Optimizing Well-Being

For many years, luxury living was defined in terms of opulence. Lavish homes with plush furnishings, extensive fine artwork, and elegant chandeliers made the luxury list. Today's luxury home, however, is leaning toward wellness and home environments that enable one to de-stress and leave their cares behind.

Press 'Relax,' and your smart home turns on your relaxing playlist, streaming in the outdoor area. It heats the spa and transitions the indoor and landscape lighting to align with the sun's natural light. Continuing advancements in lighting, whole-home audio, and outdoor living will create even greater environments designed for relaxation.  

A Smarter Home with Artificial Intelligence

AI has entrenched itself in nearly every industry, and home automation is no exception. These homes learn, performing acts based on past preferences. Do you usually close the shades when you and the family sit down to dinner at 6 pm? Now, your smart home does it for you. 

It can also analyze the conditions of your environment as they relate to the natural world. For instance, if the sprinklers are scheduled to turn on in an hour, but a storm is approaching, it stops them from engaging. 

This AI-smart technology has also segued into home security. From differentiating strangers from friends and your family pets from wild animals, your security cameras only send notifications and live video feeds when necessary.  

More Sustainable Living

Increasing environmental concerns have left many homeowners looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. As 2025 nears, you can expect more people looking to smart homes and the technology they provide to address these concerns. 

One example of enhanced sustainability is a home that goes into eco mode after everyone leaves for the day. The shades lower, the lights dim, all AV equipment turns off, and the temperature automatically lowers, reducing energy consumption.

Be the Change

Sustainable living and enhanced well-being start at home and are the new luxury living. Technologies like AI and advanced energy management show us what's possible when technology works toward a sustainable future.
