Discover Who Makes Smart Homes Come Alive & How It’s Done
Behind the Scenes of a Home Integrator
Smart homes offer incredible convenience, security, beauty, and entertainment, elevating the day-to-day experience of living. Controlled from a user-friendly interface, such as a touchscreen or keypad, your home is managed effortlessly, from lighting to climate, security, TVs, music devices, and more.
But a smart home offers so much more than one-touch control from anywhere. It also knows your preferences and responds accordingly, creating the ideal ambiance from when you wake up until you retire. It creates a healthier home and provides high-fidelity music in every room. In essence, it offers an incredible lifestyle.
Reaching this level of functionality requires a home integrator with extensive experience, training, and knowledge in whole-home automation. Let’s explore how a smart home in Arlington, VA, comes together and the role a technology integrator plays.

How Does a Smart Home Work?
The brain behind your smart home is a master controller that connects to all your devices and systems. These devices also communicate with each other, responding in much the same way as dominoes. When a room heats up above a specific temperature, the motorized shades lower to reduce solar heat gain, and, in response, the lights brighten if the room’s occupied.
At Innovative AV, we partner with Savant, the home automation platform designed for luxury homes. Your entire home can be managed from one intuitive app, whether in your bedroom, backyard, or vacationing in Europe. It also controls your home’s many amenities, including pools, spas, saunas, home theaters, and more.
It sends notifications when something goes wrong, such as a leak in the basement or a stranger walking onto your property. Scenes manage multiple devices simultaneously. When you tap ‘Dinner,’ the shades lower, the lights take on a golden glow, and jazz streams softly through your home.
What Is a Home Technology Integrator?
A home technology integrator specializes in home automation. They design, engineer, and install smart devices and systems and then configure and program these systems to respond to the central control, each other, and the sensors that detect temperature and occupancy. Using geolocation, they program your smart home to respond to your presence and create the perfect environment based on the time of day or activity.
To accomplish this, they must understand device compatibility, ensuring everything works seamlessly together. They must stay current on the technology that changes almost instantaneously. An expert-level integrator creates scalable systems that can evolve as your needs change and technology advances. And they implement the highest security measures to ensure your privacy and data are protected.
As you can imagine, this level of expertise requires extensive, up-to-date knowledge. At Innovative AV, we have over 35 years of experience creating customized smart homes, each uniquely crafted to provide an experience that exceeds our client’s expectations.
