Setting Up Your Indoor-Outdoor Living Technology for Success

Enjoy Patio Season in Style With Intuitive Control and High-End Tech 

The spring season brings with it beautiful blooms and even more beautiful weather. Ready your outdoor spaces for Ohio’s beloved patio season with cohesive indoor-outdoor-living technology. Stop using fragmented solutions with one app for the living room TV, one for your patio speakers, and another for your landscape lighting. Even the fresh breeze is not enough to make people deal with this technology friction on a regular basis. 

At Beacon Audio Video, we specialize in integrated approaches that place all the technology in your Cincinnati, OH, home under a single platform. Every corner of your home gets the same high-level connectivity and AV performance. With unified systems like Control4, we give you a single, consistent interface to manage it all.

Unite Your Indoor-Outdoor Technology Under One Control System 

It’s time to move away from app fatigue. You shouldn’t need a whole folder on your smartphone dedicated to home technology apps. Instead, we let you use one interface for both indoor and outdoor zones. Through dedicated touchpanels, apps, or handheld remotes, you can pull up your favorite sources, adjust volume, or turn off the lights. 

A unified smart home platform also makes it easy to create a clear flow between both spaces. Start a playlist in the kitchen and have it follow you and guests to the patio. At Beacon, we focus on design-build integration, with technology becoming a natural part of the environment rather than an off-the-shelf DIY add-on. 

Prepare Your Yard for the Spring Bloom 

These design-build systems require a robust infrastructure to work their best. This is why we recommend bringing us in during the pre-bloom phase so we can add all wiring before new mulch or flowers are laid. What else should you expect from our outdoor systems? 

• Ultra-bright, glare-free outdoor TVs handle the elements and direct sunlight 
• Directional speakers designed to pierce outdoor ambient noise 
• Patio heaters that warm the patio as the temperature drops in the evening 
• Motorized screens keep out insects and the cold breeze for greater year-round usability 
• Discreet landscape lighting that turns on automatically at dusk 

Get Indoor and Outdoor Spaces to Feel Like One 

When working with indoor-outdoor living technology, the primary goal is to make all spaces feel cohesive. The first step is to add professional-grade outdoor Wi-Fi access points to give you the same reliable connectivity throughout your property. There shouldn’t be areas of the home your family avoids because they’re dead zones.

We also recommend creating scenes that tie together indoor and outdoor rooms. A Party Scene could pull up the same fun, blue-hued lighting inside and out, while having the same playlist play throughout. Scenes are also a great way to streamline your day. A Goodnight scene could lock all doors, shut off all indoor and outdoor AV, and activate outdoor security lighting. 

Early spring is the ideal time for a technology audit to ensure your backyard is ready the moment the weather turns. Call us or fill out our contact form to schedule a consultation and get your home ready for patio season.
