As we discussed in our last article, we love Black Friday because we have the day off and are lounging around with family. We don't work or shop on Black Friday and you shouldn't either! Here's another one of our "Shop Black Friday early" specials. Sonos is running a sale where you save $50.00 if you buy a bundle pack of two PLAY1 units. We are accepting pre-orders and this sale begins on 11/15/2015. Ask any member of our sales staff for details. Below is a recap of one of our earlier articles about using two Sonosii as opposed to 1.

"Today I installed two Sonos Play1’s in a 10’x10’ kitchen.  It sounded good as usual. With the Sonos phone app I was then able to change the two speakers to stereo and WOW...it really changed the sound by separating the music and really filled the room. I demoed some jazz and the horns and the drums seemed to come from opposite ends of the Kitchen! It sounded REALLY fantastic.

The client then asked if I could put one of the speakers in another room. With the app I was able to easily remove the mode for one room (two speakers simultaneously playing in stereo) and change it to a mode that is best if you want music in two separate rooms. What a cool feature!  Sonos: Easy to move, control volume and pause with app, group all or some rooms and get all the music streaming you can imagine. Sonos: Easily add more speakers like the Playbar, the Sonos SUB for BIG BASS or 3 different sizes of speakers in a good/better/best set-up. Yep, I’m a fan and will have Two Please (in Stereo)."

Araknis WiFi access points, switches and routers make for a fantastic Internet experience

"AAAAARGGH!" Here's a quote we hear a lot lately from people that hate their wireless networks.  In actuality, wireless Internet is NEVER the preferred medium and you want to go with a hard-wired connection when possible. However, the convenience of wireless is tough to beat and has become more and more popular. To ensure good wireless performance in your house:  

1) CHOOSE A QUALITY WIRELESS ROUTER

The wireless router supplied by the cable company is rarely a good choice. Selecting a better router from companies like Apple, Luxul or Ruckus will make a BIG difference in your range, speed and capabilities. Our client Marlena had us change out her cable-supplied router for a better one yesterday and just e-mailed us with "Having WiFi all over the house is amazing". Quality routers make for a quality network as long as they are optimized correctly. Read on.

2) OPTIMIZE YOUR NETWORK

As more and more devices become wireless, all of these competing devices make it increasingly difficult to get a quality wireless signal. This can cause websites to take a long time to load, streaming services like Netflix or Amazon to drop out or other computer issues. Did you also know that your neighbor's network and devices can affect how things work in your home? Sound scary...no problem! Our technicians are trained to delve deep into your network to ensure that issues such as competing wireless channels, 2.4 Ghz noise, insufficient network speeds from the provider, etc. are dealt with promptly and accurately so that your wireless network ROCKS!

NOTE - UPDATE AS OF 12/18/2018

Lutron Caseta light, shade and temperature control

"Home Automation" has become synonymous these days with huge home technology projects that cost 6 or 7 figures and that automate everything from audio/video systems to lighting, security, HVAC, appliances, etc. However, it is very easy to enter the fray with a simple, inexpensive addition that can make your life easier. Introducing Lutron Caseta, the lighting solution for every home.  

THE PROBLEM

To turn on/off the outdoor and pool lights, our particular client had to go outside to access the switches. The outside of their home in East County has little ambient light and is very dark at night. Unfortunately, there were plenty of critters outside like rattlesnakes and spiders that were in the way of the switches.

THE SOLUTION

The addition of the tiny box pictured above and a few dimmers/switches allowed our customer to now access their lighting with their phone and iPad. While being inside the house (and away from said rattlesnakes), the touch of a button on the phone/iPad turned the outdoor lights on, making it easy and safe to comfortably use their outdoor area and pool.

Lutron Caseta also allows you to:

1) Turn on/off your lights away from home. You can also turn on your house lights when arriving home from the safety of your car.

2) Turn all of your house lights on/off with just one button push.

3) Control your motorized shades, allowing one touch to raise/lower all shades in the home.

4) Control thermostats while away from home. Turn on your AC while returning from work and never come home to a 90 degree house again!   

This is just one of MANY options we offer to make your life easier through technology and home automation. Interested? Give us a call and find out why Aire Theater Designs is San Diego's home automation and lighting control expert.
