How Living in a Long Island Smart Home Enhances Well-Being

Home automation offers a luxurious lifestyle and unprecedented ease of living. With one touch of a button or voice command, you can create the perfect environment with the ideal lighting, climate, and entertainment for any occasion. Customization ensures you wake to the perfect ambiance, entertain in an inspiring setting, and feel secure at night's end. 

Many people, however, are creating a Long Island smart home for more than the convenience and one-touch control it offers. They're delving into smart home technology for the health benefits it brings, supporting their family's well-being. 

Let's discover how smart home automation creates a healthier home.

Lighting that Enhances Well-Being

Both natural and artificial light affect your mood, energy, concentration, productivity, and the quality of your sleep-wake cycle. Natural light boosts the production of vitamin D and serotonin, your "happy" hormone. 

Motorized shades manage this natural light for you. They automatically rise in the morning, infusing your home with diffuse sunlight. When damaging direct UV rays enter, they lower.

Smart lighting systems also mimic the light of the sun, changing in intensity and color temperature throughout the day. This lighting realigns your body's internal clock, promoting a more restful sleep while contributing to a warm and comfortable living space.

Maximizing Relaxation

According to WebMD, up to 90% of all doctor's visits are stress-related. The adverse health effects from this constant strain are many and include headaches, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. 

Your smart home creates the perfect environment for relaxation. Our Home Theater of Long Island team can program a 'Relax' button that transforms your home, reminding your body and mind to relax and let go. The lights dim, transitioning to the color of sunset, while the landscape lights illuminate, mimicking starlight. A relaxing playlist or ambient nature sounds fill your home and extend into your outdoor areas, coming from your whole-home audio system and in-ceiling and landscape speakers.

The fireplace ignites, the climate adjusts, and the spa heats in the outdoor oasis-like setting. If you're feeling drained after a long day at work, you can pull up the app on your smartphone before you leave and press 'Relax' to ensure a relaxing and inviting environment welcomes you.

We can program these "scenes" for numerous activities, creating the ideal environment for meditation, yoga, or working out to your favorite tunes or exercise videos. 

Immersive Entertainment

Sometimes, the best form of healing occurs in a home theater designed to let you leave your cares behind and enter the scene onscreen, whether it's your favorite sporting event or blockbuster movie. Today's native 4K laser projectors display stunning images in brilliant colors and lifelike details. Dolby Atmos surround sound engulfs you in a 3D bubble of audio bliss. Custom-designed recliners let you melt into comfort, enabling your mind to let go and transport you to a faraway island or the 50-yard line.

At Home Theater of Long Island, we've been creating smart home sanctuaries for almost 20 years. Each home is customized, with lighting, climate, security, and entertainment aligned with your preferences.
