The holiday season is a time to gather with loved ones and celebrate the joys in our lives. At Thanksgiving, we pause to be thankful for our blessings and each other, commemorating with family gatherings, expressions of gratitude, and good food.
One thing you might feel thankful for is the home that keeps you and your family safe, comfortable, and together. If you have a smart home automation system, you have a little extra to be thankful for–a helping hand during the hustle and bustle of the holidays! At All Systems Integrated, we specialize in smart home automation to make your life easier and safer. That can be especially important during a busy holiday.

The Innovation of Smart Home Automation
Smart homes are becoming more and more popular. It allows you the most convenient, comprehensive control over the various aspects of your home and daily life. Smart home automation integrates the various technologies and appliances in your home, from lighting to entertainment devices, so that you can operate them all from one interface, both at home and on the go.
All Systems Integrated partners with Control4 to bring the latest in smart technologies. We offer modern solutions for your home security, entertainment, scheduling, thermostats, and so many other aspects of daily life.
How to Take Advantage of Your Smart Home During the Holiday
Smart home automation brings convenience and simplicity to your daily life, which can be a lifesaver during the especially busy holiday season. Many of us are traveling or hosting large family gatherings. That means people coming and going, a seemingly endless menu of food that needs to be bought and prepared, and having everything arranged for a comfortable setting.
Being able to control your home from a simple app on your phone isn’t just one less thing to worry about–it’s several things taken care of! Let’s explore some of the ways you can make the most of your smart home automation system during Thanksgiving.
Voice Control for Busy Preparations
We all know the aggravating struggle of trying to unlock the door or turn the lights on with an armful of groceries. Or how about when you’re running around the kitchen, cooking multiple things at once, and something is beeping but your hands are already full?
Situations like these, which we find ourselves in frequently when preparing for large family gatherings and Thanksgiving feasts, are the perfect time to take advantage of voice control with your smart home system. Control4 flawlessly integrates with Amazon Alexa devices so you can lock or unlock the door, adjust the lighting or thermostat, turn on an appliance, schedule a reminder, or start the music with just a voice command.
Easy Entertainment and Atmosphere
For some of us, Thanksgiving celebrations involve a house overflowing with people of all ages. As the host, you may find it overwhelming to try and cater to everyone’s preferences. One group of adults might want to sit by the fireplace to chat, another might need brighter lights at the table to play cards, and the kids might be downstairs wanting to watch a movie. You might want to add background music or adjust the thermostat.
There’s no need to run around the house making all these changes, when you want to be spending time with your friends and family–let your smart home system do it! You can easily control lighting, temperature, and entertainment with your phone or voice control.
Welcome Guests to Your Secure Home
If you’re hosting a Thanksgiving party, you’ll likely have several people coming and going from your home, and you may not have the time or freedom to let every individual in. Your smart home system makes it easy to view who’s at the door and unlock it for them. With Intercome Anywhere from Control4, you can even greet them from a speaker at your door!
Of course, once everyone is inside enjoying the Thanksgiving meal, you want the peace of mind of a secure home. Smart home automation enhances home security. You can integrate the system with alarms, cameras, motion sensors, and any other security measures for easy control.
