Under Control – Run Your Home Remotely
Have you ever rushed home to double-check whether you closed the garage door or adjusted the thermostat? Thanks to today’s smart-home technology, you no longer have to wonder. With modern devices and mobile apps, you can manage many of your home’s key functions remotely — all from your smartphone or tablet. Whether you’re across town or across the country, staying connected to your home has never been easier.
Remote Control for Everyday Convenience
Smart-home features allow you to adjust lights, thermostats, appliances, and more with just a tap. Set schedules for lighting, dim individual fixtures, or activate motion-sensor illumination for added efficiency. Create customized temperature settings that adapt throughout the day, helping your home stay comfortable while conserving energy.
Many devices also track usage patterns, giving you helpful insights into how your home operates. From adjusting room temperatures to monitoring energy consumption, smart-home tools help streamline daily routines and support a more efficient lifestyle.
Home Security, Simplified
Today’s smart-home security options offer peace of mind, whether you're at work, traveling, or simply enjoying time away from home. Remote-accessible devices can alert you to unexpected movement, open windows or doors, smoke or carbon monoxide issues, or interior moisture levels. With real-time notifications, you can respond quickly when it matters most.
For even greater control, many homeowners add Wi-Fi–enabled security cameras or doorbell devices that allow them to check in anytime. Smart locks also offer convenience by letting you lock or unlock doors from your phone — especially helpful for guests, deliveries, or family members.
Smart Features for a Modern Lifestyle
From lighting and temperature control to entertainment and appliance management, smart-home systems blend seamlessly into modern living. Many Ernest Homes floor plans support enhanced electrical packages, smart thermostats, and other customizable options during your Design Studio appointment.
If you're building a new home, our Design Studio team can help you choose the technology upgrades that best fit your lifestyle.
Not Ready for a Full System?
You don’t need an entire integrated system to start enjoying smart-home convenience. Homeowners often begin with individual devices such as smart thermostats, app-controlled lighting, or voice-activated assistants. These add comfort and efficiency without requiring major installation — and can be expanded over time as your needs grow.
