Some partnerships that we see in this industry make sense. Think Ketra and Lutron, Control4 and SnapAV, and countless others that have combined their strengths for a truly transformative product.

On that note, the strategic partnership with sister-company Racepoint Energy, Savant developed energy modules engineered to deliver both control and energy management functionality of electrical loads. Sonnen integrated its award-winning EcoLinx product with Racepoint Energy’s leading battery solutions, giving New York City homeowners an unprecedented way to monitor and manage energy consumption.

2019’s CEDIA Expo was abuzz with wellness trends, including biophilia. Originally referring to “the love of living things,” the term has expanded to the smart home industry, as you’ll find out later.

CEDIA showed us an entire “Wellness Pavilion” dedicated to big brands like Rayva, Delos and more, all displaying products that brought the outside in. So, why is this important? Humans spend the vast majority of our time inside, which deprives us of the light, fresh air and relaxing nature sounds we need. Biophilia, to a large extent, gives that back.

As CE Pro editor Julie Jacobson puts it, “Nature can make us whole again, and if you can’t get enough of the real stuff, you can fake it quite effectively. The research is pretty clear on the health benefits of certain nature simulations (applied in certain ways), such as circadian lighting, air movement and purification, climate controls, and nature scenes playing on ordinary TVs with a sound-system assist to play birds and streams.”

How can you achieve a more nature-like atmosphere in your New York City residence? In this blog, we’ll talk about how home lighting control, wellness retreats and cleaner air can make a big impact. Keep reading below to find out more.

What happens when the power goes out in your Greenwich, CT home? In the city, it’s difficult to run an emergency power source like a generator. If your building is very modern, perhaps it might have a generator backup to power essential services - but it may not power your home.

Until recently, the possibilities for storing energy in your home were minimal or not cost effective. But recent advances in battery technology have now made it possible to save energy for an emergency situation. Moreover, the smart energy management technology built around that battery technology makes it a system useful for more than just emergencies.

With the deregulation of electric power and demand-based pricing models, smarter energy management strategy has come to the fore. What if you could reduce your energy consumption when prices were highest?  What if you are energy conscious and would like to participate in demand response programs, where the utility can lower your energy use at peak times - but you don't want to sacrifice comfort? With an energy management system in your Greenwich, CT residence, you can take advantage of all those opportunities.

Integrated Electronic Solutions is proud to bring the state-of-the-art in energy management to Greenwich, CT with the sonnen ecoLinx system. The sonnen ecoLinx is the first product of its kind that can be linked with smart home automation systems. With both systems working in tandem, you can manage your energy consumption more intelligently than ever before - and always be ready when the power is interrupted.
