Builders Enhance Their Projects with Automated Outdoor Entertainment

According to a survey by the International Casual Furnishings Association, 90% of Americans reported that outdoor living spaces are more valuable than ever. That was back in 2021, and the demand for outdoor living has only increased. Patios are particularly desirable and, according to PaveTech, can bring homeowners an 80% ROI. 

For builders and contractors looking to enhance their properties and increase profits, an outdoor living area sheltered from Greenwich, CT's cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers offers a great draw. Even better news is that you can create these spaces with motorized outdoor shades, adding beauty and enhanced efficiency while appealing to the growing number of buyers interested in smart home technology. 

At Digital Home Systems, we’ve worked alongside builders, architects, and designers since 1999, integrating the latest home automation. Let’s look at how outdoor shades enhance today’s outdoor living.

Home networking is an essential component that plays a central role in the overall performance of your smart home. Sub-standard networking solutions often cause buffering or don’t provide coverage throughout the house and can downgrade your daily life.
