Visiting a Home Automation Showroom Could Change How You Feel About Your Home

If you like smart home features, you’ve likely picked up a few individual devices here and there at the store—a smart thermostat, maybe a voice assistant, or a handful of smart bulbs. These can be great tools. But without a larger plan, they’re like puzzle pieces from different boxes: they don’t quite fit together.

That’s the biggest challenge with the DIY approach to home automation. You might automate a few tasks, but you’re missing out on the full potential of a smart home experience—the kind that responds to your lifestyle with simplicity and grace. 

So, where can you begin to explore the full benefits of truly intelligent living? In the showroom. Learn more below!

This is Why the Showroom Experience Matters

You simply don’t know what you don’t know. That’s the truth behind why so many people think “smart homes” just mean voice-activated lights or a thermostat you can control from your phone. But when you step into a home automation showroom, you’re not just seeing gadgets—you’re stepping into what your life could feel like with the right system in place.

In our Control4 certified showroom, you’ll experience automation the way it’s meant to work. With one touch of a button, lights dim, music plays, shades lower, and the temperature adjusts—exactly how you like it, whether it’s 7 a.m. on a workday or 9 p.m. on a Saturday movie night. 

When you see these devices in action, the lightbulb (pun intended) goes off. You start to think, “Why doesn’t my home do this?”

The Rule of 99%: One Button, Endless Comfort

At Total Home, we live by the Rule of 99%. Here’s how it works: Everything in your home—from lighting and climate to audio, shading, and even security—should be accessible with a single button. That button doesn’t just “turn things on.” It aligns your living spaces with your mood, time of day, or routine.

Imagine pressing a button labeled “Evening Wind-Down” and watching your lights shift to a cozy amber, your shades lower for privacy, soft jazz fill the living room, and your thermostat nudge itself into your perfect nighttime temperature. Instead of being a futuristic wish, that scenario is in the here and now. That’s what’s possible right now with the right system, designed for how you actually live.

What Happens Without Integration?

When homeowners skip integration and buy smart devices piece by piece, they often wind up with systems that don’t talk to each other. You end up juggling multiple apps, voice assistants that misunderstand your commands, or worse, devices that stop working the way they should because they need additional updates.

This piecemeal approach leads to frustration, and instead of simplifying life, it adds noise to it. That’s the opposite of what technology should do.

A professionally designed system, which you can demo in our showroom, eliminates those headaches. You’re doing more than buying techy gear; you’re investing in peace of mind, intuitive control, and a better way to enjoy your life every single day.

Imagine the Possibilities

Think about how your home works now. Then ask yourself: how much more enjoyable could it be if all the everyday stuff just… worked? 

No fumbling for remotes. No adjusting five different devices individually. Just a single tap or swipe on your phone, on a sleek keypad, or even by voice, and your entire home responds.

Visiting a showroom doesn’t commit you to anything, but it will open your eyes to what you’re missing. And once you’ve seen what’s possible, it’s hard to go back to “almost smart.” Real smart home living is about more than the gadgets. It’s about how those gadgets come together to serve you thoughtfully, effortlessly, and practically invisibly.

That’s the 99%. And you deserve to see it for yourself. Call us at (877) 550-5150 or fill out our online contact form to schedule a visit or consultation.
