DIY solutions are cheaper, but they won’t work as effectively

In an increasingly digitized world, it’s easy to see why you might think you can set up all the home automation technology in your Miami, FL, home on your own. It’s as simple as driving to Home Depot or Best Buy, buying a Nest or an Alexa speaker, and plugging them in, right?

As it turns out, it’s more complicated than that. Setting up an individual device or two might be easy, but getting them all to work in a cohesive web is something else. Plus, what kind of customer support or service do you think you can expect if you go the DIY route? Today’s blog will focus on why having an integrator like IQ Automation matters when it comes to smart home design and installing the technology.

EXPERTISE

The boom of connected devices in our homes and at work – the “Internet of Things” – has greatly expanded the number and type of smart devices in your house. Your refrigerator might well be a smart device.

For the best possible experience possible when using your various devices, an integrator’s expertise makes a significant difference. We have extensive experience and training with smart home systems. Not only will we make sure all the individual devices are working correctly, we’ll also look at your home network to see if it needs tuning up. We’ll create a seamless, harmonious web among your systems to give you the easiest possible experience with the most powerful technology available.

A RELIABLE PARTNER

We’re committed to providing the very best systems and service to our clients. When you bring us on for your project, you have a partner to assist you every step of the way. We’ll work with your interior designers, architect and other contractors to ensure your home looks great and your technology works without incident. It can be intimidating to deal with some contractors, and we can serve as a go-between to make sure you get what you want. We’ll also handle the installation piece ourselves, as some of these components and the necessary wiring are tricky to set up.

SERVICE AND SUPPORT

What really makes the difference with a professional integrator is the level of service and support. As we mentioned, we’re available as a resource to make sure your vision is articulated to the other contractors. We also make sure to provide clear, consistent communication as the project unfolds so you know where you are at every step. When the project is complete, we’ll spend some time with you educating you on how everything works to minimize confusion.

Our commitment to you doesn’t end when the project is complete. When we handle your installation, we’re available as a resource for service and repairs. If you set up everything yourself, you’re your own customer support.
