The Difference Between Piecemeal and Integrated Smart Homes
Smart Home Companies Offer a Comprehensive Approach to Home Automation
In the last decade, smart devices have grown almost exponentially. It's hard to walk into a home that doesn't have some smart technology, whether a smart speaker, video doorbell camera, or smart 4K TV. While this intelligent equipment offers numerous benefits, an integrated smart home provides much more.
A home automation platform manages all your smart devices and systems, including lighting, shades, climate, security, and entertainment. Everything is connected to a central hub. So, instead of using several Wi-Fi apps or remotes to control your smart technologies, you can control all of them through one system.
When working with professional smart home companies, your home in Salt Lake City, UT, becomes effortless to manage via one tap on a touchscreen, keypad, or remote. At Argenta, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored, scalable solutions, enabling you to dip your toe into home automation or jump into the sea of a fully integrated smart home.
Let’s explore a few of the many possibilities and how these systems create an integrated ecosystem of connected devices.

Integrated Technology
An integrated smart home means that one system affects the other in much the same way as dominoes. For example, we can program your motorized shades to raise and lower throughout the day based on the temperature of the room and the sun’s direct rays.
This technology maintains the perfect level of diffused sunlight, offering the beauty and health benefits of natural light while protecting your fine art and furnishings from the damaging effects of UV rays. It supports the ideal temperature while reducing energy consumption. At the same time, your lighting adjusts to the perfect level based on the amount of natural light, creating the perfect environment effortlessly.
Your lights also change color and intensity throughout the day, replicating the natural changes in light that occur throughout the day. Called circadian lighting, it brings your body back into balance with your 24-hour internal time clock, promoting increased energy during the day and relaxation as the sun sets.
A Customized Smart Home
The customization of a smart home truly defines the ultimate in luxurious living. Our project managers and certified technicians take the time to discover your family’s daily activities and lifestyle. Then we create customized solutions based on these preferences.
Many of our clients enjoy waking up to preset scenes. For instance, your shades may rise with the dawn while ambient nature sounds drift through your home, thanks to the whole-home audio system. You collect a hot beverage in the kitchen, where lights resemble the color of sunrise. Then, you head out to the patio, where your favorite newscaster is sharing the weather forecast on your outdoor TV.
As is evident, almost anything is possible with today’s smart home technology.
In 2022, Argenta made CE Pro’s list of the top 100 custom integration companies in the U.S. We believe we’ve reached this pinnacle because of our dedication to our clients and our commitment to elevating their day-to-day lives in once unimaginable ways.
