Smart Home Technology for Luxury Living: What To Include in Your Custom Build

Modern luxury is where elegance meets innovation, and nowhere is this more true than in smart home technology. Smart technology is becoming an integral part of luxury custom home construction, with discerning homeowners expecting intelligent features in virtually every room to make daily living simpler and more convenient at every turn.

When working with a design/build firm on a custom home, you’ll be able to integrate smart home technology into the blueprint of your home from its initial stages, ensuring seamless integration that is optimized for your unique lifestyle. If you’re not sure exactly which smart home technologies would be most useful in your custom new home construction, here are a few options to consider.

Central Command Hub

Every modern custom home needs a central command hub, the central system that connects and controls all of your smart devices. This system can integrate everything from lighting and HVAC to security and audio, allowing homeowners to manage their home through a single touchscreen panel or smartphone app.

Having real-time access to all home systems not only makes life easier when you’re at home — automatically adjusting temperature based on time of day to maximize comfort, for example, or turning off lights as you leave the room — but it also helps you ensure that everything is under control while you’re traveling. With just a few taps or voice commands, you can verify, adjust, and control key components of your home, no matter where you are or what you’re doing.

Smart Lighting System

One of the most popular smart technologies to integrate into luxury custom homes is a smart lighting system. These systems allow you to schedule, automate, and customize your lighting based on time of day, room usage, or mood.

You can have your lights gently brighten as you wake, dim automatically for movie nights, or turn off as soon as you leave the house. You can also improve your home’s energy efficiency with features like remote app control, motion sensors, and ambient light sensors, helping you save money and do your part for the planet without any extra effort on your part.

Smart HVAC System

Comfort is a critical aspect of luxury living, and nothing ensures your year-round comfort like a smart HVAC system. These systems ensure that your home always feels just right, maintaining the perfect temperature and humidity level without wasting energy or requiring manual adjustments.

Your smart HVAC system will learn your preferences, adjust according to the time of day, and even adjust in real-time to changing weather conditions. You can also opt for zoned heating and cooling, which lets you control the temperature in individual rooms, improving both comfort and energy efficiency, especially if you have many people in the house with differing temperature preferences.

Smart Security Features

Residents investing a lot of money into a luxury custom home are often concerned with home security, and peace of mind is a key component of luxury home-building. When working with your design/build firm, consider smart security features that offer customizable protection optimized to the way you live.

Consider technologies like video doorbells, high-definition cameras, smart locks, and motion detectors. You can also access most smart security systems remotely, allowing you to monitor your home from anywhere in the world.
