Q: What Is an Integrator?

A: An integrator is a person or company with the skills to seamlessly implement technology into your home. A skilled integrator can provide high-end technology solutions, install them for you, and provide ongoing services and support. 

Simple AV Solutions has over 50 combined years of experience working with clients on their custom home projects. We always aim to ensure that our products and systems work now and well into the future.

Q: What Is a Connected Home? 

A: A connected home starts with proper wiring to hardwire as many devices as possible into a smart home system. A connected home simplifies how you interact with technology by integrating all devices into a simple, easy-to-use app or remote. 

Gone are the days of switching between multiple remotes or apps—it’s all in one place.

Q: How Can I Manage All Devices and Apps in One Place?

A: Simple AV Solutions installs high-end controllers like Savant that can encompass all your electronics and systems. 

Within a Savant system, we can integrate:

  • Audio speakers 
  • TVs
  • Smart thermostats
  • Security devices
  • Streaming platforms 
  • Smart lighting 
  • Motorized shading 
  • HVAC 
  • And much more! 

Whether you’re using a smartphone app, tablet, remote, wall keypad, or voice command, everything’s consolidated within the Savant platform. We can help you create custom automations and buttons that activate unique scenes. 

Q: How Do I Know What’s the Best Technology for My Needs?

A: Simple AV Solutions works with you to determine your technology needs and the best solutions to incorporate into your home. During our initial free consultation, we’ll ask you about your habits, goals, and what you envision in a smart home to design the perfect system. Every home is custom-designed and fitted for your lifestyle and needs.
