Home automation technology is evolving rapidly, making our lives more convenient and our homes smarter. But, the pace of technology and all of its offerings can be hard to keep up with for most consumers. As we look ahead to the rest of 2024, several trends are set to shape the future of home automation this year and into years to come. Here’s a look at the top trends you should watch out for:
As the world experiences an Artificial intelligence (AI) boom, this new technology is becoming increasingly integrated into home automation systems. AI-powered devices can learn your habits and preferences, offering personalized experiences. For example, smart thermostats can adjust the temperature based on your schedule, and AI assistants can manage daily routines seamlessly.
Voice control technology has seen significant improvements, making it a cornerstone of home automation. Devices like Amazon Echo and Google Home continue to evolve, with better voice recognition and expanded capabilities. In 2024 and years to come, expect more devices to be voice-enabled, allowing you to control everything from lighting to appliances with simple voice commands.
Home security systems are becoming smarter and more intuitive. Advanced features like facial recognition, real-time alerts, and remote monitoring are becoming standard. Smart locks, video doorbells, and security cameras can now integrate with your home automation system, providing comprehensive security solutions that you can control from anywhere.
With so many new technologies entering homes, energy management is a growing focus in home automation. Smart devices can help monitor and reduce energy consumption, contributing to a greener home. Innovations in smart meters, solar power integration, and energy-efficient appliances are making it easier to manage your home’s energy usage effectively.
As the number of smart devices in our homes increases, interoperability becomes crucial. In 2024, expect to see more standardized protocols and platforms that allow different devices to work together seamlessly. This will simplify the setup and management of home automation systems, ensuring a more cohesive smart home experience.
Home automation is set to become even more advanced in 2024, with trends like AI integration, voice control, and smart security leading the way. By staying updated with these trends, you can ensure your home remains cutting-edge and efficient. Embrace the future of home automation and enjoy the convenience and security it brings.
I have dealt with Sound and Vision for over 20 years, I am never disappointed in the quality of service that Eric, Curt, Jeff, Hector and others provide me. If I have an emergency they are always just a phone call away
Home Automation
We have worked with Sound and Vision for the past 20 years on multiple projects (big and small) and numerous evolutions of technology. They are the only home automation provider we use given the quality of the service and the responsiveness of the team.
Home Theater
They are amazing. We worked with them on a massive project remotely. We gutted and combined two units in a downtown high rise. We lived out of state while the project was designed, executed and then we moved in! Two years on, we still call them for service, changes and updates. AND it’s the same team that did our install! If you want a live recommendation, let Josie know you can call us. Highly recommend!
Home Automation
These guys are simply amazing! Terrific on all fronts – knowledge/experience with technology, creative, and most importantly, enormously responsive! They implemented a fantastic home entertainment, network, security and lighting solution that is state-of-the-art and cost efficiently designed for what we need. Eric (the founder) and his team (Curt, Jeff, and Hector) are invariably available (they respond within minutes, even on the weekend) to resolve issues. Their service is simply “five star!”

Sound and Vision has been servicing our Crestron system at our home since 2008. ALL their service techs that have worked in my home since the beginning are still with the company. They are professional, always on time, and extremely knowledgeable on all technical issues.
Also, any need for emergency calls they are always quick to respond. It is a pleasure working with Eric, Josie, and the entire staff!

After a detailed search, my husband and I chose Sound and Vision to install and manage our audio visual, lighting and smart drapes into our newly built home. They have far exceeded our expectations! And three years in, they continue to exceed our expectations! We cannot say enough amazing things about Josie, Eric, Jeff and their entire staff!
