Connected
Home Systems
Simple and Affordable with
Smart Technologies

he connected home market is still new territory for many mainstream
consumers, but one thing is certain - the "Internet of Things" and the
market for connected home devices is growing by leaps and bounds.
Consumer interest has doubled in the last three years, and that's just laying the
groundwork for the tremendous growth still to come.
For many consumers, the connected home concept
still seems complicated.
At Fromm Appliances & Lighting, we help simplify these decisions by starting with control for the most logical lifestyle components. We offer products
that integrate easily with the systems consumers use every day, like lighting,
shading and temperature control, to help take the first steps toward simple,
affordable connected home systems.
The connected home experience.
Just a few years ago, when builders asked clients about differentiating their
homes, the conversation was typically about flooring, countertops, and molding. Today, that same conversation often starts with smart technologies.
Whether you are building a new home, renovating, or remodeling, Fromm
Appliances & Lighting can show you how connected home solutions are
more robust and flexible than ever. Products like Lutron's Caséta Wireless
are designed to integrate easily and seamlessly with your smart phones, wearables, and connected home systems such as Apple HomeKit and Amazon
Echo.
How do connected systems make a
difference in every home?
Smart lighting control, for example, saves energy, but it also makes a home
more comfortable, meeting both obvious (dim the lights right from your
smart phone or remote control to watch a movie) and latent control needs
(connected controls can remind you to turn the lights off when you leave for
the day, and automatically turn them on as you approach your front door).
These wireless solutions are easy to install and fully scalable - this allows a
homeowner to start small, such as controlling a single light or the lights in
one room, and to add control and capability whenever they want. Lutron's
Caséta Wireless can be as easy as a lamp dimmer with Pico remote, or as
robust as connected control for the entire home. It doesn't take long to fall
in love with the simplicity, convenience, and added comfort of connected
lighting, shading and HVAC controls.
