4 Things Your Media Room Needs

A media room is a modern essential. Having a room to relax and enjoy movies, sports events, tv shows, video games, and more can create longtime memories that will invite everyone into your home. A media room creates an incredible opportunity to host for family, friends, and neighbors. The options for your media room are endless, and you can easily customize your media room to become the perfect hangout to meet your needs.

Right now your media room might just be a family room. Or maybe you have an unfinished basement that’s just begging to become the showstopping media room you see in the magazines. Perhaps you have the big screen TV but nothing else, and you’re wondering how to maximize that space for your family and to create options. No matter what your situation, AMT Integration can help you understand your modern technology options and smart home gear that can change your media room experience.

Why Create a Media Room?

Many homeowners ask us “What’s the point of a media room? Can’t I just use my family room?” You can certainly use your family room to host the Super Bowl or finally have that Star Wars movie marathon, but wouldn’t a dedicated media or theater room be much more awesome? The point of a media room or theater room is to create a space dedicated to entertainment and relaxing in your home. Family rooms are often designed for gathering, toy storage, photo display, and a hundred other purposes. Your media room is a spot for exclusive entertainment and can be catered to whatever your family does best.

A media room is especially important to people who love to host, and families with teenagers. If you love to host parties, watch awards shows, binge watch your favorite TV shows and movies, and follow sports teams, a media room can be the solution to all of your problems. A media room can provide a spot for the serious viewers to gather while freeing up the kitchen and family room for other members of the party.

Using a Nest in Your Office

using-a-nest-in-your-office

Smart home technology has been an exciting development in this day and age, but there’s no need to keep the advancements in the home. Smart home technology can be even more effective for protecting and optimizing your workspace. Using smart home technology in your office may seem unnecessary and expensive, but there are actually a plethora of benefits to bringing new and updated tools into your workspace.

At AMT Integration we are passionate about creating a web of smart technology that meets the exact needs of our customers. We utilize a wide range of tools to create a smart space that is safe, comfortable, efficient, as well as time- and money-saving. Today, AMT Integration is sharing some critical information and benefits of using a Nest or other smart thermostat in your office space. If you’ve been considering this type of smart technology for your office space, read carefully to determine if a smart thermostat could be the right choice for your office, and exactly how to make your smart office happen.

Can You Make a Smart Office?

Technology is rapidly changing our world. There are plenty of new gadgets to optimize every part of your life, from your front door to your last email on vacation. If there is a problem or sore spot in your life, chances are there is some new technology that can solve it for you. If not, just wait a minute and one will be invented. While many of the new technological advancements focus on creating a smart home or increasing the efficiency of your favorite hobby or sport, there are so many new ways to improve your office.

Why Make a Smart Office?

In an office, the bottom line is, well, the bottom line. Many office owners and administrators may spend their efforts on ideas that cut costs and maximize profits, so upgrading features of the office to make it more “smart” can seem expensive and useless. Creating a smart office will take time, effort, money, and a significant learning curve as everyone learns to work with the new smart technology. It takes work, and you may not have the necessary time and funds to complete the task of assembling a smart office from the ground up.

So why should you consider making your office a smart office? There are actually many reasons. First of all, though there are upfront purchases necessary for creating a smart office, the technology that enables a smart office will also save you money in utilities and productivity. Next, it’s a process that will benefit you in the long term. Finally, it’s a winner for employees and customers.

Money-Saving Smart Offices

A smart office utilizes technology in ways that will help it run more efficiently. This can look very different for each office and company based on their needs, but the general idea is that you can automate so many of your regular processes to maximize your dollar and run things smoothly. You know the costs that come with operating your business, and your overhead has a significant impact on your profit margins. What if we told you that upgrading to a smart office would decrease your costs AND improve the quality of life inside your office?

Let’s begin with the most common example – a smart thermostat. Installing a Nest or other smart thermostat allows you to automate the temperature of your office, and to control it remotely. This means that you can create a “schedule” for your office’s temperature. Turning down the temperature while you’re closed can save hundreds of dollars a year, and keep you from paying extra because someone forgot to turn down the heat over Christmas Break when your office was vacant.
