So how does this eco-system work? If you’re starting with a brand new slate, you can have an ecosystem custom-built into your home that connects various objects through the Internet of Things or (loT). According to Wikipedia, the IoT describes physical objects or groups of objects that are embedded with sensors, processing ability, software, and other technologies that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communication networks. The field is ever evolving due to the convergence of multiple technologies and is expected to grow more in the future. You might have already heard of the term ‘smart home’ which basically is a “connected ecosystem”. These include devices such as appliances, light fixtures, thermostats, home security systems, cameras, and other home appliances that support one or more common ecosystems and can be controlled via devices associated with that ecosystem such as smartphones and smart speakers.
One of the most popular rooms to incorporate smart home technology is the home theater! You’ll need to incorporate things like:
Projector Screens
Wired/Wireless Networks
Lighting Control
Audio Systems, etc.
Most of which is pretty complicated if you aren’t a certified expert. That’s why it is so beneficial to contact your local electrician or smart home specialist! Consider adding a custom home theater if your goal is to increase your home’s value!

What’s good to know is that you don’t have to completely remodel your entire kitchen layout to include the latest in smart home technology! Read my next blog post that goes more in depth about smart home technology in the kitchen!
