Whether you live in Hawaii full-time or only visit the island parts of the year, make sure your smart home systems are always protected!

During the past few weeks, power outages in Hawaii have been a rather common occurrence due to intense weather. This has prompted residents and businesses alike to take some preventive measures, such as conserving water. For part-time homeowners that don’t live permanently on the island, this might be only a minor inconvenience, but the truth is that the hassle of power outages reaches even those who only visit on weekends or summer vacations. 

Power outages are known for damaging electronic systems and devices. If you are a luxury homeowner, you probably rely on technology on a daily basis to make your living experience more enjoyable, comfortable and luxurious.

The Customized Home Theater Redefined

Has your Kona home been itching for the ultimate entertainment space—a room where friends and family gather, share stories, watch the latest sporting event, and binge-watch their favorite Netflix series? 

What? No blockbuster movies? Actually, there will be many nights spent immersed in the cinematic wonder of it all—the detailed, brilliant images that take you into the scene and the immersive surround sound that leads you away from your comfy chair and into another world.

We wanted, however, to illustrate that a home theater means very different things to different people. One glance at home theater images on Pinterest will leave you wondering what defines a home theater. For some, it's tiered recliners, large handcrafted movie screens, and starlit fiber optic ceilings. 

For others, it’s large, fluffy throw pillows, chaise lounges, and the immersive 100-inch 4K TVs. At Control Freaks Hawaii, we’ve even created home theaters poolside, immersing viewers in high-definition images under the starry skies while lounging on floating pool chairs and sipping mai tais.

What do you envision? 

We'll explore the many options and devise the perfect solution. Then, we'll create a space that exceeds your expectations and becomes the favorite room in your home.

Let’s consider the possibilities.

The Latest Lighting Systems Include Full-Spectrum and Tunable Lighting

There’s something incredibly beautiful about the changing light on the Big Island. From the soft blue skies at sunrise to the golden-violet glow at sunsets, we’re blessed to live in a place that offers such beauty. 

Unfortunately, most of us spend much of our time indoors. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, we spend, on average, almost 90% of our days inside buildings. That's nearly the opposite of our ancestors, who spent 90% of their time outdoors. Their bodies' internal time clocks were set to the sun, responding with increased energy during the day and relaxing when evening descended. 

By spending time indoors, we lose touch with that natural rhythm. At least, we did. Lutron’s Ketra lighting changed that by revolutionizing LED lighting and bringing the dynamic power of natural light indoors. 

Let’s explore what that means for us and our Kona, HI, homes.

How to Get the Most From Your Smart Home Tech

Smart home technology out of the box is … meh. It can do some neat things, like turn your lights on and off or lock your front door, but where is the “wow” factor that you wanted? It might surprise you that many home technology products don’t have a “wow” factor without further customization.

If you’re planning to add smart home technology into your place, it’s best to work with professional automation system integrators like Control Freaks Hawaii. We take smart devices and make them smarter, so they can help you live out your automation dreams. 

Please keep reading for more ways system integrators like us can help deliver the cool factor to your Maui, HI, residence.
