With DIY projects trending in the smart home sphere, you may find yourself looking up “Smart home installation near me,” only to decide you can do it on your own.

This disjointed affair is a far cry from the automated smart home in which all devices work together seamlessly, communicating with the home automation platform and each other.

Here, we’ll explore Control4, a leading home automation system, and discuss why it’s essential to work with an integrator for your Greenville, SC, project.
