All you need to do is step outside!

Total home control is something you’ve come to love in your indoor rooms, so why not bring all of that smart functionality to your outdoor entertainment areas?

The Outdoor Audio Experience

Taking a Bluetooth speaker to your patio area is undoubtedly an option when you want to listen to a song or podcast episode, but there are more impressive, yard-encompassing solutions that ensure every guest and family member can hear what’s playing.

Satellite speakers, camouflaged rock speakers, and subterranean subwoofers are all options the expert team at Titan Technology have at their disposal to create an exciting soundscape that complements the rest of your furnishings. Mountable under-eave speakers can line your patio, and bollard loudspeakers can bring 360-degree audio to every corner of the property. Weather-resistant TVs and speaker enclosures prevent sun damage and debris, moisture, and insect penetration. Uniquely crafted speakers with corrosion-proof materials offer entertainment for years to come!

To raise and lower the volume, switch media sources, or operate other outdoor solutions besides the AV, all you need to do is pull out your smartphone or use an IP-rated universal outdoor remote. Both Crestron and Savant home automation systems integrate with outdoor audio systems, so within a few seconds, every area of your backyard is ready for fun this spring! There’s no need to stay cooped up indoors.

Crestron vs. Savant for Outdoor Spaces

For the ultimate entertainment experience in your outdoor spaces, both Crestron and Savant offer incredible functionality and an impressive and intuitive user experience that you are sure to love. Not only will you be able to control your outdoor AV system, but you can control every corner of your Houston-area property as well.

Savant is perfect for large and unique homes with multiple amenities and technology solutions that you want to control with a single system. If you’re an Apple fan, then you’ll love how Apple-optimized Savant is with its seamless integration with iPhones and iPad for controls (it works for Android devices, too). It doesn’t offer quite as many customization options as a Crestron system, but the options are vast, nonetheless.

If you prefer a more customizable home automation experience with either Android or iPhone capability, Crestron may be the better smart control system for your home. If you find an IoT (internet of things) device at your local big-box retailer, the likelihood of it working with a Crestron system over a Savant system is greater. More third-party brands are added to the Savant Pro Partner program regularly, but Crestron has a wider breadth of partnership at this time.
