Explore the Full Power of a Connected Home
Think back to the last time your home environment helped you relax. You may have been lying on the couch, listening to your favorite song, surrounded by soft ambient light, with the shades closed for privacy. This is the kind of space that makes you feel warm, protected, and relaxed.
For too many people, those moments are few and far between. Life gets busy, and the environment becomes less comfortable when you have no time to adjust it. But what if you could press a button, and your space transformed? With one touch, your favorite musician streams through your whole-home audio system, delivering pure, rich, and detailed music. Your lights shine the color of candlelight, the temperature rises, and the shades lower. And one touch is all it takes.
That’s the power of a connected home.
Here, we’ll explore how various technologies work together to create a seamless living experience.

Lighting Designed for Life
For the longest time, lighting was one-dimensional—one hue that dimmed or brightened but did little else. At Provident Electric, we partner with industry leaders in the home automation and entertainment sphere. In lighting, Lutron and its subsidiary Ketra have come together to create one of the most advanced automated LED lighting systems.
This system lets your house become the canvas and light, the paint. Every color in the visible spectrum is at your disposal, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, dining, your children’s birthday parties, and more. Once the lighting is perfectly aligned, you can save it as a scene and call it up with a single touch.
This system also aligns your home’s lighting with the changing light of the sun. Ketra’s Natural Light feature adjusts illumination levels throughout the day, mirroring the rise and fall of the sun. This helps you sleep deeply and wake refreshed.
Managing Natural Light and Privacy
The natural light that streams through your windows can be breathtakingly beautiful. Unfortunately, it also emits UV rays that damage the interior of your home. In the summer months, it’s responsible for excessive heat and increased pressure on your AC.
While Lutron motorized shades allow you to raise or lower any or all shades with one tap, they can also be programmed based on the time of day or the position of the sun. In the morning, they automatically open, letting in the early morning light. Midday, when direct sunlight enters your home, shades on south-facing windows close to reduce solar heat gain. In the evening, every shade closes for privacy.
Music Made for Smart Home Living
Music has the power to transform a space. It lifts us up when we’re feeling down and provides the celebratory backdrop during life’s milestones. You’ll find that when your music is effortless to control and available at the touch of an icon, it fills your home with its beauty more often than not. Automated whole-home music lets you select a room, choose your audio source, and adjust the melodies effortlessly.
The Ideal Setting for All of Life’s Events
Life is made up of moments, from birth to birthdays, sharing a meal with friends, and hosting extravagant parties. Whether entertaining, sitting down to dinner with the family, or enjoying a movie, a smart home makes everything better. Press a button, and your home prepares for the occasion.
