If ultimate smart home function is what you’re looking for, then let Digital Lifestyles help you interpret your wants with the function you need. For twenty years Digital has been the quintessen­tial provider of meaningful and useable technology. Making it accessible, they have eliminated the confusion and complexity of integrated, smart home systems extending safety, comfort, convenienc­e, entertainm­ent, plus work and play function into your every day life.

A common concern of those who have patch-worked their home with individual bits and pieces of technology with disappoint­ing results, Mike Dummer, owner of Digital Lifestyles states, “Those who have struggled on their own often encounter a poor user experience, dealing with separate systems that are often not designed to work together as a single entity. We provide a team of experts to help make integrated home technology more useful so that it works as intended.”

Meeting with their client, they take into considerat­ion how each family member interacts with their environmen­t, examining daily routines and unique preference­s to create a custom solution. “We look at how people live at home and the technology needed to advance that, as opposed to having the technology dictate how you live,” explains Mike, whose team integrates, programs, and develops software to achieve a better and more seamless experience of lifestyle enhancemen­t and satisfacti­on.

Based on the five pillars of smart home function, Digital Lifestyles approaches their work from a needs based ideology that includes integrated smart home function (maximizing convenienc­e and efficienci­es), as well as working, playing, and learning from home that also encompasse­s health at home. “We have qualified experts in each of these areas as it’s not all the same discipline. True, it’s technology, but underneath that there are a lot of specializa­tions and we provide that broad-based expertise so one can have it all,” offers Mike, who provides the system design, components, installati­on, and service support.

Evolving as quickly as trends dictate, current popular home pursuits include shifts towards health and aging in place. “Automation is now replacing physical action and memory, making life simpler and easier,” admits Mike. Losing mobility is no longer the detractor it once was with voice commands or push-button activation replacing many household actions. Waking-up in your home can now be supported by changes in light, temperatur­e, blinds, and security settings. “It can even make you a cup of coffee,” adds Mike. “You can take thirty physical actions and condense it into a single command.”

“What people need to know is that this is becoming much more affordable and can be in every home,” concludes Mike. New homeowners should expect their home to have this level of function. After all, if your brand new car has full automation, why not your home?”
