Music and media are influential factors in your life; it gives you joy, sparks inspiration, informs you about the world, and gives pace to the day. Your favorite media can stream through your San Diego, CA house like sunlight from windows or cool air from vents. Audio-video installation technology has made it possible to access any content from anywhere in the world and deliver it to any device in your home.

While technology is central to our daily lives, it need not be the center of our home's focus. Electronics and gadgets have a way of interrupting interior design's flow and aesthetics. At One Touch Living, we understand that our systems are a means to an end, not the reason for a home.

Voice control is a long sought-after technology. The first practical voice-control unit was made by Bell Labs in 1962, a device called the ‘Shoebox.’ It recognized a voice speaking the numbers 0-9 and a few mathematical commands. We have come a long way since then, with voice command ‘smart speakers’ becoming nearly ubiquitous. 

While voice control is now more popular, not all implementations offer the same feature sets or flexibility level. Control4 has embraced voice commands as an interface from very early on and now supports complete home automation. Whether you are looking to control a single device or your entire Santa Fe, CA home system, as a Control4 dealer, we can happily state that it is our favorite system to integrate with Alexa.
