As the holidays approach, homeowners throughout Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Petersburg are busy prepping their homes for guests, cooking festive meals, decorating the outside, creating music playlists, and decking the halls. But while you’re making your home beautiful and inviting, don’t forget one of the most important seasonal checkups: your smart home technology.
At Integral Home Technology, we help Tampa Bay homeowners and designers prepare their homes for the holidays with professional technology installations and tune-ups. From firmware updates and network optimization to upgrading lighting, sound, and entertainment systems, a few smart changes can make this season the smoothest—and most enjoyable—yet.
Update Your Smart Home Systems
Just like your HVAC or appliances, your smart home systems benefit from regular maintenance. Our expert team ensures your systems are running the latest Control4 home control software and firmware, helping improve reliability and performance as the glue to all these tethered joyous technologies.
Whether you use Lutron Ketra color-changing intelligent lighting to set the perfect mood or enjoy voice-controlled Josh.ai automation, updating ensures every feature operates at its best. Imagine holiday dinners illuminated by warm amber hues or vibrant light scenes that complement your décor and set the tone for festive gatherings, and stunning visitors before they even enter the house—all possible with a properly updated Ketra or Coastal Source lighting system.
Strengthen Your Network for a Full House
With family and guests streaming, gaming, and connecting to Wi-Fi, your home network will be under more pressure than ever. Access Networks delivers enterprise-grade reliability and coverage so your devices never lag behind.
We design and install robust Wi-Fi solutions across Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg homes to keep your holiday season running seamlessly—whether you’re watching movies, playing favorite tunes throughout the house, or hosting a virtual toast.
Upgrade for Style, Sound, and Celebration
If you’ve been considering a technology refresh, the holidays are the perfect time. Start with a new display like Samsung The Frame, which is a 4K QLED TV that doubles as elegant wall art when it’s off, blending beautifully into your home’s décor. It’s the kind of upgrade that looks as good as it performs and you can download various digital artwork (the above image is an example from Etsy, for instance) or upload photos to personalize it.
For artful sound, consider Leon Ente SoundTiles, which combine acoustic performance with visual elegance. Each sound tile features custom artwork and delivers high-fidelity sound, ideal for both entertaining and quiet nights in.
To fill your entire home with music this season, update your whole-house audio system with Sonance solutions. Known for their “Designed to Disappear” philosophy, Sonance offers in-wall and in-ceiling speakers that blend perfectly into all your interior spaces while producing rich, room-filling sound for every occasion.
Bring Video and Audio Outdoors
In Florida, the holidays are made for outdoor entertaining. Extend the festivities into your outdoor living spaces with SunBriteTV, a provider of weatherproof televisions built for patios, pool decks, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens. A SunBriteTV display lets you stream football games, classic holiday movies, or family photo slideshows outdoors with bright, glare-free 4K picture quality even under sunlight.
Pair your outdoor display with Coastal Source audio and lighting systems to complete your open-air entertainment area. These outdoor-rated products are engineered to withstand the coastal climate while delivering concert-quality sound and refined landscape lighting that creates a resort-like atmosphere right in your backyard.
Don’t Forget Home Security
Planning to travel this season? Gift yourself peace of mind by checking your smart home security system. Integral Home Technology offers remote monitoring, camera access, and alert systems from Digital Watchdog that help safeguard your home while you’re away, so you can enjoy your trip knowing everything back home is under watchful eyes.
Additionally, smart home controls custom programmed by Integral Home Technology enable systems such as interior lighting and motorized shades to operate on specific schedules to make it appear that your secure home is occupied while you’re enjoying vacation. Remote access enables you to peek in on your Tampa, St. Petersburg, or Clearwater home while you’re anywhere with internet access.

From firmware updates and network upgrades to new displays, audio systems, and smart lighting, Integral Home Technology helps homeowners throughout Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater prepare for the holidays with ease. We pride ourselves on our HTA (Home Technology Association) Certification and expertise for homeowners, designers, architects, and builders.
