Are you considering creating a space that offers the best in today’s home entertainment? Thanks to advancements in audio and video technology, your choices are many. 

One of the common questions we get at Home Automation Hawaii when our clients embark on this journey is the difference between a home theater design and a media room. While both offer the best in entertainment, their uses and designs are usually quite different.

Let’s explore some of the elements that set these two spaces apart and discover which one may be right for your home in Oahu, HI.

Consider all the tasks you perform in a day as you manage your home and environment. From turning lights on and off to raising and lowering shades, searching for the right remote to control your TVs and stereo, and adjusting your thermostat, life is made up of these moments. 

But what if your home performed these daily tasks for you? What if you woke to shades slowly rising, letting in the first rays of the sun? Your ‘It’s Another Beautiful Day’ playlist softly streams through your home via nearly invisible in-ceiling speakers. You rise to the perfect temperature, and when you make your way to the kitchen, you find your favorite newscaster on the TV and the latte made—a life of luxury.

A home automation system does just that. From when you wake up until you retire, it sets the stage for life's many activities. Through one tap on a touchscreen, remote, keypad, or even voice command, you manage virtually every connected device in your home, including motorized shades, lighting, climate, security, entertainment, pools, and spas. Or, your smart home does it for you.
