Get Every Room Ready for Football Season

Enjoy the Action From the Media Room to the Patio

Football season doesn't have to mean being cooped up in one room all day. The day starts in the kitchen during the pregame show, moves to the living room for kickoff, and spills onto the patio by halftime. But that’s only possible with the right foundation for football season entertainment. Otherwise, a weak wi-fi signal drops the stream in the kitchen, and the patio has no speakers wired to listen to the broadcast. 

SmartHome Solutions, Inc. designs home entertainment that moves with you as the day progresses from the early kick off all the way through Sunday Night Football. Become the ultimate host throughout the season. 

Building a Media Room That Handles a Full Slate of Games

A dedicated home theater is still the best seat in the house, but a great room or family media space needs the same attention during football season. The choice between a large-format display and a projector-and-screen combo comes down to how the room gets used the rest of the year. A big-screen TV holds up in a bright, multi-use family room where you may also want to host friends and family. A projector and screen deliver a more immersive picture, but only make sense in a room mostly dedicated to watching. 

Either way, we recommend adding surround sound via in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, as well as multi-screen capabilities. Systems like Control4 make it easy to pipe multiple streams into a single screen. Set a marquee game on one half of the screen, with the other half dedicated to the other games happening during that same block.  

Extending Game Day to the Patio and Beyond

Coastal Maine homes get some of the best fall weather of the year, and plenty of hosts still want the game on outside while it lasts. Weather-rated speakers and displays from a line like Coastal Source hold up through a full New England season, unlike gear built for one warm Saturday, so the setup doesn't need replacing every spring. 

Outdoor lighting scenes shift the whole space from an afternoon tailgate to an evening watch party with one command, so nobody's hunting down switches at halftime while guests are waiting on the next play.  Lighting activates instantly when the sun sets to keep the party going throughout the night. 

Stay In Control of All the Action 

 A Savant or Control4 system lets you pull up a ‘Football’ scene that turns on the TV, dims the lights, and adjusts the shades in every room hosting guests. It even knows the go-to channel for Patriots games, so no one is fiddling with remotes at the last second before kickoff. 

A strong, wired network from a brand like Araknis keeps every screen streaming without buffering when the whole house is live at once. That way, no one has the game-winning touchdown spoiled because their stream is two seconds behind the rest of the house.
