Set Sail with Smart Control of Your Boat 

A day at sea should be a luxurious escape. So if you’re on your yacht for hours, days, or even weeks, you need technology that’s easy to use and understand for everyone on board. You need a system that just works for everything from lighting to audio to security. 

Luckily, smart systems like Control4 aren’t limited to home control. We can integrate your boat’s technology into one intuitively-controlled marine automation system. And if you already own a Control4 smart home system, your boat can be accessed from the same app and interface!

Marine automation simplifies life on the water, making your boat much easier to manage. What does it do? Read on to see how smart technology can benefit your yacht, superyacht, or sports cruiser in Lighthouse Point, FL! 

Smart Control Applies to Marine Lighting, Too

Transform the Atmosphere Above & Below Deck with Smart LED Lighting 

When the sun sets over the Atlantic, that doesn’t mean it’s time to sail back to the marina and head home. If your boat is equipped with smart marine lighting, you can set the scene for a fun atmosphere all night on the water. 

At First Priority Audio, we install marine lighting that users can intelligently control to adjust the color and brightness of lights above and below water. Are you ready to upgrade your boat’s lighting? 

Whether you own a sailboat, a sports cruiser, or superyacht, read on to discover the possibilities for your Fort Lauderdale, FL boat’s lighting. 

Keep Bugs & Glare Out with Outdoor Motorized Shades

The Accessory Every Patio & Pergola Needs 

Studies have shown that spending time outdoors provides a wealth of health benefits—lower blood pressure, less stress, better focus, and improved moods. And who doesn’t love spending a day in the shade or a night under the stars? We’re lucky to live in the Parkland, FL, area. So why not make the most of the beautiful weather? 

A few things can stand in the way of a blissful time outdoors. For one, most of us need to work during the day, and the bright glare of the sun makes it hard to see our laptop screen. Even when we can work from home, most of us still stay inside where there’s AC, and the lighting is better.

Another problem? Insects. Florida’s been named the ‘buggiest’ state in the nation, according to homeowner surveys and insecticide sales. If glare and insects prevent you from making the most of your patio, porch, pool house, or pergola, it may be time to consider motorized shades.

Outdoor motorized shades are a smart solution to keep insects and harsh sunlight from your outdoor living areas. Here’s how motorized shades work and the best brands you can trust for year-round performance.
