If getting ready for warmer weather means more than cleaning the patio furniture and having the pool opened, you need to plan now ! With a warmer-than-average Spring predicted, now is a great time to give thought to how you want to entertain outdoors this season. Huge fire pit and outdoor movie screen?

Moral of the story--be careful who you select to handle your home's technology installation. IDS has a longstanding reputation for providing quality work. Contact us to learn more.
When You Need a Roof Over Your Head
If you'd like some shade outdoors but don't have a structure, you need to take a look at Aracadia Louvered Roof systems. These can be standalone systems or attached to an existing structure. They can pivot open and closed, depending on how much light you need and the angle of the sun. They can also slide, to open completely open the space above. Definitely worth exploring for your summer enjoyment!
For Sonos Fans
If you're like us and really enjoy your Sonos system, worry not! The voice-enabled Sonos One works with several virtual assistants. This means it'll play nicely with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri. In fact, the Sonos One is the only Wi-Fi smart speaker that easily pairs with other speakers to complete your home theater.
