Six Smart Home Tune-Ups to Make Before Your Next Gathering

When friends or family come to stay, even for a night, your home suddenly has to work a little harder. More people use your network, your TVs, your smart speakers, your lighting controls, and yes, your Wi-Fi password. That increased activity can expose the cracks in older or poorly performing home technology.

If juggling remotes, fixing Wi-Fi dropouts, or resetting devices has become part of your hosting routine, it may be time for a simple tech tune-up. Daisy’s nationwide network of smart home technicians can quickly diagnose issues, modernize outdated systems, and make your home easier for everyone to use, including guests who don’t know (and shouldn’t have to learn) your home’s inner workings.

Below are six ways a Daisy integrator can help you reclaim simplicity, comfort, and sanity:

1. Strengthen Your Wi-Fi (because everything depends on it)

   Reliable Wi-Fi isn’t just about faster streaming. It’s the foundation of the modern home. When guests arrive with their phones, tablets, laptops, and streaming habits, your network can get bogged down quickly.

   A Daisy integrator can:

   • Identify bottlenecks causing slowdowns and dropouts
   • Add access points to eliminate dead zones
   • Create a secure guest network so visitors can connect without compromising your privacy
   • Tune the network to ensure smart speakers, TVs, and security devices stay responsive, even with extra users in the house

2. Create “Favorites” Buttons

   You know how your system works. Your guests… don’t. A Daisy technician can create simple, intuitive “Favorite” or “One-Tap” buttons on remotes, touchscreens, and apps that:

   • Launch favorite streaming services immediately
   • Turn on the home theater without any guesswork
   • Activate only the lights a guest needs and automatically turn them off
   • Illuminate night-time pathways to the bathroom or kitchen

3. Deliver Music to More Spaces

   If you like to listen to music during dinner, while cooking, or when relaxing, your guests probably will too. A few well-placed and properly integrated wireless speakers will transform the house into an inviting, cohesive environment for everyone to enjoy. And because Daisy handles the setup, everything stays synchronized and easy to control.

   Daisy technicians can seamlessly extend your existing audio system to:

   • Guest bedrooms
   • Guest bathrooms
   • Dining rooms
   • Patios
   • Garages and informal hangout spots

4. Automate Your Lighting

   Lighting has a surprisingly powerful impact on comfort, navigation, and security. With minor modifications, Daisy can help you automate lighting in ways that make your home both more beautiful and more functional. You maintain control without constantly flipping switches.

   A Daisy integrator can set up:

   • Automatic entry lights for late arrivals
   • Soft bedside lighting scenes for guests
   • Hands-free control in busy spaces like the kitchen
   • Scheduled outdoor lighting for added security
   • The right lighting to help guests feel at ease

5. Add Temporary or Guest-Specific Door Lock Codes

   Managing access responsibly can be tricky, especially when you have kids, neighbors checking on pets, or guests coming and going on different schedules.

   Daisy can program:

   • Temporary access codes
   • Time-restricted codes
   • Guest-specific codes for the video doorbell and smart locks

   This gives visitors the freedom they need while keeping your home secure and your primary access credentials protected.

6. Reduce Human Error (because guests will press buttons)

   Even the most well-meaning guests can accidentally reset a device, switch a TV input, move a smart speaker, turn off a network component, or change a thermostat mode. Daisy technicians can “guest proof,” your smart systems by designing simplified control interfaces, automation fail safes, and smart routing processes to keep devices running even if someone presses the wrong button.

Make Your Home Easier — for You and Everyone Who Enters It
