For many of our clients, success has led to the acquisition of a second home. This might be a lake house in Wisconsin, a retreat in the Northwoods, or perhaps a winter escape. When your weekdays are spent navigating complex operations, leading teams, and making critical decisions, a second home should be a source of pure rejuvenation rather than another management stressor. However, the reality of owning multiple properties often involves a lingering mental checklist. You find yourself wondering if you turned the AC down, if the driveway is plowed, or if the heavy storm last night caused a leak.
Furthermore, enjoying your getaway should not mean wrestling with an unfamiliar interface or a new set of remotes. At Barrett’s Technology Solutions, we provide a unified, common experience across all your properties. Whether you are watching TV, listening to music, or controlling the lighting, shades, temperature, and security, the operation is completely seamless. You never have to learn two separate systems.
At Barrett’s Technology Solutions, we use our six decades of accumulated know-how to collapse the distance between your properties. Because your intuitive smart home setup is mirrored in both locations, you can feel completely at home with how the technology works the second you walk through either door. We provide the "Invisible Magic" that allows you to manage your second home with the same ease as your primary residence, ensuring that the moment you pull into the drive, the house is ready to welcome you.
The Weekend Welcome Home
Imagine leaving a long week of meetings and strategy sessions behind on a Friday afternoon. As you cross the state line, you pull up your home automation app. With one tap, your second home wakes up. The HVAC adjusts from "Unoccupied" to your perfect 68 degrees. The exterior lights turn on to greet your arrival, and your pool and spa systems begin to warm to your preferred temperature.
By the time you pull into the driveway, the "Micro Friction" of owning a second home has been eliminated. You aren't walking into a cold, dark house to begin a list of chores. You are walking into a sanctuary that has been expecting you.
