866-552-9035The holidays are around the corner, and that means one thing: guests. Whether it’s a cozy family gathering, an end-of-year bash, or a surprise visit from out-of-town friends, your home needs to be more than just clean and decorated. It needs to be smart, safe, and seamlessly connected—ready to deliver an experience that makes everyone feel at home.
That’s why, at Advanced Tech, we specialize in smart home holiday hosting upgrades that bring comfort, convenience, and confidence to your celebrations. Explore these smart holiday hosting upgrades designed to transform your space into the ultimate guest-ready environment.
1. Set the Mood with Automation
Kick off your list of smart holiday hosting upgrades by setting the perfect atmosphere. With automated lighting, sound, and even climate control, you can create the perfect ambiance with the tap of a button, or better yet, your voice.
- Smart lighting lets you set warm, cozy tones for dinners or vibrant, fun settings for parties.
- Multi-room audio systems allow you to play music in every corner of your home—seamlessly and wirelessly.
- Automated shades and temperature control keep the mood just right, day or night.
Bonus: Schedule it all ahead of time so your home transitions automatically as the evening unfolds.
2. Simplify Guest Access
Between out-of-town visitors and local drop-ins, managing who’s coming and going can quickly become a holiday headache. One essential smart holiday hosting upgrade is providing easy, secure entry with smart locks and digital access.
- Issue temporary digital keys to family or friends so they can let themselves in—no need to hide a spare key under the mat.
- Keep track of who enters and when, right from your phone.
- Combine your locks with a smart video doorbell for an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
It’s convenience that feels personal—and protection that feels effortless.
3. Power Up Your Wi-Fi
No list of smart holiday hosting upgrades would be complete without making sure your network can handle the extra demand. With more phones, tablets, game consoles, and even smart speakers connecting at once, your system is going to be working overtime.
- Upgrade to a mesh Wi-Fi system for strong, seamless coverage in every room (yes, even the guest bedroom or outdoor patio).
- Set up a dedicated guest network to keep things secure and fast.
- Add managed services to ensure 24/7 network reliability, even with the holiday traffic surge.
Bonus: Add smart voice assistants in common areas so your guests can play music, control lighting, or ask for the Wi-Fi password. It’s a small touch that makes a big impression.
4. Put Safety First, Without the Fuss
The holidays should be worry-free. A few simple upgrades can help you relax, knowing your home is protected.
- Smart security systems keep an eye on things indoors and out, with mobile alerts if anything unusual happens.
- Integrated fire systems and smoke detectors ensure your celebrations stay safe—even with candles, fireplaces, or cooking experiments in the mix.
- Motion-activated lighting and surveillance in key areas protect your property, even when you’re not home.
