Free of dead spots and full of opportunity,
every new PulteGroup home is ready to connect to your life how,
when and where you want it
Enviable design, quality construction, desirable locations and
ample choices are why homeowners for decades have chosen to build
their dream home with PulteGroup. Now add connected to the list,
with every newly-built Pulte, Centex, Del Webb, DiVosta and John
Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods home professionally constructed to
accommodate the latest in smart home automation to fit every
homeowner’s lifestyle how, when and where they want it.
“The home of the future is here, giving our homeowners the
ability to seamlessly control their lights, thermostat, security
systems, appliances and more with just the touch of their cell
phone or sound of their voice,” said Ryan Marshall, president and
chief executive officer of PulteGroup. “Hotels, cars, restaurants,
offices, subways, airplanes and other places we visit on a regular
basis are fully wired for our convenience. Yet until now, most
homes were not, often requiring a frustrating mix of patchwork
solutions for those wanting to integrate technology into their
home. Now homeowners will have the flexibility and efficiency of a
home that is wired and ready when they are.”
Every new Pulte, Centex, Del Webb, DiVosta and John Wieland
homeowner will now have the luxury and ease of adding smart
technologies that best fit their lifestyle at any point – without
the cost, disruption or hassle that comes with retrofitting the
home after it’s built. From the ground up, the home is ready to
connect with seamless WiFi reliability and increased bandwidth,
thanks to built-in access points and direct wiring throughout the
home. Built-in wiring and assured WiFi connectivity from anywhere
in the home allows access to a full array of customizable products
and features designed to run a smarter home.
“The homes we design are inspired by the consumer and tailored
to how they live,” said Marshall. “Maybe you have been flirting
with Google or already have strong feelings for Alexa, we let you
pick the roommate you want. We’re offering homebuyers the
flexibility to choose the features and technology they value and
that truly enhances their lifestyle without interfering in it.
Whether it’s the base home that’s pre-wired and ready for anything,
a home outfitted with selected options from a full suite of smart
technologies, or going with full automation to bring the home to
life—the choice is theirs.”
Trusted Brands and Partners
Studies have shown that smart home technology can reduce heating
and cooling costs, improve home security and increase resale
appeal, among other benefits. Moreover, recent survey data
commissioned by PulteGroup shows that seven in 10 consumers believe
having smart home technologies available in their home is
important.
With their smart technology-enabled home, owners have the
flexibility to choose offerings that work best for their lifestyle
from nationally-recognized providers:
- Smart thermostats from Honeywell and
NEST that can help to more efficiently heat and cool the home,
while offering owners the ability to adjust the thermostat
remotely
- Remote garage door openers from
LiftMaster that open and close garage doors remotely through a
smartphone app
- The latest advancements in application-
and voice-enabled appliances from Whirlpool
- Smart door locks from Schlage that can
lock or unlock remotely
- Smart entry lighting, smart switches
and outlets from Leviton that allow homeowners to set the mood with
just a tap of a finger to adjust lights via a smartphone app. The
combination can provide greater overall security for the home
- Doorbell audio cameras from Ring Wired
Elite, so homeowners can see who is at the door before opening
- Smart speakers, including Amazon Echo
and Sonos, with voice control and crystal-clear sound for music,
TV, movies, radio and more
White glove professional installation of these and other
applications is also available, allowing homeowners to enjoy their
connected home without the added stress of set-up and
configuration.
Home Security is Top of Mind
According to the latest survey data from PulteGroup, the vast
majority of homeowners value smart home technologies for security
purposes more than for entertainment. According to the survey, more
than 70 percent of respondents rank security systems among their
top three choices when asked about features they value the most.
It’s not surprising then that smart doorbells, with video and voice
capabilities, and smart door locks are also considered more
important than entertainment features such as smart speakers and
wireless sound systems.
“Through a smartphone, homeowners can keep an eye on their home
while out for the day, remotely close a garage door left open at
night, or turn on and off the lights while on vacation,” said
Marshall. “Pulte Smart Homes are now smart from the ground up and
can be configured to meet the specific needs of our
homebuyers.”
