Shea Homes Introduces State of the Art Technology and Security Solutions

(Scottsdale, AZ) - Shea Homes Arizona has just announced that they have teamed up with LiTera LLC to offer new Shea Home buyers an innovative variety of new technology and security solutions.  Shea Home owners can now communicate, view and access security systems and any Internet enabled device anytime anywhere with options that give customers access and control of technology from their phone, TV or computer.  Shea Homes has just rolled out these packages at a few new communities with Entrada at Vistancia in Peoria acting as the main hub for personal demonstrations.  These one-on-one technology presentations are open to everyone 7 days a week at Entrada.  To schedule a demonstration, interested home buyers can call (928) 252-3220.

Homes in these communities offer buyers access to home technology and security controls through an integrated Web-based portal, which is located within the home.  The portal allows the home owner to control functionality inside and outside the home, whether they are at home, away on business or enjoying a vacation. Shea Homes began conducting research nearly three years ago to determine which technologies were most important to their buyers and together with LiTera developed a variety of technology packages that are designed to enhance the homebuyer’s lifestyle while providing peace-of-mind through added security benefits.

Some of the features currently being offered as optional packages include: 

• Digital media access
  iTunes and Digital media server, enables homes to have TV and anywhere access to digital photos,  movie and music downloads, even data back up and surveillance camera recording can be controlled with a click of the mouse at home or away. 
• Surveillance
  Front/back door cameras which are integrated into a web based portal and can be viewed through the TV.  The network can also be expanded to view a guard gate camera and record to digital media server or PC.
• Home automation operation/monitoring
  Controls such as turning on/off lights, checking/controlling thermostats, etc., can be done remotely through Internet access and can reduce utility costs by up to 20%.
• Service and Support
  LiTera provides 24/7 phone support for all home technology including personal computer, gaming devices, and much more

“Shea Homes continually strives to find unique offerings that will bring added value to our new home buyers.  By offering these new technology packages, our goal was to provide a universal Web-based interface that would link together the technology and security options in one portal to provide increased access to the home while away.  Our buyers told us services such as being able monitor their homes’ activities and control security when not at home was of key importance.  We also wanted to find an easy way to control all the technologies that have become so important to our lives,” said Ken Peterson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Shea Homes.

Shea Homes will be personalizing technology and security packages at each of their communities based on home price points and feedback from buyers.
