Taylor Morrison is offering Texan home buyers of different budget range the opportunity to have an interactive home. The home builder is integrating home automation technologies across its range of homes. Taylor Morrison said the connected home solution will allow home owners to screen visitors at the front door, change the music in the family room, and control their home from the palm of their hand.
Home buyers in Houston, Texas will be introduced to the Taylor Morrison Interactive Home this spring.

Taylor Morrison said they got the inspiration for the connected home from “The Innoventions Dream Home” exhibit at Disneyland Park, where they worked with Microsoft, HP and they Disneyland Resort to create a high-tech, high-touch experience in an integrated environment.
“It’s fascinating to see aspects of the “The Innoventions Dream Home” come to fruition in homes we build. From a sales perspective, high technology is exciting because it’s not widely available in our price point and demand is growing,” said Amy Haywood-Rino, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Taylor Morrison’s Houston division.
