Smarter Home Solutions began its journey over 30 years ago mounting TVs and audio systems in sports bars and restaurants. Founded by Art Dirla, a musician and bar owner with a passion for immersive sound and client experience, the company grew from nightlife venues into high-end homes across Long Island. Along the way, Art aligned with icons like Theo Kalomirakis and Steve Haas, ensuring every project balanced design, performance, and affordability. Today, Smarter Home Solutions delivers practical designs, reliable technology, and quality installations—making smarter living accessible without compromise.

A Project We're Proud Of
The Challenge
This Long Island client wanted more than a theater. They wanted a top-tier cinematic experience with immersive Dolby Atmos sound, lifelike visuals, and an atmosphere that felt like stepping into another world.
The Solution
Smarter Home Solutions partnered with Old World Quality Corp, AcousticSmart, and Grimani Systems to design a true escape. The room was built with precision acoustics, a Kaleidescape movie server for reference-grade playback, and details that made the space unforgettable — from red velvet ropes and digital movie posters to a life-size Stormtrooper greeting guests at the door.
The Result
The result is a theater that rivals — and in many ways surpasses — the real cinema. Every seat delivers immersive Atmos sound. Every frame feels alive. And every guest leaves with the same impression: this isn’t just a home theater… it’s another world, built right at home.
