Smart Outdoor Entertainment Ideas for Gilbert Backyards

In Arizona’s East Valley, outdoor living is a way of life. Spacious patios, sparkling pools, and beautiful desert sunsets make backyards in Gilbert, Chandler, and Queen Creek perfect for relaxing and entertaining year-round. To make the most of these spaces, homeowners are turning to smart outdoor entertainment systems—designed for comfort, convenience, and effortless enjoyment.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we create luxury outdoor AV systems that bring movies, music, and ambiance together with elegant design and intuitive control. Whether you’re hosting a weekend barbecue or unwinding under the stars, our team integrates outdoor lighting, audio, video, and automation to elevate every moment.

Designing the Ultimate Smart Backyard

Smart outdoor entertainment goes beyond a television and speakers—it’s about creating a cohesive environment that adapts to your lifestyle. Oasis Smart Homes designs every outdoor system to complement your home’s architecture while ensuring durability against Arizona’s sun, dust, and temperature swings.

Key elements of a smart backyard include:

• Outdoor audio systems that blend seamlessly into landscaping.
• Weatherproof TVs and projection systems for outdoor movie nights or sports viewing.
• Automated landscape lighting for ambiance and security.
• Integrated motorized shades for patios and pergolas.
• One-touch control through your Savant, Control4, or Crestron smart home system.

Outdoor Audio That Blends Beauty and Performance

Music transforms outdoor spaces. Oasis Smart Homes designs distributed landscape audio systems that provide clear, even sound coverage across your entire yard—without visible hardware or uneven volume.

Features include:

• Discreet speakers disguised as landscape lights or planters.
• In-ground subwoofers for deep, natural bass.
• Zone control to play different music on the patio, by the pool, or around the firepit.
• Integration with Savant, Control4, or Josh.ai for voice or app-based control.

We specify products from Sonance, Origin Acoustics, and Coastal Source—brands trusted for reliability and sound quality in Arizona’s desert climate.

Backyard Theater Ideas for Arizona Evenings

Warm nights and clear skies make Gilbert backyards perfect for outdoor cinema experiences. Our custom outdoor home theater installations bring the big screen outside—without the clutter or complexity.

Popular options:

• Weatherproof 4K outdoor TVs that stay bright and clear even in direct sunlight.
• Motorized screens and projectors that disappear into patio ceilings when not in use.
• Surround-sound audio engineered to fill your space evenly.
• Smart lighting control with Lutron HomeWorks for perfect viewing ambiance.

With a single button or voice command, you can activate your “Movie Night” scene—lowering lights, starting your playlist, and powering on the display automatically.

Lighting Control for Ambiance and Safety

Proper lighting transforms the mood of your backyard. Oasis Smart Homes integrates custom lighting design with smart control to illuminate pathways, accent landscaping, and create the perfect ambiance for evening entertaining.

Benefits of integrated lighting:

• Automated schedules that adjust with sunset times.
• Voice and app control through Lutron, Savant, or Control4.

From soft garden lighting to dramatic architectural highlights, smart lighting enhances beauty, comfort, and safety.

Smart outdoor systems are most powerful when connected to your home automation platform. With Savant, Crestron, or Control4, you can manage all your outdoor features from one interface.

Control:

• Lighting, audio, and video systems from a single app.
