Smart Home Technology

Systems for music, video, lights, climate and security have become more intelligent, enabling you to easily operate them from a smart phone, tablet, keypad, touch panel, or with voice commands. Effortlessly listen to your favorite music from any area of the home with a single button press, or set the lights and shades to create ambiance for entertaining in your kitchen and living area. Using your mobile device you can view surveillance cameras, unlock the door if your child forgets the key, or set the temperature, whether you’re at home or away. Smart home technology adds convenience, comfort, and peace of mind.

Lighting and Lighting Control

Custom-tailored lighting design and light control allows you to change the mood of any area of your St. Louis home to suit the occasion or time of day. Whether you’re watching TV, dining, entertaining, reading or getting ready for bedtime, one press of a button or a voice command can create the ideal atmosphere you desire. For example, press or say ‘Goodnight’ to turn all your lights off or ‘Pathway’ to light the way downstairs. Smart lighting control also contributes to a safe environment by linking with the security system to turn all your lights on if uninvited activity is detected. New LED light fixtures save energy and can be color-changing or tunable white. Color temperature can be automatically adjusted for time of day.

Climate Control

Smart climate control makes it easy for you to set the perfect temperature of your home regardless of the season or other conditions. Create a comfortable environment by making adjustments from the same touch screen you use to control your lights, shades, and home entertainment system. Monitor and control your thermostats from a mobile device if you left your AC blasting when left home or turn up the heat before you return on a cold day. Heating and cooling your home can be expensive and our climate control solutions save you energy with programmed settings and integration as part of your home automation installation.

Multi-room Music

The days of a volume knob on the wall are long gone. Whole home audio sends music to any room in your home via a central processor or matrix switcher. Control of your music is simple and intuitive by means of a voice command, touch panel, keypad, handheld RF remote, iPad® or similar Wi-Fi smart device. Whether the speakers are placed in the walls, ceiling, bookshelves, shower or pool, they can be designed to aesthetically blend in to minimize visual impact. We also have wireless solutions that enable you to enjoy high-performance audio from anywhere. You’ll need fewer components since a single music server or a Pandora station from your smart phone can be shared in one, several, or all the rooms of your home.

Multi-room Video

Distributing video in your home enables a single video source, such as a satellite receiver, game console, or Blu-ray player, to be shared across multiple TVs via a video matrix switcher. This significantly reduces the amount of sources needed for every TV in your house and lets you hide all the equipment in a storage closet or basement, where it can easily be serviced. Instead of watching your Apple TV only in your family room, you can easily watch it on any TV in your home. By integrating the video distribution with a smart home automation system, you can further simplify your control experience.

Networking

A network is a home’s central nervous system for all communications and control. With a home network installation, we’ll help lay a solid and reliable foundation that’s robust for today’s technology, as well as for tomorrow’s. We will work with you to find a complete networking solution that satisfies all your system needs including your TV, telephone, music, security, control system and mobile devices that are connected on the network in a smart home. A high-speed and secure network provides the functionality and protection you desire.
