Whether you are building your dream home or transforming your current home, we can help. Our portfolio of products and services covers the full range of residential automation and entertainment options. Would you like to fill your home with music? Perhaps have your lights create a "lived-in" look and your thermostats automatically set back when you are away? Or maybe turn some unused space into a home theater that surpasses your local, crowded cinemas in both audio and video performance?

Read on to learn about some of the solutions we offer. Our specialty is integrating all of these systems with each other and your lifestyle.

- Home automation planning, installation, service, and support

Once we understand your goals, we will work with your architect, builder, and other contractors to integrate technology gracefully and tastefully into your home. Our approach strives to help you realize the benefits of automation and technology, never to apply technology for its own sake. We can provide these benefits while artfully concealing the necessary equipment, or we can call attention to components with striking industrial design as you prefer.

We will take your project from design through to completion, and provide service and support whenever you need it.

- Control systems and user interface devices

Our specialty, we proudly offer Crestron control systems. With a Crestron system, we can provide you with complete control over your media room or home theater, or even your entire home. Crestron offers the world's best built-in, wireless, or remote (internet) interactive user interfaces.

As a Crestron Certified Programming company, we also offer complete software services to both end user and dealer customers. Our software is a step above the competition offering enhanced reliability and maintainability as well as top notch graphic design. The result is a system that works better, is more reliable, and costs less to maintain.

- Home theater

Whether your dream home theater is a fully custom private cinema or a multipurpose media room, new construction or retrofit, we can help. We offer the latest design and construction techniques to create a home theater environment visibly and audibly superior to commercial venues.

- Lighting control

As an essential component of a modern home, a lighting control system provides mood and scene lighting to fit your lifestyle. With the help of your lighting designer or ours, we provide you with the means to take complete control over the lighting environment including the appearance and amount of both artificial lighting and natural daylight.

- Music and video distribution

Key to enjoying music and video is the ability to select what you want to hear or see at the time you want it and at the location where you are. The right controls with the right feedback make operating audio and video systems easy and intuitive.

A favorite feature is the ability to organize an entire music collection on one digital music server so that different family members can listen to their favorites at the same time in different locations.

Taken a step further, it is possible to integrate video cameras, voice paging, and even high definition video into a system so these capabilities are available when and where you want them.

- Security systems

When safety is at issue, a reliable security and fire protection system is critical. We partner with the best protection system manufacturers and use top quality sensors to minimize false alarms make certain security and fire conditions are detected and reported as soon as technically possible.

Our systems include such features as smoke detectors with centralized battery backup so you never have to change batteries in the smoke detector. Our systems also integrate into the automation system to add additional safety capabilities such as turning off heating and air systems when a fire alarm is present to avoid circulating smoke.

- Environmental control

One of the most practical automation features, heating and air system control can pay for itself in energy savings alone. How would you like to never have to adjust a thermostat again? By integrating your heating and air conditioning system with a home control system, your home will have heat or air when and where it is needed. And when you are away, thermostats set back to save energy.

- Telephone systems

A telephone system is a useful addition, particularly in larger homes. These systems help sort out multiple phone lines and telephones throughout the house. With them come such features as whole house paging, room monitoring, and automatic fax routing. Add a voice mail system to get the convenience of having separate voice mailboxes for every member of the family, and the ability to access messages from any telephone.

- Cabling

Home systems, from simple to complex, require adequate and correct wiring to be installed either during construction or remodeling, or retrofit. Our installers are among the most skilled in the industry and can make sure the "information highway" in your home is properly installed where it belongs - inside the walls. We use only the best materials and connectors that we have verified ourselves in field use.
