Taking Home Automation to the Next Level

Home automation transforms your house into an intelligent living environment where lighting, climate, entertainment, security, and more work together seamlessly. Instead of managing dozens of separate systems and remotes, you control everything from a single interface—whether it's a touchscreen, smartphone, tablet, or voice command.

Our home automation solutions create personalized experiences like "Good Morning" scenes that gradually raise shades, adjust lighting, set your preferred temperature, and start your favorite music. Home automation enhances comfort, improves energy efficiency, increases security, and adds substantial value to your property while simplifying daily routines.

As a Control4 Gold Dealer and Lutron certified installer, we specialize in premium automation platforms known for reliability and seamless integration. Control4 serves as the central nervous system, orchestrating everything from entertainment and climate to security and lighting. Lutron provides world-class lighting control, motorized shades, and energy management.

We're an exclusive Lutron dealer in a 75-mile radius, giving our clients access to premium lighting solutions unavailable through other providers. These enterprise-grade platforms integrate perfectly with video surveillance systems, access control, multi-room audio, and network infrastructure for true whole-home automation.

Our comprehensive automation solutions control virtually every aspect of your home environment. Lighting systems include dimming, color temperature adjustment, and automated schedules. Climate control manages HVAC, thermostats, and ceiling fans. Motorized window treatments adjust based on time, temperature, or sunlight.

Entertainment systems include multi-room audio, home theater control, and 4K/8K video distribution. Security integration combines door locks, cameras, and alarm systems. We also automate gate operators, pool and spa controls, irrigation systems, landscape lighting, and even appliances—all managed from a single, intuitive interface.

Control4 acts as the central automation platform that connects and coordinates all your smart home technologies. Unlike consumer-grade systems that require multiple apps and create a fragmented experience, Control4 provides a single, unified interface for everything—lighting, climate, entertainment, security, and more.

As a Control4 Gold Dealer, we design custom automation programming that creates intelligent scenes and schedules. For example, "Away Mode" can automatically adjust thermostats, close shades, arm security systems, activate surveillance cameras, and even simulate occupancy with randomized lighting—all triggered by a single button or automatically when you leave. This level of integration is impossible with DIY smart home products.

Yes! Our Control4 systems integrate seamlessly with voice assistants including Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit/Siri. You can use natural language commands like "Alexa, set the house to movie mode" or "Hey Google, I'm leaving" to trigger complex automation sequences.

Voice control works alongside other control methods—touchscreens, keypads, smartphones, and programmable buttons—giving you flexibility to interact with your home however feels most natural. We program custom voice commands that trigger your personalized scenes, adjusting multiple systems simultaneously with a single phrase. This hands-free convenience is especially valuable when cooking, carrying groceries, or putting children to bed.

Lutron represents the gold standard in smart lighting control, offering unmatched reliability, sophisticated dimming technology, and beautiful designer controls. As a certified Lutron installer and exclusive dealer in our region, we provide access to premium products unavailable through typical integrators.

Lutron's advanced dimming technology works flawlessly with all bulb types—LED, incandescent, and specialty lighting—eliminating the flickering and buzzing common with inferior systems. Their motorized shading systems integrate with lighting to optimize natural light, reduce energy costs, and protect furnishings from UV damage. Lutron products are engineered to last decades, backed by industry-leading warranties and support from our certified team.

Intelligent automation dramatically reduces energy waste through scheduled operation, occupancy sensing, and environmental response. Climate systems automatically adjust when rooms are unoccupied or when you're away from home. Motorized shades close during peak sun hours to reduce cooling costs, then open to maximize natural light and minimize electrical lighting needs.

Smart thermostats learn your preferences and create optimized schedules that maintain comfort while minimizing HVAC runtime. Lighting automation ensures lights turn off in empty rooms and outdoor lighting operates only when needed. Many clients see 20-30% reductions in utility costs while improving comfort. The system also provides detailed energy usage reports, helping you identify additional savings opportunities and track your return on investment.

Home automation investment varies based on home size, systems integrated, and customization level. A comprehensive Control4 and Lutron system for a typical home might range from $25,000 to $100,000+, depending on the scope. This includes professional design, equipment, installation, programming, and training.

However, automation doesn't require an all-or-nothing approach. We design phased implementations that start with high-impact areas like lighting and climate control, then expand to entertainment, security, and other systems over time. The investment delivers immediate value through convenience and energy savings, while significantly increasing property value—luxury home buyers expect sophisticated automation. Plus, our managed services protect your investment with proactive maintenance and ongoing optimization.

We excel at both retrofit installations and new construction integration. Modern automation systems use wireless technology, power-line communication, and strategic wiring to work beautifully in existing homes without extensive renovation. Lutron's wireless lighting systems, for example, require no new wiring and can replace existing switches in minutes.

For existing homes, we conduct thorough site assessments to determine the optimal approach—maximizing wireless solutions while strategically adding wiring where beneficial. Many clients are surprised how comprehensive automation can be achieved with minimal wall opening. New construction offers opportunities for integrated network infrastructure, hidden speakers, and optimized equipment placement, but retrofit projects can achieve equally impressive results with experienced installation techniques.

Unlike DIY smart home products that create fragmented experiences with multiple apps and limited integration, professional automation delivers seamless, reliable, whole-home control that just works. Our Control4 Gold Dealer and Lutron certification means we're factory-trained experts who design, program, and support systems properly—not just install equipment.

We never subcontract—every installation, configuration, and service call is handled by our certified in-house team, ensuring consistent quality and accountability. With roots in software development and a $350M tech company exit, we bring Silicon Valley innovation to South Carolina homes. We provide comprehensive managed services including proactive monitoring, remote support, and system optimization. When you call at 8:30 on a Friday night, we answer. That commitment to excellence has built our reputation purely through word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied clients who understand the difference between consumer gadgets and professional automation.
