Smart home automation for New York homes

Instead of opening several apps or using separate controls for every device, the most important parts of your home can work together: lighting control, motorized shades and window treatments, home audio, home theaters, TVs, climate control, security integration, Wi-Fi networking, and whole-home automation.

01 Complete Home Automation

Lighting, shades, entertainment, climate, security and networking combined into one platform - a home where technologies work together instead of operating as separate systems.

02 Motorized Shades & Window Treatments

Shades, blinds, curtains and drapes controlled from wall switches, remotes, apps, or your main system - or automatically, by schedule, sunlight and time of day. Better privacy, less glare, no manually adjusting every window.

03 Home Theater / Media Room design & Setup

TVs, projectors, screens, speakers, surround sound, receivers, amplifiers, streaming devices, lighting and shades - programmed so you do not need several remotes just to watch a movie.

04 Smart Security & Access Control

Cameras, doorbells, locks, alarms and gates integrated into the automation system where compatible equipment is used- a simpler way to check the property and control connected security features.

05 Smart Lighting Control

Control individual lights, rooms, or your entire home from keypads, touchscreens, mobile devices, or automated schedules. One button can prepare the living room for a movie, turn everything off as you leave, or soften the lighting for the evening.

06 Whole-Home Audio

Play music in one room or throughout the property using discreet in-ceiling and in-wall speakers while keeping most equipment hidden. Different rooms can play different music, or several areas can share one source.

07 Climate Control

Smart thermostats integrated with the rest of the system, so temperature lives on the same interface as lighting and shades and adjusts by time of day or how the property is being used.

08 Wi-Fi & Networking

A smart home depends on a stable network. We design and install Wi-Fi and wired networking with reliable coverage throughout the property - especially important in larger homes with many connected devices.

02 / Commercial Services

Commercial & office automation in New York

Offices, conference rooms, retail locations, hospitality spaces, restaurants, showrooms and other commercial properties - easier to operate, with fewer separate systems for employees to manage.

01 Office Automation

Lighting, shades, climate, displays and audio from centralized interfaces, with simple settings for opening, closing, meetings, presentations and events.

02 Conference Room Technology

Displays, cameras, microphones, speakers, video conferencing, wireless presentation, lighting and shades - a meeting starts from one control interface.

03 Commercial Lighting Control

Lighting by room, floor, zone, schedule, occupancy or predefined scenes for offices, meeting rooms, reception areas, retail spaces and restaurants.

04 Motorized Commercial Shades

Manage sunlight, glare, privacy and heat - controlled manually, programmed to adjust during the day, or integrated with lighting and building automation.

05 Commercial Audio & Video

Distributed audio, speakers, TVs,Distributed audio, speakers, TVs, digital displays, presentation systems, video walls and centralized control.digital displays, presentation systems, video walls and centralized control.

06 Commercial Wi-Fi & Networking

Wired and wireless networks that support employees, guests, conference systems, smart devices and security equipment.

Working with architects & interior designers

We design and integrate complete home and office automation systems from start to finish, and work closely with architects and interior designers to help bring their vision to life.

Our role is to make technology fit naturally into the design of the space. We coordinate with your team to understand the layout, materials, finishes, lighting plan, furniture and intended use of each room.

We help plan the placement of keypads, touchscreens, speakers, displays, motorized shades, equipment, wiring and network infrastructure before construction begins - reducing conflicts between technology and the design plans.

We can work from your drawings, specifications and design direction, or help develop the technology plan with you.

We make sure that your vision is implemented flawlessly.

06 / FAQs

Smart home automation FAQs

The questions homeowners, business owners, architects, designers and contractors ask most when planning an automation project in New York.

How much does a smart home automation system cost in New York?

It depends on the size of the property, the systems you want to control, and how much automation you need. A single room of lighting control is a very different project from a whole-property system, so we scope and price after reviewing the space and what you want it to do.

Can you automate an existing apartment without opening the walls?

In most cases, yes. Wireless lighting control, battery and retrofit motorized shades and wireless audio let us automate finished apartments and townhouses with minimal disruption. We will tell you up front where wiring would give a better long-term result.

How long does an installation take?

A single-room project can often be installed and programmed in a day or two. Whole-property systems and new construction follow the construction schedule, and we plan our work around the other trades.

Which brand or platform is right for my project?

Different brands solve different problems. Lutron and Ketra lead on lighting and shades, Savant and Control4 bring many systems into one platform, and Crestron suits larger homes and commercial environments. We recommend based on what the project actually requires.

Do you work with my architect, interior designer or contractor?

Regularly. We coordinate with architects, designers, electricians and general contractors, work from your drawings and specifications, and handle the technical details, installation, programming and final adjustments.

Can you upgrade or replace an older automation system?

Yes. We evaluate what you have, keep the parts still worth keeping, and replace outdated control equipment. An upgrade often improves reliability and makes the system much easier to use.

Do you work in co-op and condo buildings?

Yes. We are licensed and insured, and provide the certificates of insurance and documentation New York buildings require before work begins.

What support do you provide after installation?

We stay with the system: adjustments after you live with it, remote diagnostics where the equipment supports it, and service visits when something needs attention.
