Comfort & Efficiency  

It used to be that keeping a home at its most comfortable state while still being mindful of energy use can be a challenge when you’re forced to adjust thermostats, position shades / draperies, and turn on and off lights manually. Well not anymore! Step into the 21st century!  Imagine with just a tap of a screen or voice command, the lighting changes, the rooms adjust to your preferred temperature, the smart motorized shades glide open, your bedroom music begins to fill the room and slowly wake you up. Incorporating window blinds in home automation systems helps to protect your belongings from the sun’s harsh rays, increase your home’s privacy, and reduce energy usage while bringing a unique elegance to your décor.

Ultimate Entertainment Experience    

High end home automation applications allow you to be in control of how you want your home to function; whether you want added relaxation or to transform your home into an entertainment oasis—or somewhere in between—it’s entirely up to you.  For example, from the mobile device, tablet, keypad or touchscreen you use to monitor and operate the lights, thermostats and other electronic gear, you can tell your home’s music system to deliver songs from your favorite music streaming platform to speakers in the family room and kitchen. Or imagine you are having an exclusive soiree your guests might convene in the entertainment media room where with one tap of a button the lights fade, the shades lower, and the surround sound audio / video system sets up to present a movie on a big projection or LED screen television. Make cutting edge technology home automation the ultimate reward for the people who matter most.   

Centralized Distribution  

The power of centralized distribution, as part of a luxury home automation system, puts you in total command of your smart home technology with all of your equipment located in one convenient centralized location. Listen to different sources in different rooms, watch different shows throughout the house, or bring it all together for a party mode and listen or watch the same thing everywhere. By replacing the clutter of multiple devices, outdated light switches and thermostats scattered randomly throughout the home, you can not only have technology that is easier to use, but enhanced functionality that is not available with multiple stand-alone systems.     

High-End Automation Control Installations 

When most people think about having a luxury automated home technology system installed, the incorporation of scads of different high-tech equipment such a Seura Mirror TVs or multi-zone sound systems is often the first thought that pops in people’s heads. While the installation of the best-in-class AV products and network systems is certainly an important part of the process, there are many other steps that should be followed to ensure that the system suits all of your needs. 

We have a couple suggestions for you to think if your wanting to make your residence a smart home.  

Gather some ideas

If you’re unsure of what you really want out of an automation system, or even if you already have a fairly good idea, you could visit an NYC experience center showroom of a home automation manufacturer such as Savant , Lutron, or Crestron. Here you’ll be able to experience the technology first hand, get the full picture of its capabilities, see how it enhances the look and feel of a room, and try out the controls for yourself. The benefits can make it easier for to envision a system in your own home and will likely introduce you to new features and functions you may have not have previously considered. You’ll also gather a sense of how the technology can be integrated in a way that complements your home’s design and décor.  

Set up an In home House Call Consultation

When we conduct a free in-home consultation at a persons home, we strive to be professional and following a consistent and transparent process. This way you know exactly what to expect throughout all phases of the project and have a clear understanding of how your technology goals are brought to life. The project process can entail steps such as initial concept through design, product procurement, construction, installation, upgrades and services.

Our consultations start with relaxed conversation where we learn everything about your needs and preferences so we can design a system curated just for you. We’ll take the time to learn about your lifestyle, interests and budget or space constraints. As we learn more, we’ll be able to better tailor the ideal functionality and capabilities for your system. The size, structure and design of your home, whether it’s being built or already finished, and the devices and systems that you may already have, will all impact the decision on which types of technology to incorporate; for example, hardwired or wireless, types of subsystems, special features, etc. During this first visit to your home an Expert Tech consultant will walk through the entire residence and inspect areas like basements, attics and closets for locations to stow equipment and run cabling. Before or after the tour of your home, you can expect very direct questions about the sorts of features you’d like to incorporate.    

Smart home system proposal and design 

The next step is taking the information from the initial discovery meetings to craft the design for your system according to your performance priorities and budget qualifications. This overview proposal gives an overhead explanation of the subsystems for each room. It outlines the features and functionality you can expect from multi-room audio, video, motorized window treatments, and networking. We’ll discuss it with you and integrate your feedback before moving on to the next stage. This will be the project specifications which include your specific budget qualifications and performance expectations by creating an easy to understand scope of work document. Which will include more detailed plans about the hardware models, labor requirements, low-voltage wiring, engineering schematics and rack elevations. We can share this documentation with you as well as any property managers, contractors, architects or interior designers involved in the process.  

 Equipment Installation Process   

From new builds to retrofit and refit installations, top-shelf products and attention to detail are the cornerstones to success. After the system has been designed and configured and the necessary low voltage cabling is pre-wired behind the walls, our passionate and certified technicians should be ready to install the automation components. The structured wiring will be neatly labeled and fully documented for easy troubleshooting and expansion. This will likely include an equipment rack, as well as keypads, touch screens, speakers, TVs … basically anything attached to the walls, ceilings or floors. 

At this point, it’s just a matter of hooking everything up and trimming it out by patching drywall, applying fascias to flat-panel TVs and painting over built-in speakers.
