Smart Home Technology in South Bay
Smart home technology for the beach cities, Palos Verdes, and the rest of the South Bay, with a showroom right here.
Premium Home Automation Services in South Bay
From sand-section new builds in Manhattan Beach to estates in Palos Verdes, South Bay homes ask a lot of their technology: salt air, big glass, outdoor living, and owners who notice when something looks off. We design Control4, Savant, and Lutron systems that disappear into the architecture, and we see clients at The Atrium, our South Bay showroom (by appointment).

Projects we typically do in South Bay
Beach-city new builds
Manhattan, Hermosa, and Redondo are full of tall, tight-lot contemporary builds. We plan equipment locations, structured wiring, and lighting with the architect during design, so the technology fits three and four stories without a visible rack or a single surface-mounted wire.
Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills estates
Large lots, long driveways, and serious outdoor scope: gate and access control, coverage across the whole property, landscape audio and lighting, and a whole-home system that ties it together.
Upgrades for South Bay Automation clients
South Bay Automation is now part of LA Techs. Same faces, bigger team. If your system was installed by South Bay Automation, we can support it, update it, or add on to it.

Why LA Techs in South Bay?
We're a CEDIA member and authorized by Control4, Lutron, and Savant — and that matters. It means we've passed the training, we have direct manufacturer support, and we're accountable to a higher standard. We're not a generalist AV company doing smart home on the side. This is all we do, every day, throughout South Bay and the rest of LA.
The full scope of what we cover: whole-home automation, home theater and distributed audio, cameras and security, networking and WiFi, lighting control, motorized shades, and climate automation. One team. One system. Everything works together — because we designed it that way from the start.
New build, gut renovation, or a targeted upgrade — we've done all three throughout South Bayand the greater LA area. We work directly with your architect, GC, and interior designer. The wiring gets planned before the walls close, not after. That's how you end up with a clean install instead of surface-mounted conduit and regret. Schedule a consultation and let's figure out what your project actually needs.

What happened to South Bay Automation?

When should our architect or builder bring you in?
At schematic design or early design development, before framing. That's when equipment rooms, conduit, and lighting layouts are cheap to get right. We coordinate directly with the architect, GC, and interior designer.
