Virtual Smart Home
Walk through a modern Los Angeles home, room by room, and see what the technology actually does: from shades in the primary suite to the theater downstairs and the gate at the street.
Tap or hover a number to see what's behind it.
Room by room
Primary suite
1Motorized shades
Lutron shades that lower on their own when the sun hits the glass, close for privacy at sunset, and open slowly in the morning so you wake up to daylight.
Motorized shades →2Bedside "Goodnight"
One keypad by the bed turns off every light in the house, locks the doors, sets the alarm and leaves a low path to the bathroom.
Lighting control →Upstairs hall
3Climate control
Every zone on a schedule that matches how you live, adjustable from a keypad, the app or your voice. It eases off when you're away and is comfortable before you're home.
One-app control →Office
4Voice control
"Turn on the office lights and play some jazz." Voice control that runs the whole house, not just a speaker, built into the same system as everything else.
Voice control →5Wired for video calls
A hardwired connection at the desk and a Wi-Fi access point in the room, so calls don't freeze when the kids are streaming downstairs.
Wi-Fi & network →Kids' room
6Kid-friendly controls
Simple keypads they can use, Wi-Fi that turns off at bedtime on their devices, and an intercom that calls them to dinner.
Wi-Fi & network →Entry
7Smart locks
Lock every door from your phone or one keypad, get a note when a door is left unlocked, and give a temporary code to the housekeeper or a guest.
Security →8Monitored alarm
Sensors on doors and windows and motion inside, monitored around the clock, and tied to the lights so the house reacts when something happens.
Alarm.com security →Kitchen
9Whole-home music
Any song in any room from your phone, through speakers that disappear into the ceiling. Kitchen and family room together for dinner, the office on its own.
Whole-home music →10One app, one touchscreen
Control4 or Savant brings lighting, music, shades, climate, cameras and the gate into one app and one wall touchscreen, so nobody has to learn ten different apps.
One-app control →11Lighting scenes
Lutron lighting with scenes for cooking, dinner and late night, set by one button. Lights fade instead of snapping on, and keypads look like they belong in the house.
Lighting control →Great room
12Video wall
A wall-sized screen for the game, the movie or art when nothing is on, with sound coming from speakers you never see.
Video walls →Pool deck
13Outdoor audio & lighting
Weatherproof speakers around the pool and landscape lighting on the same scenes as the house. "Entertain" turns on the patio, the pool and the music together.
Outdoor audio →Driveway
14Gate & intercom
See and talk to whoever is at the gate from anywhere, open it from your phone, and let deliveries in without leaving your desk.
Gates & entry →Exterior
15Security cameras
Cameras covering every approach, placed so they blend into the architecture, with clear video on your phone from anywhere.
Security cameras →Garage
16Equipment rack & network
The brains of the house in one ventilated rack: enterprise-grade networking, the control system, power protection and room to grow, planned before the walls go up.
Wi-Fi & network →Theater
17Dedicated theater
"Watch a movie" dims the lights, closes the shades and starts the projector and surround sound. Pause it and the lights come up just enough.
Home theater →Listening room
18Listening room
A room tuned for music: serious speakers, room acoustics and a system built for listening, not just background sound.
Home theater & audio →Gym
19Gym with TV & music
Your workout playlist and the game on the screen, started from one button so you can just get on the treadmill.
Whole-home music →Questions we hear
What is a smart home, really?
A home where the lighting, shades, music, TVs, climate, security and network work as one system, run from a keypad, a touchscreen, an app or your voice. Done well, it feels simpler than a regular house, not more complicated.
Do I need all of this?
No. Most homes start with a solid network, lighting control and a few rooms of music, then add theater, shades or outdoor audio. We design it so it's easy to add to later.
When should technology be planned on a new build?
During design, before framing. Equipment rooms, keypad locations, shade pockets and speaker positions are far easier and cheaper to get right on the plans than to add after drywall.
Which systems do you install?
We are an authorized Control4, Savant and Lutron dealer and a CEDIA member, and we have been doing this in Los Angeles for 20 years.
