Comfort & Control · Home Automation & Climate

Smart home automation, programmed around your lifestyle.

You press one button and the room settles: lights, shades, temperature, music, arranged the way you like it. We're a Lutron, Control4 and Josh.ai dealer in Columbus and Raleigh, and we program the system around the way you live, not to a template.

What we design

Approachable control and home automation that settle the house before you ask.

The thermostat, the shades, the lights, and the locks stop being separate things. They become one system that knows the time, the season, and the room, and quietly keeps the house exactly how you like it.

What changes

Four things you stop doing.

01

Touching light switches

Lights are on when you walk in and off behind you. Shades drop ahead of the afternoon sun, and the exterior comes up against real sunset.

02

Walking the house at night

One goodnight from the keypad by the bed or the phone on the nightstand: the doors lock, the lights fall, the alarm sets.

03

Being the family's tech support

Your guests and your parents can run any room without a lesson. The first press does the right thing, and the plain switch still works.

04

Waiting on a truck

When you want a button to mean something new, you call, and the person who answers knows your house.

What we control

Everything, on one system.

Climate

Thermostats, zones, and humidity tuned to the season and the room.

Lighting & shades

Scenes and motorized shades that follow the day automatically.

Scenes

Morning, away, movie, goodnight, the whole house in a single press.

Voice

Josh.ai and Control4 so the house responds to a word, not a menu.

Frequently asked

What does a Control4 dealer actually do?

Everything between the idea and the evening scene it works: design with your builder, wiring during rough-in, the programming, the training, and the years of support after. When something needs attention in year five, the people who built the system are still here. The certification means Control4 trained and tested us on all of it.

What works with Josh.ai voice control?

The things you'd ask for anyway: lights, shades, climate, music, the media room. One command can handle several devices at once. “Hey Josh, let's watch Top Gun” dims the lights, drops the shades, and starts the film. It works with natural language, so there's nothing to learn before you use it.

What's the best home automation system?

The one your family actually uses. That comes down to your goals and the programming. Many people don't need advanced automation and just want to control the lights, thermostat, and security system. Other people want keypads that work the same in every room, and training until everyone in the house can run it. We're certified on Control4, Josh.ai, and Alarm.com, and we help you choose the best approach for every home, after we've walked yours.

Can I run the whole house from one app?

Yes: one app for climate, lights, shades, music, cameras, and locks. You'll use it more than you expect, because smart home app fatigue is real. The keypad on the wall gives you tactile feedback at the point of use, and it's the blend of digital and physical that makes the best homes feel effortless.

Do you work on existing homes and older Control4 systems?

All the time. We do retrofits, remodels, panel swaps, and upgrades on systems someone else installed. Eric Weikart wrote: “We have a very old Control4 system and, instead of trying to sell us a new system, they fixed our issue in less than two hours.” If your house is already built, that's not a problem to apologize for. We'd be happy to help.

Getting started

Start with the plans, or the house you have

Building new? Send the drawings and we'll mark up every keypad and cable run before pricing a thing. Already living in the house? We work in finished homes every week, including Control4 systems we didn't install. Either way, the first look costs nothing, and the scenes get built around your day.
