Home Automation Installation in Boca Raton & South Florida

For most South Florida homes we recommend a Lutron lighting and shade backbone, Sonos or architectural audio for music, and a professional-grade network underneath it all. Lutron is the most reliable lighting platform on the market and handles the heat, humidity and lightning conditions here better than budget alternatives. For whole-house control surfaces we use URC. The right answer depends on your home size and how much you want the house doing automatically, which is what the free assessment determines. Our platform comparison for Florida conditions works through the trade-offs in detail.

Entry systems (lighting control in main living areas plus audio and app control) typically start around $6,000 to $12,000 installed. Whole-home systems with lighting, shades, multi-zone audio, climate and security integration generally run $25,000 to $100,000+ depending on square footage and finish level. We scope in phases so you can start with lighting and network and add shades or audio later without rework.

Less on-site time than people expect, and more waiting than they expect. On a retrofit, the days our technicians are in the house are a small part of it. Most of the calendar is lead time on keypads, shades and engraving, which is why we order early and why the schedule is set once the design is signed off rather than guessed at the first visit. On a new build the work runs alongside construction: design while plans are being drawn, cable at rough-in, devices after paint, then programming and a tuning visit once you have moved in and know what is wrong with the scenes. Either way you get dates in writing before we start.

Yes. Wireless lighting control, retrofit shades and careful attic cable routing cover the large majority of what homeowners want. A few things are much harder after the fact: in-wall speaker locations, some shade pockets. We will be straight with you about which those are.

No. The first visit, the walk-through and the written system plan with fixed pricing are free for homes and small businesses in our service area. Large estates and multi-building commercial properties may carry a scoped assessment fee, credited against the project if you go ahead. You will know that before anything is booked.

The parts that matter, yes. We design so lighting scenes, keypads, shades and local camera recording all run on hardware in your house. Remote phone access and voice assistants need internet; the house itself does not.

Regularly. A large share of our work is taking over abandoned or half-finished systems. We start with a technology assessment, document what is actually installed, and give you a written plan to get it working, including the honest version of what should be replaced.
