Home Automation

Home automation is more than just products and technology. It’s a lifestyle inspired by your ideas that combines more comfort, convenience, safety and fun—throughout your entire home or just one room.

Home Automation and Integration

As more and more electronics continue to take over our everyday lives, we’re constantly forced to make decisions without entirely understanding which product or service is right for us. With so many different options and complicated formats, HST can provide reliable insight and simple solutions that will allow you to control virtually any electronic device in your home. Whether you’re building or just want to incorporate into an existing home, HST can help. With our affordable Control 4 (IP) based systems, you can also control everything from a computer, iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.

One Button Control – Simplicity at Its Finest

Within a single platform, an all-in-one remote, you can control everything. HST can develop a system that incorporates music, movies, cable and satellite TV, lighting, HVAC control, energy management, your security system and even locks on your front door. 

From Imagination to Custom Integration

Imagine, your friends arrive at your home for the big game. You are sitting in your favorite chair but you can see them walk up to the front door on your big screen TV. So without getting up from your iPad you disarm the alarms and unlock your front door as they approach. With the press of button the lights go on to safely guide them down to your media room where you’re waiting.

Through our customized programming using an elegant touch screen with your personalized requirements or from your personal iPad you’ll wonder how you ever functioned without smart home automation before.

Case Study: Retrofitting an Existing Home

During the installing of a Control 4 entertainment system, our client decided to revisit our design center for additional selections. Upon arriving, our lighting control display immediately captured their attention. After watching and participating in several demonstrations, they knew this was something they needed to incorporate in their home. With obvious hesitation, the client was astonished to learn that we wouldn’t have to rewire anything! We could simply install one of our light switches or keypads in any location where a light switch already existed. Since installing their system and the original (14) lighting locations, we have returned on three separate occasions to include more areas for their convenience.
