Personalized Sound Enhances Every Hour, Every Space

You wake up to your favorite track slowly filling the room: soft, clear, and precisely timed. 

There’s no fumbling with buttons or tapping a screen because your home simply knows how to start the day. As you walk into the bathroom, the same music continues without interruption, flowing effortlessly into the next space.

Whole-home audio systems create a rhythm for your life. They shape the atmosphere from morning to night, adjusting to your habits, mood, and movement. Experience a day in the life view of what it would be like to have high-performance speakers in every room, all connected for ease of use!

Upgrade Your Current Home Without Tearing Down Walls

You live in a beautiful older home, but you want smart home automation without having to rebuild from scratch.

Good news: you don't have to.

Retrofitting tech has come far enough that you can get serious functionality in your existing house without major construction headaches. The trick is knowing which systems work best with what you already have, and planning the whole thing properly from the start.

If you want the best results, bring in integration pros early—not after you’ve bought random smart switches on Amazon or after you’ve started pulling apart walls. When you have a smart home plan, you reap the full benefits of automation that feels like it belongs in your house from the get-go instead of awkwardly bolted on later.

This is what passes for window treatment in most homes. Luckily, Lutron motorized shades fix this problem. They move when you want them to move. Both sides, same speed, no drama. Push a button on your phone, tap a wall keypad, or let them run on schedule, and they just work! The motors are quiet enough that you won't notice them, too, which is the point of motorized shades.
