Smart Home / Home Automation

Systems that connect lighting, heating, security, and audio-visual equipment via a central controller, app, or voice assistant. An extension is a natural opportunity to incorporate smart wiring (CAT6 data cabling, HDMI conduits), scene lighting controls, and a programmable zone of the heating system. Planning the infrastructure during construction is far cheaper than retrofitting.
