Home Automation
Overview
Imagine walking up to your door and the door unlocking based on facial recognition. Then lighting your path to the kitchen, adjusting the home temperature and turning on your favorite music without having to turn anything on. You no longer have to imagine, call us today and see how we bring technology to life.
We integrate a wide variety of smart home technologies for easy control and monitoring using a single interface. You get that same interface on mobile devices, computers, wall touchpanels and your TV remote. Where required, we are happy to work with your existing tradespeople or recommend our own to get the subsystems in your home working together.
-
• Lights
- Centrally controlled lighting lets you create the perfect settings for your home while saving on energy costs. With the touch of a single button, you can select scenes for different scenarios, such as “reading,” “cocktail party,” or “movie viewing.” Imagine hosting a dinner and pressing one button to set all lights (and window coverings) both inside and out. Yes – it’s that simple. Lighting also creates a more secure home. As you approach your driveway, exterior flood lights automatically turn on, lighting the pathway from your garage to your home. Should you hear a strange sound in the middle of the night, with the push of a single button you can turn on all the lights in and around your home. When you leave for vacation, you press one button so that the lights turn on and off during pre-set times to create a lived-in look. And you can check settings and make adjustments from your mobile device from anywhere in the world.

• Climate
- AV Specialists knows how important your heating and air-conditioning are to the overall comfort of your home. Our climate control systems make it easy for you to set the perfect temperature of your home regardless of the season or other conditions. Create a comfortable environment by making adjustments from the same touch screen you use to control your lights, shades, and home entertainment system. You can also monitor and control your thermostats from a mobile device. Ever wonder if you left your AC set too low when leaving on vacation? Heating and cooling your home is expensive – our climate control solutions save you energy with programmed settings and integration to your home automation system.

• Music
- One of the best-loved conveniences for your home is music on-demand that plays wherever you are. Music makes a house into a home. That’s what we do – we bring the pleasure of music at the touch of a button on your mobile device for all rooms, in and out, with the latest gear from the world’s best vendors. Our advanced audio systems deliver sound that fits a range of environments. You can have concealed sound for any room, at high levels of quality. Speakers can be hidden in walls and ceilings, indoors or out. That means no clutter, no special furniture, no carrying CD’s from room to room. The system is housed in a closet – each room merely needs a pair of visible or concealed speakers. Artist and album information can be displayed on a TV or your phone. The Beatles in the Bathroom? Oprah in the Kitchen? Yes!

• Media Room
- Sit in your cinema recliner, touch a button, and let the show begin. Select a movie or concert from your library. Our theaters can be concealed and tailored to any interior decor. Entertaining friends or family? Your Private Theater can easily convert to a Gaming system that makes for the most engaging video game experience imaginable. Our private theaters take into account your listening and viewing environment, available light, and the shape, size and acoustic nature of the room. Our background in professional video systems ensures you of the highest performance. Intellihome is also your source for theater interiors and build-outs. From theater seating and risers, to stages, drapes and lighting, we work with your designers to construct the themed theater of your dreams. No one knows video and sound like AV Specialists.

• Motorized Shades
- Expansive windows require motorized shades and drapes. Our motorized shading systems allow you to monitor and control the light and privacy of your home from a simple smartphone app or a touchpanel – whether you are home or away. We set our systems to allow morning light in and reset in the afternoon to protect furniture and art work from harsh sun, all the while minimizing energy usage from heating and cooling. Your window coverings can open and close at your command, according to a program, or the time of day and available sunlight – all of which reduces your carbon footprint.
We also interface with our Crestron controllable thermostats that gives you comprehensive light, heat and cooling control to make your home more comfortable and efficient. Our environmental systems integrate with our other controls allowing you to take command of all home systems, from security, to lighting, to entertainment. There’s no reason to waste energy when technology can do the thinking, and the legwork, for you. -
• Outdoor
- AV Specialists specializes in creating audio and video connected solutions for your outdoor spaces. Movie projector in the back yard? Outdoor sound that impresses, but doesn’t disturb your neighbors? Mood lighting scene around the BBQ grill? Frustrated that your Wi-fi cuts out when you’re at the pool? We can help. New England, let’s spend more time outside! We can help by bringing those same indoor novelties to your back yard or courtyard space. AV Specialists will design and install the system to meet your specific requirements and budget. Our systems are easy to use – team members will adjust selection and volume with pre-programmed settings to match your environment. We use professional-grade outdoor rated equipment to ensure years of trouble-free service in the harshest of conditions.

Access & Lighting
Overview
ACCESS: A smart lock is arguably the most important part of a truly connected home. Not only will it allow you to come and go as you please, it allows you to monitor who is entering and leaving your home while you’re away. Use your phone to open and close doors and assign privileges to friends, family members, or maintenance staff. Our Access Control systems include Garage Doors and Motorized Gates for a property-wide solution.
LIGHTING Smart, centralized lighting controls create the perfect setting for any occasion. With the touch of a single button, you can select entire scenes for different moods such as “reading,” “entertain,” or “vacation.” Imagine hosting a dinner and pressing one button to set all lights and window coverings both inside and out. And a single-gang keypad gives more control than a wall full of conventional switches.
