Your Home Should Know
What You Need—
Before You Ask
Five remotes. Four apps. One thermostat you've never quite figured out. Manhattan apartments deserve better. We design and install smart home systems that disappear into your life—so you control everything from one place, or nothing at all.
Not a Gadget Collection.
A Home That Runs Itself.
Most "smart home" installs are just devices crammed together—a Nest here, some Philips Hue bulbs there, three different apps that don't talk to each other. That's not smart. That's frustrating.
We build integrated systems using Control4—the professional-grade platform that ties your lighting, shades, thermostat, locks, audio, video, and security into a single, elegant interface. One remote. One app. Or just your voice. Everything works together the way it was designed to.

Six Systems That Transform
How You Live at Home
Each system is powerful on its own. Together, they create a home that feels effortlessly intelligent.
Wake up gently with sunrise lighting. Set the mood for dinner without touching a dimmer. Your lights respond to time, scene, and routine—automatically.
Lower all shades at sunset. Raise them at 7am. Create complete privacy or let in exactly the right amount of light—all from your phone or scheduled automatically.
Thermostats that know when you're home, when you're asleep, and when you like it cooler. Coordinated room by room so no one's too hot or too cold.
Smart locks, video doorbells, and security cameras unified into one view. See who's at the door, let them in remotely, and get alerts when you're away.
"Movie Night"—lights dim, shades lower, TV comes on, temperature drops two degrees. One tap controls every system in the room, working in concert.
Music follows you from room to room—or stays in one zone. Control your whole-home audio from the same app that controls your lights and locks.
The Platform That Actually
Makes It All Work Together
Consumer devices like Google Home and Amazon Echo are fine for individual gadgets. But when you want 12 systems to work as one—reliably, elegantly, without constant troubleshooting—you need a professional platform.
Control4 is installed exclusively by certified dealers like us. It's not available at Best Buy. It's what the homes in architectural magazines are running. And it's what we install when clients want their smart home to feel premium—not patchwork.
From "I Don't Know Where to Start"
to "I Can't Believe I Waited"
Three straightforward steps. No decisions you're not ready to make. No surprises on install day.
This Is Your One Window
to Get the Wiring Right
"Walls close up and you realize you never ran the wires. Now getting the install right means tearing apart what you just finished."
Smart home infrastructure—low-voltage wiring, in-wall speaker conduit, Lutron shade pockets, rack closet framing—all of it goes in before the drywall. After the walls close, you're looking at demolition to add it. Call us before your contractor finishes rough-in. It's the single most cost-effective thing you can do for your renovation.
Talk to Us Before You RenovateA Typical Tuesday Morning,
After We're Done
This isn't a demo. This is what our clients actually experience.
6:45 AM — Your Home Wakes Up With You
The shades rise slowly. The lights ease to 30%. The thermostat bumps up two degrees. Your playlist starts at a low volume. You didn't touch anything. Your "Good Morning" scene ran automatically at the time you set.
One Tap for Movie Night
Lights dim, shades drop, the TV powers on to your streaming service. The living room transforms in under three seconds.
You Left—Then Remembered
Is the door locked? Did you leave the lights on? Check from your phone in the cab. Lock the deadbolt and turn off every light—without going back upstairs.
Bedtime on Autopilot
Press "Goodnight" on your bedside remote. Every light in the apartment goes off, the door locks, the thermostat drops, and the blackout shades close. Done.
Guests Are Always Impressed
"Who did your tech?" They'll ask every time. You'll tell them proudly—because it looks as good as it works.
Lower Energy Bills
Lights off when rooms are empty. Climate adjusts when you leave. Shades manage heat gain. Automation pays for itself over time.
Manhattan Homeowners
on Their New Systems
"We were skeptical that a 'smart home' would actually be smarter—or just harder to use. Mark designed a Control4 system that genuinely simplified our lives. Our kids can use it, my parents can use it, and it all just works. Couldn't be happier."
"The renovation coordination alone was worth calling HTA first. Mark's team worked directly with our contractor to run all the infrastructure before the walls closed. Six months later, the install was seamless. No tearing anything apart."
