Clients of this award-winning Ft. Lauderdale Luxury Homes reached out to Premium Digital Control & Automation with the goal of merging their indoor-outdoor lifestyle with smart home technology. It integrates audio, video, lighting, shades, surveillance, video doorbells, pool infrastructure, fireplaces, and HVAC all into a comprehensive control system, giving owners complete control over everything throughout their property. I meant it.
The problem lies with the property's limited infrastructure, which required new cables to be run from the second floor of the house to the first floor and up to the outdoor area where the owner's yacht is moored.
“This meant we had to get creative based on how the shades were integrated and controlled seamlessly with the main control system,” said Randy Toth, president of Premium Digital Control & Automation. says Mr.
“While we were able to wire the shades upstairs and in the master suite, we had to use a wireless solution on the first floor due to limited infrastructure.”
The company worked with Lutron Sivoia QS Triathlon Roller Shades, QS Wireless Roller Shades, and QS Wireless Curtainry Tracks to provide an automatic lighting and shading system that works with the whole-home WAC Lighting smart lighting system.
These integrations also allowed us to design the master suite as a full theater room while retaining the cozy feel of the bedroom when not in use.
Within the Control4 automation system, multi-room audio with 12 audio zones and 7 video zones delivers music throughout your home.
For security, the integrator installed a Control4 video doorbell and DoorBird access control system to work with the new automated car gate to receive push notifications. The system sends a notification to the user's phone when the door station's motion sensor is activated.
The owner also provided an extensive list of custom scenes for the home that can be achieved with Premium Digital Control & Automation, allowing you to interact with your home automation system as you move through your indoor and outdoor spaces.
