Home automation for Scottsdale's finest homes

Built for how Scottsdale homes are actually built

Scottsdale architecture has a signature: walls of glass facing the McDowells, indoor-outdoor living, deep patios, and desert light that changes by the hour. That is exactly the house automation was made for. Motorized shades track the western sun across those glass walls — comfort and furnishings protected without anyone touching a switch. Lighting scenes carry the great room from bright afternoon into a warm evening. Music follows dinner out to the patio.

One system runs it all — lighting, shades, whole-home audio, video, climate, security, and the casita — from one interface the whole family understands. We design, install, and program it as a licensed Arizona integrator (AZ ROC #332501), with our own programmers rather than subcontractors.

From McCormick Ranch to Silverleaf

Our Scottsdale work concentrates where the Valley’s custom homes are: DC Ranch, Silverleaf, Troon, and Desert Mountain in North Scottsdale; McCormick Ranch, Gainey Ranch, and Kierland closer in. Many projects arrive through the builders, architects, and interior designers shaping those neighborhoods — we join at the plan stage, put lighting and control drawings into the construction set, and phase the work from pre-wire through final walkthrough.

Remodeling or automating a finished home instead? Wireless platforms — Lutron RadioRA 3 for lighting, Crestron and Control4 for control — retrofit cleanly without opening walls. Dimmers replace existing switches; shades install without construction.

Crestron, Control4, or Lutron for a Scottsdale home?

We’re an authorized dealer for all three, so the recommendation follows your home rather than a quota. In practice: large North Scottsdale estates and fully custom builds lean Crestron; most luxury homes are beautifully served by Control4; and Lutron runs the lighting and shading layer inside nearly every project we do. The full comparison — capabilities, interfaces, and investment tiers — lives on our smart home automation guide.

What does home automation cost in Scottsdale?

The honest anchors: single-room packages start around $5,000; most whole-home projects fall between $30,000 and $150,000+ depending on size and scope; and fully custom Crestron estates run $75,000–$250,000+. Scottsdale’s larger glass and window counts tend to shift budgets toward shading — usually the best-loved line item once summer arrives.

We talk budget openly in the first consultation, then issue a fixed, line-item proposal — equipment, programming, and labor — before any work begins.
