Total Home Control Made Easy with RTI

It’s not enough to have cool technology. If it’s hard to use, human error will still find it’s way in and you’ll return to the tech-derived headaches that smart homes are designed to eliminate. Synchronizing all of your smart home technology into one, easy-to-control system is real game changer.

Living in a Smart Home can change your life. (And I don’t mean that in a cheesy, philosophical way – though I could contemplate the importance of investing in your home if you wanted me to. ) No, I mean it will change your life by way of convenience and efficiency.

As you know, we are in the business of automation – lights, locks, irrigation schedules, pool and spa systems, thermostats and more. When it comes to control however, integration is key. It’s not enough to have cool technology. If it’s hard to use, human error will still find it’s way in and you’ll return to the tech-derived headaches that smart homes are designed to eliminate. Synchronizing all of your smart home technology into one, easy-to-control system is real game changer.

We do this using an app based system designed by RTI: Custom Home Automation. Within the app, you receive real-time feedback about your whole home. You can control by room or piece of equipment – say living room versus house-wide music levels. Beyond control lies scheduling, where we program the lights, locks, water heater, thermostat, etc. to energy efficient timers to reduce your carbon footprint, save money on utilities on welcome you home in style. Forgot to leave a key for your dog sitter? Confirm it’s them on the smart doorbell or security cameras, unlock the door remotely and turn on the lights while you’re at it. The possibilities are endless.

If the first thing that comes to mind when you imagine this level of control is “Awesome!”, the second is probably “But wait, that’s kind of scary.” And that’s a totally valid concern. We’ve all seen the news stories about smart homes getting hacked. Rest assured, Smarter Homes is different. Here’s how: those hackable homes were left vulnerable through their wireless networks but we’ve built a home technology system that is completely un-hackable. You and only you have access to your Wi-Fi and devices. That’s because we create a you a private, personal network in which you own all the equipment involved.

Controlling your home is done through your personal device and private Wi-Fi network. But if you prefer to use a classic remote controller, have no fear! RTI also creates Smart Remotes that work incredibly well for commanding your homes technology.

No matter your style or level of custom features, being in total control over your home through a safe, secure, easy-to-use system will revolutionize what it means to be a homeowner. Eliminate human error, save energy, become the ultimate entertainer and embrace ease with a fully integrated smart home today.

CREATE YOUR SMART HOME BUDGET

*The calculated home technology budget range you will receive will includes parts, labor & accessories (Tax not included)
(a round number is OK)
Numerous structures on the property: Dock, Casita, Guest House, Barn, Gate etc. Check all that apply.
Prewire installation calculations assume you would like your home fully wired for ALL home automation technologies shown throughout the budget calculator, including 'future-ready' wiring. Prewire pricing can vary substantially based on what features you would like in your home. The wiring budget is for low-voltage wiring, not for electrical.
Prewire pricing will vary based on exactly what features you would like in your home. Read this article about the importance of wiring/cabling in today's "wireless" world. Your local Smarter Homes integrator is the best resource for exact prewire pricing. Wiring budget is for low-voltage wiring only, not electrical.
Keep in mind that our modern lifestyle and our home's automation technology systems are extremely reliant on a quality network and Wi-Fi system. Most homes are moving towards enterprise-grade hardware and away from the types of network products you could buy in an office supply store or a consumer computer store. We recommend that all homeowners consider the network and Wi-Fi system to be the most important system and installation within the home.
Higher-quality sound or higher-grade architectural finished speakers can range from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 PER ROOM
Basic background music system pricing ranges from $1,500.00 to $5,000.00 per room including all equipment, labor, and programming.
Range includes video sources such as AppleTV, a Blu-ray player, satellite receiver, and remotely-locating them for best aesthetics. A basic soundbar is included for better audio.
This is called “video distribution” and reduces the amount of audio/video equipment located at each TV location/room.
A surround sound system creates an immersive sound experience, much like a dedicated home theater room, though in a dual-purpose room such as a Family Room, Master Bedroom, etc. If you would like more than one surround system location, click on the "Add Another Surround System" button below
Typically, homeowners want to see the following areas: front of house, front door, driveway / gate, sides of house, and pool. If you are more concerned about security, you may want to add cameras for the perimeter of your property. Good-quality cameras see about 75 feet of distance on average. The high range of the budget estimate includes higher resolution cameras, better night vision, and longer surveillance recording time.
The installation of a lighting control system reduces wall clutter, allows preset lighting scenes at the push of a button, increases security through programming automation, and adds convenience.
Motorized shades add beauty, convenience, address privacy concerns, and can be used to save energy. If desired, provide your best guess on how many windows/shades you want to motorize. The higher-end of the budget range includes higher-end fabrics, large windows, and dual-roller shades (both sheer and privacy shades on one window).
For example, a house music app, an app to operate your TV, an app for lighting automation, an app for locks, an app for cameras, an app to open close garage doors & gates, etc. Or do you want to control the entire house through a single unified app that controls all the automation systems within the home?
Make your home feel larger by balancing the light between indoor and outdoor areas.
