Home Automation

Enjoy Smart Home Installation At Your Raleigh, NC Home

As kids watching movies and shows like The Jetsons, Star Trek, Blade Runner and others, one of the coolest things was to see how everything in the future was automated and capable of working with just a few simple voice commands. Like many things from those shows, much of this type of setup has remained science fiction - but no longer. We now live in the age of the smart home, where your lights, temperature, shades, and almost any other home function you can think of can be set up to control with your voice or with a few simple taps on an app. You can turn on your fireplace, set some mood lighting, and play some music for a romantic night in, or tell your thermostat to come down a few degrees to make things nice and cool for a long night's rest. The only real limit to what your home can do is your own imagination. When you set up home automation with Elite Sight & Sound, if you can think it up, we can make it happen.

What Is Home Automation & Why You'll Love It

Home automation is your house working for you instead of the other way around. It's walking through your front door and having the lights come on to just the right level, your favorite playlist starting in the background, and the temperature already perfect—all without touching a single switch. It's locking all the doors from your bed instead of walking around the house one more time because you can't remember if you locked the back door. It's checking in on the kids after school from work, or letting the dog sitter in without leaving a key under the mat. The best part? It's not complicated or overwhelming. Modern smart home systems are designed for real people living real lives, not just tech enthusiasts. Everything works through simple apps on your phone, voice commands you'd use naturally anyway, or even automated routines that happen without you thinking about them at all.

Everyday Moments That Become Effortless:

  • Monday Morning Rush: Your bedroom gradually brightens thirty minutes before your alarm, the coffee maker starts brewing downstairs, and the thermostat warms up the house—you wake up naturally instead of jarring awake to a blaring alarm in a cold, dark room.
  • Heading Out For The Day: Instead of walking around checking locks and adjusting thermostats, you press "Away" on your phone as you back out of the driveway—every door locks, lights turn off, temperature adjusts to save energy, and the security system arms itself automatically.
  • Coming Home After Work: Your garage door opens as you pull in the driveway, entry lights welcome you inside, and the house is already at your preferred temperature—no more arriving to a dark house or waiting for the AC to catch up on hot summer days.
  • Friday Movie Night: Say "movie time" and watch as the living room lights dim, the shades close, your streaming service loads on the TV, and the sound system powers up—no juggling multiple remotes or asking someone to get up and close the blinds halfway through.
  • Vacation Peace Of Mind: While you're relaxing on the beach, lights turn on and off in realistic patterns at home, you get notified when the package arrives, and you can check your cameras anytime—enjoy your trip without worrying what's happening back home.

What Can You Control & Automate?

The beauty of home automation is that you can start with what matters most to your family and add more capabilities over time. We design systems that integrate everything from basic lighting and temperature control to comprehensive whole-house automation that manages every aspect of your home environment.

  • Lighting Throughout Your Home: Control every light from your phone or with voice commands, create custom scenes for different activities and times of day, set schedules so lights turn on before you arrive home, and use motion sensors in hallways and closets for hands-free convenience that also saves energy.
  • Climate & Comfort Management: Smart thermostats learn your schedule and preferences while optimizing energy usage, with zone controls that keep bedrooms cooler at night and living areas comfortable during the day, plus ceiling fan integration and automated temperature adjustments based on whether anyone's home.
  • Complete Security Integration: Lock and unlock doors remotely, receive instant notifications when anyone enters or leaves, see who's at your doorbell from anywhere in the world, and integrate cameras and alarm systems into one easy-to-manage platform that provides real peace of mind.
  • Entertainment & Audio Systems: Stream music to any room or throughout the entire house, integrate with your home theater for seamless movie nights, control volume and sources from your phone, and create multi-room audio experiences perfect for entertaining or everyday enjoyment.
  • Motorized Window Treatments: Automated shades and blinds provide privacy and light control with scheduled operation that opens with sunrise and closes during hot afternoons, smartphone control from anywhere, and integration with lighting systems for complete ambiance management.
  • Garage & Entry Management: Open and close garage doors remotely, receive alerts if you left them open, grant temporary access codes to guests or service providers, and integrate with security systems for comprehensive entry monitoring and control.
