Extreme Technology Made Simple

Some smart homes contain 200 or more connected devices. These devices not only communicate with the home automation platform, but they also communicate with each other. The temperature rises in a room, the shades lower, and the lights brighten. 

This potential sequence of events occurs in all your systems, requiring extensive programming and deep knowledge of how devices work together, which ones are compatible, communication protocols, and the workings of an enterprise-grade home network, an essential ingredient in today's smart home. 

Partnerships Developed Over the Years

At Eighteen Group, we partner with the industry leaders in automation, audio, video, lighting, and security. These partnerships have developed over the course of decades as our team worked with manufacturers to explore best practices for integration, deployment, and design. 

As a homeowner, you enjoy the benefits of our subtle work. Press a button, and the lights transform to sage, seafoam green, and aqua. Your 'Tropical' playlist streams through your home and outdoor areas in breathtaking clarity via in-ceiling and satellite speakers. The tiki torches ignite, the shades open, and the doors unlock to invite your guests in. 

It's the unseen partnerships and programming expertise that make this possible.

Enhancing Your Home's Beauty

One of the most important aspects of smart home integration is ensuring systems that are easy to use yet hide from view. Today's homeowners may want the best entertainment in every room and technology that's effortless to control, but they don't want to see the extensive equipment, wiring, and connections that make it possible.

To that end, our team uses lifts, distributed AV systems, and other forms of hidden technology to conceal equipment. Large displays may hide behind paintings or in furniture. Speakers disappear into walls. And all your AV equipment is placed on a custom rack in a closet, from which we distribute audio and video signals to speakers and TVs.
