Hey all,
As my wife and I are about to begin on the "building a new home" journey, I need some help with some recommendations for whole home automation. It seems the more I've been reading, the more I feel really lost and realize how little I really know what's out there.
-We know we'll be wanting the lights to have an automated feature.
-We know that we want about 4 rooms or zones of audio in the house, but only really need the ability to stream 2 different independent sources of audio, not 4 sources of audio for each of the 4 rooms.
-We know our security will need to be tied to this
-We don't necessarily need our garages to be hooked into the system
-We don't necessarily need our in-ground sprinklers to be hooked into the system
-We know that we'll need it to control our home theater as well (projector w/ automatic anamorphic lens slide, lighting, different video components)
Any recommendations on companies/products to research? I've done some initial reading on Control4, Savant, Legrand but again feel pretty lost. Thx
