Synovate offers solutions across many disciplines of technology. While these feel like silos of technology, we bring them together into a harmonious system on every project. And, we are problem solvers, so if you have a unique need, feel free to explore those desires with us.
Control Systems are the glue in a residential technology system. By connecting to all the devices to the control system, we can get rid of all their remotes/apps and build a simple user experience that has continuity. We also remove or hide many of the obscure functions that we may use, but our customers will never touch them.
Our go to control systems include: Savant Technologies, Control4, RTI, and Lutron. All of them offer a user experiences on Apple/Android devices as well as their own dedicated keypads and touch panels. We will guide the decision for the best solution based on your goals and budget. Many times, the decision will be based on which solution has the best ecosystem for your needs.
Lighting Control Systems bring well designed lighting to life giving precise control of all the circuits with simple user experiences across smart devices, keypads, touch panels, and even voice commands. We work closely with the lighting designer and the homeowner to define great scenes, which can be easily changed by "normal people".
Our systems have astronomic clocks that know what time sunrise & sunset are at your house. This allows us to use intelligent schedules that delivers the correct lighting levels year round.
Windows provide great views for your home, yet there are many reasons to close the shades. A well designed home will have a large number of windows with window treatments that need control for light, privacy, or just to control the mood. Motorized window treatments are a must.
Our shading solutions are available in almost any design style with a wide variety of fabrics. With the proper planning, the motors can be integrated into the construction and disappear. All of our motors are whisper quiet and can be operated individually, as groups, and/or on schedules.
You will have control of your view and your privacy at the touch of a button.
Larger estates will have multiple zones of climate control that need to be managed. Our systems bring a simple user experience to your mobile device, browser, and wall mounted keypads.
Each zone can have multiple temperature sensors to average out the hot/cold spots, creating a better environment for the entire area. Smart schedules and occupancy sensors will help control the energy bill. Geofencing can set the home to "Away" mode , saving energy when no one is home and turning back on when you return.
If you have multiple properties, the system we recommend will be driven by compatibility with your other properties. From your mobile device, you can manage all your properties and your energy consumption.
We professional build dedicated equipment rooms that you never need to touch. Proper cable routing, labeling, and power management make the system run reliably.
As part of our design services, we will specify power and thermal requirements to the MEP on the team to make sure everything is covered. We will also specify some headroom in the system for future needs.
