As longtime Savant and Lutron dealers specializing in luxury smart home automation, we’re often asked if homeowners can integrate smart technology after their home is complete. We’re always happy to inform them that, with the latest advancements in the smart home industry, retrofit projects have become commonplace. Effortless control of your home’s systems and a luxurious lifestyle are possible!

Let’s explore the many facets of a retrofit project and a few features our clients in Greenwich, CT, particularly enjoy.

When you walk into a home, what’s the first thing that catches your eye? For some, it’s the furnishings and fine art. For others, it’s the flooring and the architectural design. But, for everyone, it's the lighting—the sunlight filtering through the windows and the light that illuminates a home. After all, without light, all the other beautiful elements would be indistinguishable. 

At Phoenix Audio Video, we specialize in creating beautiful spaces that enhance our clients' everyday lives while making them easy to manage under one-touch control. To accomplish this, we partner with industry leaders that remain on the cutting edge of the latest technology. In lighting and custom window treatments, those brands are Lutron and Hartmann & Forbes. Let’s explore what they offer homes in Fairfield County, CT.

Phoenix Audio Video was founded in 2004 with one mission: to share our passion with our clients, providing them with the latest integrated smart home automation systems that are easy to use and reliable while retaining or adding to their home’s aesthetics. Now, 18 years later, we’re happy to say we’ve lived by those standards and have continued to watch technological advancements once considered impossible. 

When Lutron acquired Ketra in 2018, the world's easiest-to-control exceptional lighting system was born. In 2021, another milestone was made when Josh.ai and Lutron joined forces to create a voice-integrated keypad solution. 

Let’s explore what this means in the world of voice-controlled light and how it’s transforming homes in Greenwich, CT. 

In addition to smart lighting, motorized shades are often our client's first introduction to the world of home automation. Imagine waking to whisper-quiet shades rising along with the first rays of the sun and lowering when evening descends, creating a sense of privacy. Or, when it’s time to watch a movie or head to bed, your blackout shades descend, creating the ultimate in darkness. This, and so much more, is possible with automated shades and lighting.

At Phoenix Audio Video, we specialize in integrating smart home automation that defines beauty and ease of living. To accomplish this, we partner with best-in-class brands that stay on the cutting-edge of smart technology. In the world of motorized shades, that brand is Lutron. They set the mark in 2017 when they came out with Lutron Palladiom shades. Then, in 2021, they raised the bar with a wire-free version. 

Let’s explore what these shades offer and why they’re so popular with homeowners in Westport, CT.

Let’s discover why people are talking about their new wire-free shading system and what it can do for your Greenwich, CT home.
