What we do

One system for the whole property.

Nine disciplines, designed to work as a single, effortless experience — for a private home or a place of business.

Control

You're in charge.

Lighting, climate, security, and entertainment on one app, one remote, or your voice.

Audio

Soundtrack your moment.

Hidden, built-in speakers and indoor/outdoor zones — from one room to thirty-six.

Video

See it in vivid clarity.

Ultra HD distribution and the right screen and streaming setup for how you watch.

Lighting

Make your life shine.

Intelligent lighting that shifts brightness, color, and warmth to flatter every room.

Networking

Coverage that keeps up.

From basic Wi-Fi to multi-AP mesh — designed and secured for the speed you pay for.

Surveillance

Another set of eyes.

AI cameras with facial recognition and license-plate capture — search your footage in plain words, like “man in a red shirt with sunglasses.”

Access Control

Someone's always home.

Smart locks, gates, and video doorbells — grant access to the right people, anytime.

Climate

Energy management is easy.

Remote comfort plus safety automations — freeze protection, fire response, and alerts.

Power

Storms happen. Be ready.

Battery backup for critical systems through whole-home backup when the grid fails.

Every budget

Big or small, done right.

Not every project is a whole-home system — and we're glad to do the simple ones. A TV mounted clean and level, a soundbar that genuinely sounds good, a video doorbell that works every time. Years of doing this means we know which affordable products play well together, so you get something reliable and tidy without overspending. The simple stuff, done better than anyone.

Expertise

Programmers, not just installers.

There's a real difference between mounting equipment and engineering a system. We do the second — and when a Control4 system needs to do something off-the-shelf can't, we write the software to make it happen.

Certified Control4 Programmers

Both co-founders are certified to program Control4 — the deep configuration most shops outsource, we do in house.

Control4 in Houston →

Already on Crestron?

We keep the Crestron hardware in your walls and make it work inside Control4 — no rewire, no opening finished walls.

Crestron → Control4 →

Custom Software on Staff

A software engineer in house means custom Control4 software, built around exactly how you live or work.

Networking Built to Hold Up

Coverage designed around your building, not guessed at — on professional UniFi hardware.

Wi-Fi that just works →

Legacy Systems Rescued

LiteTouch and HAI are discontinued — no parts, no support. We replace them using the wiring already in your walls.

LiteTouch →   HAI →

Builders & New Construction

Planned in at framing, before the drywall — nothing exposed, nothing an afterthought.

For builders →

Proof of depth

The same programming depth built the interactive tour of the Apollo Mission Control room at NASA's Johnson Space Center.

Residential & commercial lighting

Let us shed some light on your project.

Even if you never touch the smart-home side of things, lighting belongs in every home — it's the detail that quietly sets a space above the rest. Layered, well-placed light makes your finishes richer, your art sing, and your evenings warmer. The simplest upgrade with the biggest payoff.

We design indoors with Lutron and Vantage, replace discontinued LiteTouch and HAI systems using the wiring already in your walls, and light the grounds after dark with FX Luminaire.

How it works

From first conversation to lasting support.

01

Consult

We learn the space and how you live or work in it.

02

Design

A clear plan and proposal — equipment, layout, budget.

03

Install

Clean, precise work by our own team, finished to last.

04

Support

We're a call away for tuning, service, and upgrades.

For builders & new construction

Let's talk before the drywall.

The best systems start at the framing stage. We collaborate with custom-home builders and their trades to pre-wire and plan technology into the home from the start — so nothing is an afterthought and nothing is exposed.

My installation and security cameras were set up to be user friendly, with a good comfort level. Thanks Wes.

I fought with Wi-Fi in my house for years. I tried every product at Best Buy — I wish I'd found you sooner. Customer for life.

We had a mess from another company. They came in and made it right — quick and professional the whole way through.

Before & after · a real job

From “shut the door” to “show it off.”

This is a real install another company left behind — dusty, tangled, and crammed in to be forgotten. Here's how we found it, and how we left it. We took it from zero to hero, and when we finished the homeowner didn't want to close the cabinet — they wanted to show it off. If you got stuck with a mess like this, we have the answer for a bad install.

Before · how we found it A tangled, dusty AV and network install left behind by another company
After · how we left it The same system rebuilt clean and organized by Elegant Automation
Cramped equipment and loose cabling, before Dust-covered cable tangle, before Unmanaged network switches and cabling, before Yes — this was all one job. It happens more than you'd think.

Common questions

Answers, before you ask.

The things people ask us most. If yours isn't here, call or text (713) 955-5908 — we're happy to talk it through.

Do you service my area?

We serve Greater Houston and the surrounding communities — from River Oaks, Memorial, and Bellaire to The Woodlands, Katy, Sugar Land, Spring, Kingwood, and out to Conroe and Galveston. If you're anywhere near Houston, there's a good chance we've got you. Just ask.

What brands do you work with?

The ones that earn it. For control and lighting: Control4, Lutron, Vantage, and Crestron. Audio and video: Sonos, Denon, Marantz, Yamaha, Focal, Episode, Sony, and Samsung. Networking: Ubiquiti and Araknis. Security and power: iC Realtime, DSC, and WattBox. We spec what fits your home and your budget — not whatever we're trying to move.

Do you do small jobs, or just whole-home systems?

Both — and we're proud of the small ones. Mount a TV clean and level, set up a soundbar that actually sounds good, fix the Wi-Fi that's been driving you crazy, add a video doorbell. We've spent years learning which affordable gear plays well together, so even a simple job comes out reliable and tidy. No project's too small.

Networking & Wi-Fi →

Can you fix or replace a LiteTouch system?

Yes — it's a specialty of ours. LiteTouch was discontinued in 2015, so there are no new parts and no support; a failing system needs replacing, not repairing. We've done dozens, upgrading to modern Vantage, Control4, or Lutron control — usually reusing your existing wiring and working room by room, so you're never left in the dark.

LiteTouch replacement in Houston →   HAI replacement →

Do you work with home builders?

Absolutely, and the earlier the better. The best systems get planned in at the framing stage, before the drywall goes up. We work with custom-home builders and their trades to pre-wire and design technology into the home from the start — nothing exposed, nothing an afterthought. We're a proud GHBA member.

How we work with builders →

Do you charge for service calls?

Yes — there's a standard service-call fee to come out and diagnose an existing system, and it's applied fairly toward the work if you move forward with the repair or upgrade. New-project consultations, on the other hand, are always free. We'll be upfront about the fee when you call, so there are no surprises.

Are you insured?

Yes — we carry insurance for both residential and commercial work, and we're glad to provide a written certificate of insurance on request. Just ask when we talk.

How do I get started, and what does it cost?

It starts with a free consultation. We learn your space and how you live in it, then put together a clear design and proposal — equipment, layout, and budget, no surprises. Every home is different, so we quote each project individually rather than posting one-size-fits-all pricing. Call or text (713) 955-5908, or send a note through the site.
