30A Home Automation & Integration

Home Automation for the 30A Home

In the heart of Florida’s Emerald Coast, Innovative Sight & Sound – 30A offers tailored home automation for the region’s most sophisticated homes. Whether your property is in Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, Grayton, or Inlet Beach, we craft systems that respond to coastal living — from weather-adaptive lighting and climate systems to security and remote control for your vacation home.

Each 30A home comes with its own challenges: salt air, humidity, power surges, and hurricane exposure. Our local team designs with these in mind — embedding resilience, elegance, and intuitive control into every installation.

Our 30A Home Automation Solutions

Home automation is the art of connecting all your home’s systems — lighting, climate, audio, video, shading, and security — into one intuitive platform that makes daily living effortless. But along Florida’s Scenic 30A, home automation isn’t just about convenience — it’s about enhancing the coastal lifestyle.

At Innovative Sight & Sound – 30A, we design, install, and program automation systems that blend seamlessly into each home’s architecture. From modern beachfront retreats to traditional coastal cottages, we bring technology that complements your style and simplifies your life — with craftsmanship and reliability.

Simplicity is what smart home automation is all about.

Imagine arriving at your Rosemary Beach or Alys Beach home and, with one tap on your phone, the lights welcome you, the shades lower to block the afternoon sun, and your favorite playlist begins to play through hidden speakers

Innovative believes Control4 offers the best home automation systems on the market in terms of quality and reliability.

Functionality is the key component of any smart home automation system.

For 30A homeowners, automation means total control, whether you’re relaxing on the beach, managing a rental property from afar, or preparing for a Gulf Coast storm. Our systems are designed for coastal durability, intuitive operation, and energy efficiency — making your home as smart as it is beautiful.

Efficiency is what makes an automation system “smart”

30A Home Automation integrates all the independent systems in your house allowing for more efficient use of all the systems. And the best part is, we handle everything. There’s no longer a need to travel from room to room switching off individual lights and televisions.

Control4 Keypads feature customizable buttons that allow you to control more than just the lights—including music, movies, locks, thermostats, and even your garage door—with a simple press. Turn on or off multiple rooms, or your entire house, with one tap as you’re headed off to work or turning in for the night.

Elements of 30A HOME AUTOMATION

Custom Lighting Keypad Control4

Smart Automation

A true Smart Home is programmed to automatically and intuitively sync with your lifestyle.

For example, if your home faces the sun rise, a smart home will know to lower the motorized shades of the east facing windows and make sure the thermostat has the temperature at the desired level. If you leave in the evening, a simple button press on a keypad will lock the doors, arm the security system, turn on exterior lights, and make sure garage doors are closed.

Automation is about aligning the technology systems of your home to your lifestyle.

Charleston Smart Home Control4

Control Everything

A well-designed and implemented smart home system is nothing short of a digital concierge putting you in total control of nearly every aspect of your home.

We unify all systems under an intuitive control platform. One interface handles lighting, shades, audio, climate, and security — in your main home, guest house, and outdoors.

All of this technology comes together through Control4 automation, giving you intuitive control from touchscreens, remotes, or mobile apps. Scenes like “Goodnight” or “Away” simplify daily routines with a single button.

Audio Video

Tired of dealing with multiple remotes to control your home entertainment system or home theater?  We can integrate your audio video and home theater system into one simple-to-use remote or touchscreen device.  This makes watching your favorite movie or TV show as simple as the press of a single button.

Imagine easily listening to all of your favorite music from any room in your home. Apple Music, Spotify or your favorite podcast can be accessed from any remote, touchscreen, or smart device.

Enjoying your media has never been easier. It’s only the touch of a button away – simply select the rooms you want and the media you want, then you’re ready to go.

Lighting Control

Create ambient lighting that complements 30A’s soft sunsets and coastal interiors. Our systems let you cue “Night Mode,” “Entertain,” or “Sunset” scenes with one tap, whether inside your beach cottage or patio.

Motorized Window Coverings

Automated shading brings both style and convenience. Our solutions adjust automatically based on time of day or sunlight levels, helping regulate indoor temperatures while protecting furnishings. In Birmingham homes with large windows and expansive views, motorized shades combine privacy, efficiency, and beauty.

Drapes, shades, and blinds can also be used to enhance security and energy efficiency.  If you’re away on vacation, your system can be programmed to make it appear that someone is still at home, all while reducing the amount of sunlight entering the home, thereby lowering the ambient temperature.  Shades can also be used to protect valuable furniture and artwork from damaging rays of the sun.

Climate & Comfort Control

The battle of the thermostat can finally be won. Cozy up with climate control the entire family can agree on! Smart scheduling, voice control capabilities, even integrations with shades and fans. It’s your home, only more comfortable.

Humidity and salt can stress HVAC systems. We integrate zone control, dehumidification, and predictive schedules, so your home maintains both comfort and corrosion resistance even during off-season.

Since your entire home is accessible via your phone or tablet you can even control the temperature of your home while you are away.  Perhaps you left on vacation but forgot to turn down the air conditioning.  No problem, simply open your control app and set the system to vacation mode from wherever you are in the world.

Smart Home Control and Security

Security Integration

Coastal homes benefit from smart security: remote live view, door & window sensors, access control, and storm prep modes that lock-down or retract components automatically.

Our smart homes allow you to leverage your home’s security system to create even more peace of mind.  You can monitor your home from anywhere inside the house, or from anywhere in the world.  Need to disarm the system while you’re out of town to allow someone into the house?  No problem.  Simply hop on your smart phone or tablet and you can disarm the system in seconds.

Integrating your security system also allows you to control lighting functions based on alarm events such as a fire or intruder.  If your system detects either, it can turn on the lights, potentially scaring off a burglar, or giving you light quickly.

Voice Control

Voice Control has become a staple of everyday life. But the depth of that integration has been lacking…until now.

Innovative uses Josh.AI connects you with all the smart devices in your home. Using your voice, Josh can turn on and off your lights, change the temperature, play music, and more, whether you’re home or away. Josh is built to understand natural language and learn from you as time goes on.

Josh is also big on privacy and will never use client information for marketing purposes or sell user data to third parties. Unlike the mass-market voice assistants, Josh’s sole focus is on providing the best smart home experience possible.
