Coral Gables Residence

Five disconnected systems, replaced with one.

Lighting, climate, audio, security, and access — each installed separately over time — brought onto a single Control4 platform controlled from one app.

Project Overview

One app, replacing five.

This client came to AntonyTech already owning a home full of technology — the problem wasn’t a lack of systems, it was that none of them worked together. The brief was direct: everything should work together, controlled from one place, with a single tap.

Challenge

The home had every system it needed — just none of them speaking to each other.

01

System Fragmentation

Networking, security, audio, lighting, and climate were each installed separately, with no shared logic.

02

Operational Complexity

Day-to-day use meant a different app and interface for every system in the house.

03

No Single Point of Support

No one partner understood how the systems were supposed to work together.

A home full of systems installed over time by different vendors, none of them talking to each other. Day-to-day operation meant juggling separate apps and interfaces for basic tasks — the client wanted one app, one tap, everything working together.

The problem wasn’t a lack of technology.
It was a lack of coordination.

Solution

Replace five apps.
Build one platform.

Control4 installed as the home’s central platform, unifying Ubiquiti networking, security, and access control; Sonos multi-room audio; Lutron HomeWorks lighting; and AC/thermostat control into one consistent interface. AntonyTech has continued servicing and managing the property since — with the relationship expanding to cover the client’s business as well.

The Approach

Choose one platform.
Bring every system in.
Make it feel effortless.

Rather than adding another app, AntonyTech centered the entire home around a single Control4 interface the whole family could actually use.

AC & thermostat on the same platform

Integrated into one experience — instead of a collection of separate apps and controls.

The Result

One interface. Multiple systems.
A home that simply works.

Result

A home that finally works the way it should have from the start.

What began as a request to unify five disconnected systems became a single Control4 platform the whole family actually uses. Lighting, audio, climate, security and access now operate from one interface instead of five.

AntonyTech continues to manage the property today — and the relationship has since expanded to include the client’s business as well.

01 — Simplicity

One interface, not five.

Every system now runs from a single Control4 app instead of five separate ones.

02 — Unification

Systems that finally talk to each other.

Lighting, audio, climate, security and access work as one coordinated platform.

03 — Trust

A relationship that grew.

The client trusted AntonyTech enough to extend the same approach to their business.
