Bayway Isles, St. Petersburg.
Outdoor living, elevated.

In 2017 this Bayway Isles home gained a new family room and lanai, and the technology plan reached well past the addition. Working alongside the remodeling contractor, Hoppen wired the existing house too: music in fifteen rooms and the garage, 4K video from one rack to ten televisions, a new surround system in the family room, Wi-Fi that covers the house, lanai and pool deck, and the security system, video doorbell and garage doors folded into a single Control4 system.

A Control4 16-zone audio matrix and two 8-zone amplifiers feed twelve pairs of Triad in-ceiling speakers across fifteen rooms, with weather-rated speakers in the garage and TuneIn, Pandora and Deezer built into the system, so any room can play anything.

A Control4 Leaf 4K HDMI matrix in the media closet sends ten sources to ten televisions over HDBaseT. The cable boxes and players live in one rack; every room, the four guest bedrooms included, simply picks what to watch.

The Honeywell alarm, the DoorBird video doorbell, the front doorbell and three garage doors were integrated into Control4, so the same remotes, keypads and phone app that run the music also answer the door. A Luxul network with an outdoor access point on the new lanai carries it all, and the racks sit on conditioned, remotely switchable power with battery backup.
