FishHawk, Lithia.
Complete automation, with a dedicated theater.

Wired during construction of this FishHawk custom home in 2011, the system put a Control4 controller at every one of the nine televisions, music in sixteen zones indoors and out, a THX-certified projection theater in the bonus room, some sixty Control4 dimmers, switches and keypads, cameras, an alarm and the central vacuum on the same remotes, touchscreens and app. Hoppen has kept it current since: HD cameras and a mirror television in 2014, closet lighting in 2015.

Hoppen ran the low-voltage wiring during the build, then furnished the system room by room: Control4 controllers and SR-250 remotes at nine televisions, 7-inch touchscreens in the kitchen and living room and a 5-inch in the master bath, keypads in the garage and master bedroom, two thermostats, the fireplace, the central vacuum and the Honeywell alarm, all on one system.

In the bonus room a JVC DLA-RS60U THX 3D projector throws onto a 106-inch Draper Onyx screen. Triad InRoom Bronze LCRs and InWall Silver surrounds play through a Yamaha RX-A2000, with a Velodyne in-floor subwoofer on its own 1,250-watt amplifier, and Somfy drapery tracks on the windows close at the touch of the remote.

Two 16-channel Control4 amplifiers and a 16-zone matrix feed Niles ceiling speakers in twelve rooms plus the pool, hot tub and utility room. A Video Storm 16×16 matrix sends the Blu-ray player, the Mozaex movie server and the cable boxes to any television, and the leisure room has its own 65-inch plasma with 5.1 Niles in-ceiling surround and a Velodyne in-floor sub.

In 2014 the original cameras gave way to eleven 1080p Visualint IP cameras on a 16-channel recorder, with live views on every Control4 touchscreen and the theater seats wired for tactile bass, and a Séura mirror television went into the bath. In 2015 the bedroom closets gained LED strips that light the moment the door opens.
