Company Overview

Home automation is as easy as using a 3-way switch to control lighting from either end of the corridor. You can manage your lighting from anywhere, automatically. Know your garage door status from anywhere and close it with a visual check. Change several lights to a scene with one button press. Control your thermostats directly from your smartphone. Stay informed with event notifications. In short, we handle all wired systems from anywhere with internet connectivity.

No need for new wiring, no subscription costs, all controllable from your smartphone!

We hold certifications as NEST PRO, RING PRO, and collaborate with SmartHome and others. Nest offers excellent energy-saving solutions, learning thermostats, indoor and outdoor cameras, and smoke and CO detectors.

We operate under the name Total Control Home Automation. Yelp sometimes alters the name automatically.

Yelp may also remove my website link. Visit us at www.TotalControlHomeAutomation.com. Ballard Electric operates independently, yet we frequently work together. Ballard has a page for us; visit ""Ballard-Electric.com"" and select [Home Automation].

You may have noticed us at the Westlake Home Show at the Hyatt (we're not showcasing right now). Free tickets are often available on the website.

I aimed to install pendant lights in the kitchen, but running a wire from the lights to the switch would cause wall damage. Recalling X-10 from about 30 years ago (and knowing it had room for improvement), I searched for a remote switch solution. Crestron, Lutron, and RadioRA come with high price tags. Certain systems need rewiring - precisely what I wanted to bypass.

To make a long story short, I found the ideal product, at a fair price, with excellent performance. I’ll tell you all about it and show you with a complimentary demo at your place. More features, reduced costs, and straightforward installation - what else could you desire? And of course, be sure to call for a demo!

Emerging from a background in computer programming and automation, this business has developed to support you in obtaining what you want and crafting a truly smart home. Addressing challenges is satisfying, and it’s even more rewarding to enable others to enjoy the perks of technology, frequently without them being aware of the possibilities.

One of my most rewarding installations was for a quadriplegic individual. This client cannot push a button on a phone or operate a mouse. My approach included Insteon, Amazon Echo, and some tailored technology. Now, he can operate his lights, fan, thermostat, TV, audio system, and even adjust sections of his hospital bed!

What can I do to make your life better? And of course, all without any rewiring or dust from plaster.

We recently painted our entire house and removed some defunct '80s intercom panels, including one whose only remaining function was the doorbell. Before our contractors patched things up I looked at the old intercom wires that were sticking out and thought I had picked the correct ones to leave exposed for my new Nest Hello video doorbell. Well, my contractors tucked the other wires into the wall and covered everything up, and to my dismay when I went to install the Nest Hello, I wasn't getting any power to the doorbell! After some troubleshooting I frustratedly sought help from a Nest Pro, and came upon Andrew and Total Control Home Automation on Yelp.

I sent Andrew a message on a Saturday asking for urgent help and he was able to come on Monday. He confirmed my suspicion that I had buried the wrong wires and, without charging me for that visit, rescheduled for a couple days later so I could have my contractor come out and bust open my wall again. Andrew returned and got everything set up for me within an hour or two. He even relocated the doorbell a foot or so further from our door so we could have a better angle of the street -- making minimal damage to the stucco while doing so! My contractor was so impressed with how clean Andrew was in his work that they didn't charge me extra to patch and paint things back up!

Andrew stuck around to make sure everything was working fine and even followed up with me later to check that things were still good.

I have thoughts for other home automation projects down the road that I will definitely be checking in with Andrew for. He's super friendly, responsive, smart, and resourceful. Two thumbs up!

I finally installed a customized 7-name call light notification system for my 7-office suite. The system looks sleek and beautiful. It was professionally installed. The office looks more modern with this well designed call light notification system.

I highly recommend Andrew for all of your home automations. He was on time wearing his mask. I had told him that I needed a new thermostat and he was able to fit me in on the same day I called. Andrew installed a Nest thermostat and took the time to show us how it works. He also showed me how to install the app for my iPhone and I-watch. He also showed me a few things on my watch that I could not figure out. His prices were very reasonable. I have already got him lined up for a Nest doorbell. Very professional!!

I had an excellent experience working with Andrew from Total Control Home Automation. We had an issue with our Nest Thermostat E and he was able to patiently walk me through the solution via Facetime. I'd have absolutely no hesitation in hiring him again.

Thank you, Andrew!

Andrew resolved my internet issues without me needing to purchase any additional equipment, which speaks to his desire to get the job done. Thanks again Andrew!

These guys are nothing less then rockstars. I emailed them for a quote to automate my blinds as no one else could help me. For my specific case they couldn't do it, but they took the time to research how I could do the project and find some someone who could do the job and made the introduction. It is very rare in today's world someone would be so nice. I'm a home automation geek and will definitely be using them on my next project.
