Company Overview

Smart home technology 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. You can check if your garage door is closed from anywhere and even close it with visual confirmation. Set multiple lights to a specific scene with a single press. Adjust your thermostats using your phone. Receive notifications for events. In short, we handle all wired systems from anywhere with internet connectivity.

No need for rewiring, no monthly fees, all accessible from your smartphone!

Our certifications include NEST PRO, RING PRO, along with SmartHome and more. Nest features energy-saving products, intelligent thermostats, cameras for indoors and outdoors, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Reach out for a $25 savings at Ring.com, just ask!

If you can't reach me, please leave a message - it's the best way for me to return your call.

Thanks for considering us, I know you have choices.

Don't forget to look at our ""not recommended"" reviews below; they are all genuine.

We operate under the name Total Control Home Automation. Yelp may occasionally change the name.

Yelp can occasionally take down my website link. Visit us at www.TotalControlHomeAutomation.com. Ballard Electric is a distinct company, and we often partner up. You can find my page on Ballard's site; just go to ""Ballard-Electric.com"" and tap [Home Automation].

You might have seen us at the Westlake Home Show at the Hyatt (we're not currently exhibiting). You can usually find free tickets on the website.

I wanted to add a few pendant lights in the kitchen, but there was no way to run a wire from the lights to the wall switch without damaging the wall. Remembering X-10 from three decades ago (and knowing it could be better), I looked for a remote switch option. Crestron, Lutron, and RadioRA are too costly. A few systems necessitate rewiring - just what I was hoping to avoid.

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, lower cost, and easier installation - what more could you ask for? And remember to call for a demo!

Originating from years of computer programming and automation, this business has naturally progressed to help you achieve your goals and create a truly smart home. Finding solutions to challenges is personally rewarding, and it’s even more fulfilling to help others enjoy the advantages of technology, often without them realizing what’s possible.

A memorable installation for me was for a client with quadriplegia. This client cannot even push a button on a phone or move a mouse. I utilized Insteon, Amazon Echo, and a bit of custom tech for the solution. Now, he has the ability to manage his lights, fan, thermostat, TV, audio system, and even raise and lower parts of his hospital bed!

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

I was so pleased with the quality of work that was done at our house! Andrew and Peggy were able to complete everything we asked at a better prices point than other quotes obtained.

They installed 5 recessed lights, installed two exterior plugs, swapped 4 new outlets, and installed a dimmer.

What stood out the most was the well thought out position of the lights rather than just installing. They looked at where potential shadows would come down, indirect light, and proper distance from each other.

I highly recommend using them for electrical work.

I have worked with Andrew for over 20 years, as needed. Recently he was the hero of a tech issue no one else could resolve. He is clear and transparent in his pricing, patient, extremely knowledgeable....having more solutions than one could even imagine. He brings all materials he may need to a job and sees it to completion. I highly recommend this business, especially if you've got an issue no one else can seem to figure out!

This company is amazing. Andrew and Peggy were referred to us by a good friend and they came to fix the issues that we were having with our credit card terminal. The terminal was not connecting to the internet modem but they figured it out and took care of it. They are one of the honest people we've ever met and we would love to work with them in the future. I highly recommend this excellent company to everyone!

Andrew and Peggy were competent and quickly installed our security cameras and instructed us on their use. We are please with the result and with Total Control Home Automation. Their prices are fair and I intend to use them again

I contacted Total Control Home Automation to get a quote for installing 2 lutron light switches and a dining room chandelier/hanging light. Andrew returned my call promptly, and was able to fit me into his schedule on the same day.
His quote was very competitive, and I was encouraged by his professionalism in understanding the job. It's not often you receive an estimate from a contractor that asks if it's fair to you.
He arrived on time, and paid attention to detail throughout the job. Even cleaning up with a hand held vacuum as he went.
One part of the job entailed a little more work than planned, and he was fair in our dealings.
I'd recommend contacting him before you purchase your hardware (switches and outlets, etc) because of his extensive knowledge.
Job well done!

This is an amazing product!!! So much better than my surveillance cameras I had previously!

★★☆☆☆

Andrew did a great job setting up our nest, however, he made us feel super uncomfortable when pressuring us to write him a lengthy review, over and over again. He kept telling us how neat he was and how he cleaned up after himself.. even though we think that should be done regardless...He literally would not leave until we confirmed that we would write one. It's really a shame because if he hadn't asked so many times for a review and pressured us to write something LENGTHY, I may have written one ON MY OWN. Instead, he left us feeling very uncomfortable.

Andrew was punctual, incredibly patient and very knowledgeable installing our Ring. He was immaculate and the very nicest work person my husband and I have encountered! He explained our further needs for securing our home and offered suggestions we plan to install at his next appointment. Having heard my panic about recently being burglarized he made an exception to his schedule and promptly made us top priority, which is greatly appreciated and we highly recommend Andrew for all home security concerns.

Andrew was recommended on Next Door so when I wanted to install the Ring Video Doorbell I gave him a call. We set up an appointment for the next day. Andrew is very knowledgeable and after installing it he went through the app with me and set everything up for me. He told me to call him if I had any problems or questions. The next time I want something installed, like Nest, I will be sure to give him a call.

Andrew is awesome!! He hooked up several cameras for me so I can see from my cell phone and computer. Very reputable!! I highly recommend him. I trust him and he knows what he is doing. Sometimes that's hard to find in one person with these skills now days.
