Our mission is to create intuitive, user-friendly systems, that allow our clients to enjoy life without the frustrations and complications of endless wires and electronic confusion. As a home builder or contractor, you know that creating a home is as much about the natural and designed lighting, sound and acoustics, and a sense of comfort and safety, as it is about the structural elements of the building.

We love supporting builders and contractors through the entire process from education, to problem-solving, and inspiration. To help support builders as they navigate the design process of their new smart home, we have created a 5-step design-build process:

• Discovery Process: This step is all about understanding our client’s lifestyle and goals. Before we begin work on your smart home, we want to ensure we are providing you with the best available solution within the confines of your budget, style, and potential future needs.
• System Design: We will create a project outline or design based on our discussion with you. The system design will include graphical designs that identify every location for hardware and pre-wire drops, the chosen hardware and parts for each room, and the labor that will be needed in order to achieve the desired end result.
• Engineering: Once the client has signed off on the system design our experienced team at Insight Automation International will begin to engineer the project. Meticulous detail is put into these plans to ensure that the system is reliable, easy to use, and simple to maintain and upgrade over time.
• Implementation Process: The initial phase will be installing the infrastructure, including low-voltage wiring and conduits. Insight AI will source all the necessary equipment and when complete we will update the engineering documents.
• Service and Support: No matter which location you're in, we're ready to assist you with technical support or system upgrades. All manufacturer warranties and a 12-month workmanship warranty come with our automation solutions, ensuring your investment in smart technology is protected.

Whether you prefer to rock out to Nirvana or fall asleep to the soundtrack of ocean waves, Insight AI’s multi-room music solution will provide you with world-class sound and functionality. Building a residence that has the functionality of a room-to-room sound system means never having to settle for the poor sound quality of a portable speaker ever again. When moving from room to room, your sound will follow you. Or if the kids are hanging out in one room and you’re in another, you can both enjoy the music you love. The simplicity of being able to adjust the volume of the music, or change a song from anywhere in the home, with the push of a single button, will simplify a homeowner’s life. Not to mention, homeowners can set pre-programmed scenes such as "Goodnight," "Away," and "Entertain," and have all of their home's settings adjust at once, saving you time and effort.

Building a Home with Indoor-Outdoor Lighting at the Forefront

Builders and contractors spend endless resources creating spaces that ensure stunning views, sun exposure, and seamless indoor-outdoor experiences. The opportunities to elevate this experience through effective light design are infinite. Whether you are looking to set the mood outside around your hot tub, spa, or jacuzzi, or increasing security through motion detecting lights around your property, effective light design is essential. Light design is more than just lighting though, it can also include window treatments and motorized shades. Shades can help you control your heating and air while conserving resources; trap out hot or cold air; and even serve as a security feature by helping create the appearance that someone’s home. When you are building a new home, it is essential to consider how natural lighting and indoor light will integrate and to examine every opportunity to create energy efficiencies.
