Smart Home Integration in Rye
In Rye, the Sound is part of the house. We build systems that respect the view and stand up to the weather that comes with it.
Rye runs from a walkable downtown to the water at Milton Point and Greenhaven, with shingle-style and colonial houses, newer builds and a few grand estates in between. Close to the water the work changes: salt air corrodes ordinary outdoor equipment, storms test everything, and the best rooms face glare off the water for much of the day.
We plan for all of it. Outdoor speakers and lighting are specified for coastal exposure. Shading follows the sun, so the view stays and the glare goes. Equipment is placed above flood level, with power protection that keeps the house running through a storm.
Away from the water, Rye's houses ask for what most Westchester homes do: strong Wi-Fi, music through the house, a room for film, and lighting that makes the evening calmer.
Architecture
Shingle, colonial and the waterfront
Shingle-style and colonial houses near the water, Tudors and newer builds inland. On the waterfront the architecture turns toward the view, with wide glass that has to be shaded without being hidden.
Lifestyle
Lived outside
Summer here is lived on the terrace and the lawn. Music that carries outside, lighting for long evenings and screens that hold up in daylight matter as much as the rooms indoors.
What Rye asks for

Questions
Rye, answered.
- Who installs home automation and AV in Rye, NY?
- Elevated Integration designs and installs Savant control, lighting and shading, whole-home and outdoor audio, home theater and networking for homes in Rye, Rye Brook and Harrison, from our office in Armonk. We have worked in Westchester since 2012.
- Will outdoor speakers survive near the water?
- Ordinary outdoor speakers can corrode quickly near salt water. We specify speakers, fixtures and hardware built for coastal exposure, including Coastal Source, where we are a certified installer, and mount and seal them for it.
- How do you deal with glare off the water?
- With motorized shading set to the sun's position for each window. Shades lower as the sun moves across the glass and rise when it passes, so rooms stay comfortable and the view comes back.
- What about storms and flooding?
- We place equipment above flood level where the house allows, protect it with surge suppression and battery backup, and design generator or battery systems so the essentials keep running. On a care plan we monitor the system remotely and can see trouble as it starts.
- Do you work in Harrison, Purchase and the rest of the Sound shore?
- Yes, along with Rye Brook, Port Chester, Mamaroneck, Larchmont and the rest of southern Westchester.
