Smart Home Integration in Water Mill
Water Mill is ponds, reserves and long lawns running down to Mecox Bay, between Southampton and Bridgehampton.
The hamlet takes its name from its seventeenth-century mill, and much of it is still open: farmland, nature reserves and ponds, with the Parrish Art Museum on the highway. South, the properties run to Mecox Bay and the ocean at Flying Point; north, they are wooded and quieter.
Bay and ocean frontage means salt air and glare, and the open land means wind. We specify outdoor equipment built for it, shade the glass that faces the water, and plan power and equipment for the storms that come with the view.
The houses are often large and used for part of the year, so a monitored system and a house ready on arrival matter as much as the install.
Architecture
Shingle on the bay
Shingle-style estates, converted farmhouses and new modern houses facing the bay and the ponds. We shade the glass without closing the view and conceal every device.
Lifestyle
Arrive ready
The house is cool, lit and open when you arrive on Friday, and closed and monitored when you leave on Sunday.

Questions
Water Mill, answered.
- Do you work in Water Mill?
- Yes. We design and install shading, outdoor audio, lighting, networking and home theater for homes across Water Mill, from Mecox Bay to the woods north of the highway.
- How do you deal with glare off the bay?
- With motorized shading set to the sun's position for each window. Shades lower as the sun reaches the glass and rise when it passes, so rooms stay comfortable and the view comes back.
- Can the house be ready when we arrive on Friday?
- Yes. Climate, lighting, shades and music can be set remotely, or scheduled, so the house is ready when you walk in.
- What about storms?
- We keep equipment above flood level, protect it with surge suppression and battery backup, and design generator or battery systems so the essentials keep running. The house can be secured ahead of the weather.
