We design and install the systems behind luxury custom homes — networking, lighting, audio, video, security, climate, shades, and Control4.
Designed for custom homes $1 Million and up. Built alongside the people building the house.
01 · The work
The best technology in a custom home is the technology you do not have to think about. We plan the infrastructure, devices, controls, and interfaces around the way the house will actually be lived in.

02 · Integrated systems
One interface for the systems that matter. Less app clutter. Fewer switches. A home that feels considered.
Keypads and scenes replace a wall of switches with a cleaner, more deliberate way to control the home.
Natural light and privacy coordinated with lighting, scenes, schedules, and the way each room is used.
Whole-home audio, video distribution, and dedicated entertainment spaces planned into the architecture.
See the property, manage access, and bring cameras to the screens where you need them.
Video intercoms, smart locks, garage control, and access designed around how you arrive home.
Temperature settings coordinated with arrival, away, and everyday scenes across the home.
Structured wiring, enterprise-grade networking, and access point planning built for large custom homes.
Dedicated media rooms and theaters with speaker placement, video, seating, and acoustics considered together.
03 · The Sterling experience
Your home can recognize the way you arrive and respond without asking you to manage a list of devices.
01

Gate and garage respond.
02

04

02 · The Sterling standard
We work with the project team early, document the infrastructure, finish the installation, and stay available after move-in.
We work from the plans and think through infrastructure, device locations, network requirements, control points, and future needs before the walls close.
Structured wiring, labeled runs, equipment locations, and documented installation before drywall closes.
Devices are installed, scenes programmed, systems tested, and the homeowner gets a proper walkthrough.
05 · Existing systems
Already have a Control4 system? We can assess the environment, provide service, updates, and upgrades, and support the system as dealer of record when applicable.
System Assessment
Understand what is installed and what needs attention.
Updates & Upgrades

What it means
Home automation is a simple idea: the systems in your house work together and respond to how you live, instead of each one needing its own remote, switch bank or app. Lighting, shades, music, TVs, climate, cameras, locks and the gate all answer to one interface, and the common moments of the day happen with one touch or on their own.
For home automation Monroe GA projects, that means arriving home to the driveway lights on and the front door unlocking, a goodnight button that locks every door and turns everything off, shades that drop before the afternoon sun hits the great room, and a movie scene that dims the lights and starts the show. It is planned at the blueprint, installed before the drywall closes, and supported for as long as you own the house.
Systems
We design every system around Control4, which ties together centralized lighting control, motorized shades, whole home audio, home theaters and media rooms, video distribution and smart climate control.
Security and access are part of the same system: security cameras, gate entry and video intercom and smart locks. Underneath it all sit structured wiring, home networking and Wi-Fi design, because home automation Monroe GA homes depend on is only as reliable as the network it runs on.
Budget
Every house is different, so we do not publish a single price. As a typical 2026 guide, not a quote, focused projects such as a network, cameras and a few rooms of lighting and audio often start in the low five figures, while whole-home systems for custom homes commonly range from about $40,000 to well over $150,000.
What drives home automation Monroe GA cost most is the number of rooms and systems, how many windows get shades, the theater or media room, and whether the work is planned at blueprint or retrofitted. We price each system separately so you can decide what matters now and what can be added later, with the wiring in place for it.
Service area
Our office is at 511 E Spring St in Monroe, open Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. We design and support home automation for custom homes in Monroe and across North and Northeast Georgia, including Loganville, Good Hope, Winder, Madison, Watkinsville, Athens and Lake Oconee.
Builders bring us in at framing through our builder partnership and low voltage contractor services. Homeowners with an existing system can reach us for Control4 service. Wherever you are starting, home automation Monroe GA projects begin with one conversation: tell us where the house is.
Common questions
Home automation ties lighting, shades, audio, video, climate, cameras, locks and gate entry into one system you control from an app, keypads, touchscreens or voice, with scenes and schedules that run on their own.
Yes. Sterling designs, installs and supports Control4 systems from our Monroe office for homes across Walton County and North Georgia.
As a typical 2026 guide, focused projects often start in the low five figures and whole-home systems for custom homes commonly range from about $40,000 to over $150,000. Every home automation Monroe GA project is priced room by room; these are not quotes.
At the blueprint stage, before framing. Rack location, speaker and keypad positions, shade power and camera views are cheapest to plan before walls are built.
Yes. We use existing wiring, attics and crawl spaces where we can, and wireless options where we cannot, so finished homes can still get lighting, shades, audio, cameras and Control4.
Yes. The same local team that installs your system answers service calls, and many issues can be solved remotely once we are your dealer of record.
Yes. Every part of the system rides on the network, so we design a managed, wired network with access points planned to the floor plan as part of every project.
