Oakville Custom Home
PROJECT
Square Footage: 5,237sqft above grade, 5 bedrooms, + finished basement
Project Type: Centralized Lighting System
Challenge: A new build by a high end custom home builder James Grant. There was a need for a single system to control lighting and audio with the ability to expand to further integrate video, home theater, security, HVAC, door bell/phone system and cameras
Benefits: Vantage’s complete automation solution provided an added measure of comfort, security and dramatic lighting scenes. The enhancement of the Vantage system allowed the homeowner to enjoy audio throughout the home. The use of sophisticated EasyTouch II keypads and Equinox 40 touchscreens allowed the owner to alter the mood in the home at the touch of a button. The LED backlighting on these keypads was programmed to provide status feedback. The Vantage Equinox App was installed on an iPod Touch, iPhone and an iPad to ensure that the homeowner could control settings from anywhere in the home or from the other side of the globe. Fireplaces, garage doors and three home theaters can be controlled centrally through the Vantage interface.
Timed lighting based on the system's astronomical clock turns on exterior lighting in sync with the sun.
Multiple loads of lighting are easily controlled through scenes on descriptive keypads.
Audio throughout the home
Multiple lighting loads. Minimal wall clutter to control them.
Vantage Controls centralized lighting system
