Why Choose Summit in Highland
Summit Sight & Sound is a Utah-based, veteran-owned company with deep roots in the mountain communities we serve. Our certified designers and technicians live and work in the same region as our Highland clients — which means faster response times, firsthand knowledge of local building practices, and a genuine understanding of what luxury mountain living demands from a home automation system. Every project is assigned a dedicated project manager who stays with you from initial design through final calibration and beyond.
Engineered to Exceed
One-Touch Control
A single tap on a sleek touchscreen or your smartphone orchestrates every system in the home — AV, climate, security, shades, lighting, and irrigation. We design scenes like 'Après Ski,' 'Movie Night,' and 'Away' that transform your entire home in one gesture.
Climate & Energy Management
High-altitude mountain homes face extreme thermal demands. Our integrated HVAC control, heated driveway management, and radiant floor automation deliver precise comfort while optimizing energy use — automatically adjusting based on occupancy, weather forecasts, and utility rate schedules.
Security & Access Control
Remote monitoring, smart locks, and HD camera systems integrated into your automation platform give you complete visibility and peace of mind whether you're in residence or a continent away. Receive instant alerts for anything that matters.
Motorized Window Treatments
Lutron and Somfy motorized shades manage solar gain, privacy, and ambiance — all automatically. Wake to gentle morning light programmed to your schedule, protect art and furniture from UV exposure during the day, and create perfect blackout for sleep at night.
Our Process in Highland
Discovery & Design
We begin with a complimentary in-home consultation to understand your lifestyle, architecture, and project goals. Our designers produce detailed drawings, equipment specifications, and investment summaries before a single wire is pulled.
Engineering & Specification
Every system is engineered from first principles — not assembled from a standard package. We model acoustics, calculate signal paths, specify equipment to your exact use cases, and coordinate with your architect, builder, and interior designer.
Installation & Integration
Our technicians treat your home with the same care as their own. All work is performed to the highest craft standards — clean cable management, labeled infrastructure, and zero shortcuts. Complex projects are phased to minimize household disruption.
Calibration & Handoff
Every system is calibrated to reference standards before handoff. We conduct a thorough walkthrough, provide full system documentation, and offer ongoing support so your investment performs flawlessly for years to come.
Home Automation in Highland — Example Projects
Whole-Home Integration — New Highland Build
During construction of a custom Highland residence, Summit collaborated with the architect and builder to wire every system from the ground up. The completed home features Crestron automation controlling climate, security, AV, lighting, and shading from a single interface — with geofencing that prepares the home automatically as the owner's phone approaches.
Retrofit Automation — Highland Mountain Retreat
The owners of an existing Highland vacation home wanted smart home convenience without a full renovation. Summit deployed a wireless Control4 system that overlaid seamlessly on existing infrastructure, delivering app-based control of lighting, thermostats, security cameras, and audio throughout the property in under two weeks.
Home Automation FAQ — Highland
Which home automation platforms does Summit install in Highland?
Summit is certified in Crestron, Control4, Lutron HomeWorks, and Savant — the four platforms most trusted by luxury homeowners and architects in Highland. During your design consultation we'll recommend the platform that best fits your home's complexity, your lifestyle, and your long-term support expectations.
Can you automate an existing Highland home without a full renovation?
Absolutely. Many of our Highland projects are retrofits where we overlay a wireless or hybrid automation system with minimal disruption. Modern platforms like Control4 and Lutron RadioRA support wireless devices that integrate with existing wiring, delivering whole-home automation without opening walls in most cases.
What happens to my automation system if the internet goes out?
Well-designed automation systems operate locally — not cloud-dependent. Summit programs all critical functions (lighting, climate, locks, AV) to run from your local home network, so an internet outage doesn't affect day-to-day operation in your Highland home. Remote access requires connectivity, but everything works locally.
