Voyager Home Systems
Edmond, Okla.
Tech Aids Disabled Owner's Daily Comforts
LOCATED IN
Oklahoma City, this
newly remodeled residence
was custom designed to
deliver a wheelchair-friendly
smart home that would
enable its tech-savvy
homeowner to achieve a
new level of independence.
With extensive experience
leading programs that
empower disabled people to
maximize their fullest
potential, the owner also
wanted to help likeminded
individuals discover what
can be attained through
technology.
For Voyager Home Systems,
the Crestron Home
platform helped reduce the
programming time significantly
for a quick and easy
install. The completed project
resulted in a system that
simplified the homeowner's
day-to-day life, enabling him
to control everything from
the convenience of his iPad.
Using Crestron Home,
Voyager integrated audio,
video, thermostats, HVAC,
door locks, motorized door
openers, and home security.
From the Crestron Home
app, the owner can control
entertainment, temperature,
and lighting throughout the
home. Crestron lighting control
is in every room, including
the garage, where he can
make manual adjustments

Uplynk
Oshawa, Ont., Canada
Affordable, Scalable Smart Home Built Around Alexa
THE ALEXA HOME by Uplynk is a project that was
designed to provide a scalable smart home for the
Ontario, Canada-based company's clients that would offer
aspects like voice control, comfort, security and fun.
Uplynk took a design approach that would allow the clients
to expand the system as their knowledge increased but also
provide them with an easy-to-use voice-controlled system.
The integrator piped in audio using Sonos in-ceiling speakers
on the terrace, great room and basement family room, and
all those spaces have Lutron Caséta lighting as well. For security,
Uplynk installed Ring security cameras and alarm system
along with smart locks from Schlage and myQ smart garage

doors. Everything can be controlled with Alexa.
Uplynk worked with homebuilder Jeffery Homes on the project,
the first such smart home the builder had done.
The home earned Energy Star Certification and was good
for the environment in other ways too, the integrator reports:
1% of the profits went towards planting trees to offset
the environmental impact of home construction; 221 were
planted. CE Pro

Crestron DigitalMedia
technology was deployed
to distribute AV content to
displays throughout.
Control of the home's
motorized doors was added
to the Crestron interface.
For security, the owner has
a list of codes for his doors,
and he is now able to assign
them to his nursing staff to
provide entry. CE Pro
