About This Video

In this video I’m walking you through a multi-million dollar Texas new construction that’s getting transformed into a full smart home from the ground up. We’re handling the whole scope—audio, video, security, and integration—and I show you what to look for while the walls are still open. The goal is simple: help you get value out of the walkthrough and understand what should be prewired now so your install is clean and your system is future-proof. We start in the media room, which is wired for 7.1 surround and set up for a future display. I talk through options like 7.1 vs 9.1 vs Dolby Atmos, plus TV vs rear/short-throw projector, and why window treatment matters—especially if you’re going projection (think ambient light rejection screen and a high-lumen projector). We’re also wiring every window for smart shades (Hunter Douglas on this one) so scenes like morning, good night, and entertaining can happen automatically. From there I show the master setup with speakers, future TV wiring, and UI options like Josh.ai, Control4, iPads, and wall-mounted touchscreens. I also take you into the “brains of the house” area where the rack will live—Cat6, security wire, conductor wire, and fiber—plus outdoor tips like running data to pool equipment and using Cat6 for PoE IP cameras with AI features. We’re involved throughout construction doing walkthroughs to make sure nothing gets cut or covered, so trim-out and final install go smooth and simple.
