AVA OS Smart Home Control, Refined

AVA Cinema Remote, Home Remote and AVA OS, programmed around the home's audio, video, lighting, shades and climate.

Cinema Remote: Media and Whole-Home Control

AVA Cinema Remote combines TV and media control with AVA OS access to lighting, shades, music, climate and other connected systems. Regent5 programs each room so the remote feels immediate and familiar instead of exposing the complexity behind the system.

→

Home Remote: Control beyond the TV

AVA Home Remote is designed for spaces without a television, giving bedrooms, kitchens, offices and other rooms a dedicated interface for lighting, shades, audio and everyday home control. Regent5 places and configures each remote around how the room is actually used.

→

Nano Brain: The Always-⁠On Home Controller

For larger systems, AVA Nano Brain hosts AVA OS in the equipment room and keeps control synchronized across the home. Regent5 coordinates the controller with network, rack power, source equipment and remote locations so the system has a clean, serviceable backbone.

→

AVA OS: Rooms, Devices and Flows

AVA OS organizes devices by room and uses Flows to coordinate multi-step actions such as starting a movie, setting lighting, adjusting shades or preparing the house for evening. Regent5 builds these experiences around the project rather than forcing every room into the same interface.

Dynamic Keypad: Tactile Control That Adapts

Cinema Remote’s Dynamic Keypad changes with the device being controlled while retaining tactile navigation. The result is a handheld interface that can move from television to music and whole-home functions without turning every common command into a hunt through touchscreen menus.

Lighting, Shades, Audio and Climate Integration

AVA becomes most useful when it is engineered as part of the complete residence. Regent5 coordinates supported lighting, shading, audio, video, climate and network systems, then verifies control paths and room behavior during commissioning.

Design, Programming and Long-Term Support

Regent5 plans AVA alongside low-voltage drawings, equipment racks, networking and the broader automation scope, then programs, documents and commissions the system. We also support existing residences that need AVA additions, troubleshooting, network work or a cleaner long-term service plan.

AVA System Components and Integration Options

A complete AVA project can scale from one media room to a coordinated whole-home system. Regent5 selects the control hardware, network and integration approach around the rooms and systems that need to work together.

Cinema Remote

AVA Cinema Remote combines a touchscreen, tactile controls and AVA OS in one handheld interface. Regent5 configures room-specific media, lighting, shading, music and climate control so everyday commands remain fast while deeper functions stay available when needed.

Home Remote

Home Remote brings AVA OS to rooms where television control is not the priority. It can serve as a dedicated interface for lighting, shades, audio and climate in bedrooms, kitchens, offices and other spaces.

Nano Brain

Nano Brain is AVA’s always-on controller for larger and multi-room systems. Regent5 places it with the core network and equipment rack, provides stable power and connectivity, and documents the system for future service.

AVA OS and Flows

AVA OS organizes devices by room while Flows combine multiple commands into simple experiences. A single action can coordinate entertainment, lighting, shades and other supported systems instead of requiring separate apps and remotes.

IP and IR Device Control

AVA can control supported devices over the network and through infrared. Regent5 checks compatibility during design, coordinates emitters or network control where required, and keeps the rack and room hardware serviceable.

Whole-Home Audio and Media

AVA can sit at the control layer for distributed audio and media systems. Regent5 designs the surrounding speakers, amplification, streaming, displays and source equipment so the control experience matches the performance of the AV system.

Lighting, Shades and Climate

Where supported, AVA can bring lighting, shading and climate into the same room-based interface as entertainment. Regent5 coordinates these integrations with the broader automation and electrical design rather than treating them as isolated add-ons.

Network and Rack Engineering

Reliable control depends on reliable infrastructure. Regent5 engineers switching, Wi-Fi, VLANs where appropriate, rack power, cooling, source placement and structured cabling around the AVA system.

New Construction and Retrofit

AVA can be designed into a new residence or introduced into an existing home. New construction gives the most freedom for hidden equipment and structured wiring; retrofit projects are scoped room by room around existing infrastructure.

Service and System Takeovers

Regent5 can evaluate an existing AVA installation, document the network and equipment, resolve control or connectivity problems, and create a practical support plan even when another integrator performed the original installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AVA smart home control?

AVA is a professionally installed control platform built around AVA OS, handheld remotes and an optional always-on controller. It can unify supported entertainment and whole-home functions into room-based interfaces and automated Flows. Nano Brain runs AVA OS continuously for larger or multi-room systems and acts as the central controller in the equipment rack.

What is the difference between AVA Cinema Remote and Home Remote?

Cinema Remote is designed around entertainment control and includes AVA’s adaptive tactile keypad. Home Remote is intended for rooms where lighting, shades, audio and other home functions matter more than television control. AVA can control supported lighting, shading, climate and other systems in addition to audio and video.

Can AVA replace multiple remotes and apps?

That is one of its main advantages. A properly programmed AVA system can consolidate supported media and home functions into a consistent room-based interface, reducing the need to jump among separate remotes and apps.

Who designs and installs AVA systems in the Bay Area?

Regent5 serves luxury residential projects across Northern California, including San Francisco, the Peninsula, South Bay, Marin, Wine Country and Carmel/Monterey.

How much does an AVA remote control system cost?

That depends on the scope of the home. The number of rooms, the mix of Cinema Remotes and Home Remotes, whether a Nano Brain controller is needed, the lighting, shade and climate integrations, and the network and rack work drive the cost. A number without drawings or a site visit would mislead. The useful first step is a visit to the Regent5 Showroom & Design Center in San Carlos.

Can Regent5 take over an existing AVA system?

Yes. Regent5 can assess the existing control system, network, rack and connected devices, then document deficiencies, correct practical issues and establish an ongoing service plan.
