Regent5 is a Bay Area smart home company, installer, automation contractor, designer, programmer and service team for Savant, Control4 and Crestron. We engineer and install whole-home control for custom homes and estates, integrating lighting, shades, AV, networking, security, climate and energy across San Francisco, the Peninsula, South Bay, East Bay, Marin and Monterey.
A luxury smart home can include dozens of systems, but it should never feel complicated. Regent5 coordinates lighting, motorized shades, climate, audio video, security, access, networking and energy into one engineered control environment. Keypads, touchscreens and mobile interfaces are programmed around how the home is actually used, with scenes that remain fast, predictable and easy to service.
Savant is well suited to design-driven residences where interface quality, high-performance AV and personalized scenes matter. Regent5 designs and programs Savant systems for custom homes and estates, integrating Lutron lighting and shading, climate, distributed audio and video, security and energy while keeping the technology discreet and the daily experience simple.
Control4 combines broad device compatibility with intuitive everyday control. Regent5 engineers Control4 systems around stable networking, clean programming and documented infrastructure, bringing lighting, shades, AV, climate, security and third-party devices into one platform. It is a strong fit for custom homes that need flexibility today and room to evolve over time.
Lighting and shading shape the way a home feels throughout the day. Regent5 integrates Lutron HomeWorks QSX and RadioRA 3 with Ketra, warm-dim and tunable-white lighting, architectural keypads, motorized shades and drapery. Scenes can coordinate light level, color temperature, daylight and privacy while remaining intuitive from keypads and the broader automation system.
The best automation systems are planned before framing, not added after finishes are complete. Regent5 coordinates conduit, structured wiring, equipment rooms, keypad locations, shade pockets, lighting-control panels, network coverage, rack ventilation and power with architects, builders and interior teams. Early coordination protects architectural details, reduces field conflicts and creates infrastructure that can be serviced and expanded for years.
Crestron Home is built for projects that demand extensive integration, advanced AV distribution and control across large or multi-structure properties. Regent5 designs Crestron systems with the network, lighting, security, climate and equipment architecture planned as a complete estate platform, delivering sophisticated control without exposing the complexity behind it.
Every automation system depends on the network underneath it. Regent5 designs managed wired and wireless networks with enterprise-grade switching, Wi-Fi coverage, VLAN segmentation, firewall architecture, fiber where appropriate and secure remote support. The network is engineered for the property, not assembled from consumer extenders, so automation, streaming, cameras, access control and remote management remain reliable.
The exact system is tailored to the residence, but these are the core layers Regent5 coordinates so the home operates as one reliable, serviceable platform.
Unified control for lighting, shades, climate, audio video, security and other systems through keypads, touchscreens, mobile devices and scheduled scenes.
Lutron, Ketra and other integrated lighting and shading systems coordinated for scenes, daylight control, privacy, architectural details and energy performance.
Distributed music, television, media rooms, theaters and architectural speaker systems designed to disappear into the home while remaining simple to use.
Integrated temperature, humidity and environmental controls coordinated with HVAC equipment and automation scenes for comfort, efficiency and remote oversight.
Cameras, alarms, gates, intercoms, smart locks and access-control workflows integrated with the home platform while preserving dedicated security functions.
Enterprise-grade wired and wireless networking, fiber, VLAN segmentation, firewall architecture, redundant internet and secure remote-management foundations.
Automation, network, security and AV loads coordinated with UPS systems, batteries, generators, surge protection and intelligent energy-management strategies.
Racks, ventilation, power, structured wiring, fiber, conduit, labeling and service clearances planned as infrastructure rather than afterthoughts.
Secure control from phones, tablets, touchscreens and supported voice platforms, with remote access configured around owner preferences and privacy.
System programming, calibration, testing, documentation, owner and staff training, remote monitoring and a long-term service path after move-in.
Where we work.
Regent5 designs, installs, programs and supports luxury smart home systems for custom homes and estates across Northern California, including San Francisco, Atherton, Woodside, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Los Altos Hills, San Jose, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Marin, Napa and Wine Country, Carmel and Pebble Beach. Select project coverage extends through Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Orange County.
The best platform depends on project scale, interface preferences, subsystem requirements and long-term service expectations. Savant, Crestron and Control4 can all be strong choices when the underlying network, lighting, AV, security and infrastructure are engineered correctly.
Cost varies widely with home size, number of controlled systems, lighting and shading scope, AV, security, networking and finish level. A useful budget is built from the system architecture and performance goals first, not from a generic per-square-foot number.
A complete system can coordinate lighting, motorized shades, climate, audio video, security, access control, gates, networks, energy systems and selected outdoor features through a consistent control experience.
Yes, where the chosen platform and device category support Matter. Matter can improve cross-ecosystem compatibility, but professional systems still benefit from dedicated control platforms, strong networking and deliberate subsystem design rather than relying on interoperability alone.
For core home functions, local control generally improves resilience and response time because lighting, shades and other systems can keep operating even when an internet service is unavailable. Cloud services can still add remote access, voice features and selected integrations.
Future-proofing means preserving options with conduit, Cat6A, fiber where appropriate, spare rack and switch capacity, accessible equipment spaces, robust Wi-Fi design and documented wiring. The goal is to make future upgrades possible without reopening finished architecture.
Yes. A well-designed platform can present these systems through a unified interface while allowing specialized subsystems such as Lutron lighting, security and energy equipment to retain the functions they perform best.
Large homes typically need a managed wired backbone, multiple professionally placed wireless access points, PoE switching, VLANs or other segmentation, firewall protection, fiber for long runs or detached buildings, and redundant internet where continuity is important.
Security starts with strong network segmentation, managed firewalls, secure remote access, current firmware, unique credentials and clear control of cloud accounts and data retention. Cameras, IoT devices and owner computers should not all share one flat network.
Core locally controlled functions can continue during an internet outage if the local network remains operational. During a power outage, UPS systems, batteries or generators can keep selected network, automation, security and other critical loads online when they are designed into the power strategy.
Professional integration is most valuable when many systems must work together reliably, when the home is large or complex, or when long-term service matters. DIY devices can be useful at smaller scale, but they rarely replace coordinated design, infrastructure, commissioning and support.
Ideally during schematic design or design development. Early involvement allows the integrator to coordinate equipment rooms, wiring, lighting controls, shade pockets, speaker locations, network coverage, security, power and other details before framing and finishes are fixed.
