A large home can include dozens of systems, but it should never feel complicated. Keypads, touchscreens and mobile interfaces are programmed around how the home is actually used.
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 the project team.

Savant suits design-driven residences where interface quality, high-performance AV and personalized scenes matter. Regent5 designs and programs Savant systems that integrate Lutron lighting and shading, climate, distributed audio and video, security and energy.
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.
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.
Start with your plans and how the household lives in each space.
Regent5 designs the control platform, wiring, network and interfaces.
Regent5 installs the controls, network and integrated subsystems.
Scenes are programmed, tested, walked through and supported over time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Arrange a private showroom visit to discuss the options for your home.
