One remote. One app. The whole house.
Smart home automation, Lutron lighting control and home theater for Greater Boston and the Lake Winnipesaukee region of New Hampshire.
We design and program RTI control systems that put lighting, audio, theater, shades, climate and cameras behind one interface, laid out for how your family actually uses the house. Then we build the Lutron, audio, theater and network systems underneath it.

Interfaces designed for your house, in your style.
Every RTI interface is drawn for the room it lives in and the way the house is finished. A guest in the bunk room sees three buttons; the owner on the dock sees the whole property. Below are four design directions we offer as a starting point. Pick one, or bring us your interior designer's palette.
Interface designs by Winnie Waterfront Smart Homes. Every client's panels are drawn for their house; these four show the range.
"Movie" does seven things.
The RTI processor is the brain. One press dims the Lutron scene, lowers the shades, switches the display and receiver to the right input, pauses the house audio, sets the climate and starts the source. Nobody touches a second remote.
Everything under the panel.
Scope of workControl & AutomationRTI and URC systems. Custom panel layouts, handheld remotes, app control, scenes and schedules. The layer everything else plugs into.

RadioRA 2 dimmers and engraved keypads replaced banks of switches room by room, with scenes and schedules programmed afterward. The house looks calmer and the owners stopped thinking about the lights.

Low-voltage drawings and keypad schedules handed to the electrician before rough-in, every wall photographed before drywall, and a finished rack the builder was glad to show the owners.
Most of our work arrives through you.
We don't advertise. We show up when we say we will, hand your electrician drawings they can follow, photograph every wall before it closes, and make the finished house look better, not busier.

Prefer to talk? Call or text 617-701-7723 or email info@winniewaterfrontsmarthomes.com.
Can RTI control my existing Lutron, Sonos and Apple TV?
Yes. RTI has native drivers for Lutron, Sonos, the major TVs, receivers and streaming boxes. We program one interface over whatever is already in the house.
What does a project like this cost?
It depends on the house and how much is being controlled. A single-room RTI remote and programming is the smallest project we take on; lighting control for the main rooms is a mid-size job; a whole-house system with theater, audio zones and networking is a construction-phase project. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll give you a realistic range before anyone visits.
Do you work with my builder or electrician?
That's how most projects start. We supply the drawings, coordinate rough-in, and return after paint for trim-out and programming.
Where do you work?
Two bases: Somerville, Massachusetts for Greater Boston (Cambridge, Brookline, Newton, Wellesley, Weston, Lexington, Winchester, Concord and the North and South Shores), and Alton Bay, New Hampshire for the Lake Winnipesaukee region (Alton, Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro, Moultonborough, Meredith, Gilford, Laconia and nearby lakes).
