Smart Home Automation

Sumner homeowners value quality, craftsmanship, and a refined lifestyle that deserves a smart home system to match. Hutter Home Theater designs and installs Nice and Elan smart home control systems that unify your lighting, shades, audio, security, and climate into one seamless experience. One touch or voice command puts everything in your Sumner home under your control, installed by a CEDIA certified integrator with 25 years of experience.

Smart Home Integration

Automation is about bringing every subsystem together into one ecosystem. Your lighting, audio/video, shading, climate, and security systems all communicate through a central platform. That means you don’t have to think about what works with what — it all just works.

​This level of integration makes your home easier to use and more reliable. From a single app or interface, you can check cameras, adjust the thermostat, lower the shades, and start music in the kitchen. The experience is consistent from room to room and even extends beyond your home with remote access.

Universal Remotes & Smart Touchscreens

Control should feel natural, no matter where you are. Universal remotes and wall-mounted touchscreens provide quick, familiar control in living spaces, bedrooms, and theaters. On a handheld remote, you can manage your TV, sound system, lighting, and even climate from a single device.

​Touchscreens placed throughout your home give you a central point of control. They replace multiple wall switches with one clean interface that lets you manage the entire home. And with a smartphone or tablet app, you always have access in your pocket, whether you’re on the couch or away from home.

Voice Control

Sometimes the simplest way to control your home is just to ask for it. Voice assistants integrate with your automation system so you can dim the lights, play music, or lock the doors without lifting a finger.

​Whether you’re carrying groceries and need the lights on or getting comfortable in your theater and want to start the movie, voice control adds an extra layer of convenience. And because it ties into the rest of your automation system, the commands are fast, reliable, and secure.

Scenes & Lifestyle Automation

The real power of automation comes from personalized scenes that combine multiple actions into one touch or voice command. Imagine:

-Movie Night: Lights dim, shades lower, the projector powers on, and the sound system sets to the perfect volume.

-Good Morning: Shades rise gradually, the thermostat adjusts for comfort, and soft music starts playing in the kitchen.

-Away Mode: Lights turn off, doors lock, the alarm arms, and cameras activate — all at once.

​These lifestyle automations make your home more comfortable, more efficient, and more secure — while saving you time every day.
