Founded by a former US service member and a certified audio engineer with two decades of industry experience, American Home Automation operates as a custom technology integrator from a Santa Monica Avenue studio in OB. Whole-home AV and lighting projects pair structured low-voltage cabling with the line-voltage work done by partners like Crock Electric, since dedicated circuits, in-wall conduit, and panel additions sit outside a low-voltage scope. Equipment lines run toward Sonos, JBL Synthesis, Sony BRAVIA, and Control4 head ends, with Ubiquiti and Araknis backbones for the network layer that sits behind every modern home theater and multi-room audio setup. Pre-construction wiring scopes get coordinated during framing alongside design-build firms such as CairnsCraft Design & Remodel, where speaker cans, projector backboxes, and CAT6A pulls have to be set before drywall close-in. The most ambitious installs are full custom home cinemas with calibrated 7.2.4 immersive audio, motorized acoustic treatment, and a Lutron RadioRA shading layer tied into a single interface for projection, lighting, and HVAC scenes — the kind of whole-house control build that takes weeks of programming after the rough-in is finished.
