Your Home Technology Checklist

What Would You Like
Your Home to Do?

Choose what matters to your family. Mark your priorities, print a plan to discuss together, or share it with Soundwaves when you are ready.

Go to My Plan
What Does a Home Technology Integrator Do?

We connect your goals with the right lighting, shades, entertainment, climate controls, security, water protection, and network. Soundwaves coordinates the details with your architect, designer, builder, and other trades, then installs and programs the agreed systems, shows you how to use them, and plans their ongoing care.

Meet Your Project Partner

Select as many goals as you like. “Help Me Decide” is a useful answer, too.

01Light That Feels Right

Think about light inside your home and across the garden, deck, and terrace.

Explore natural light rhythms, useful daytime light, and softer evenings.

Linear lighting, cabinetry, artwork, and the details you love.

Landscape lighting, linear light under deck rails, and illuminated paths and steps.

Welcome, cooking, entertaining, and relaxing at a touch.

02Daylight & Privacy

Start with how each room should feel, then consider the fabric and finish.

Daytime shade fabrics selected for light and visibility.

Shade fabrics and schedules that reduce UV exposure and direct sunlight.

Window treatments suited to the room, especially after dark.

Room darkening and useful morning and evening routines.

03Sound & Video, Inside & Out

Music, conversation, and the shows you enjoy—wherever you spend time.

Play together or choose different sources and volumes by area.

Plan outdoor listening zones and television locations.

A soundbar, a better TV setup, or a thoughtfully integrated room.

Better speakers, focused listening, or a cinema space if it suits us.

A dedicated server for digitized movies, music, and home videos, with suitable remote access.

04A Simpler Way to Use It All

Everyone in the home should feel comfortable with the controls.

Useful keypads, familiar controls, and a clear handover.

Explore systems such as Josh.ai alongside touch controls.

Coordinate supported systems around the way we live.

Compatible HVAC controls, room zones, away settings, and remote adjustment.

05Security & Connection

Consider everyday access, awareness, and dependable connectivity.

Cameras and video entry with thoughtful placement and access.

Discuss detection, notifications, and any monitoring needs.

Access control and permissions that fit the property.

Coverage for work, entertainment, and connected equipment.

Fluke Versiv testing and results where the project requires cable certification.

Leak sensors, a compatible main valve, and alerts for the right people.

Explore a second provider, Starlink, or cellular with automatic failover.

06Care Beyond Installation

Plan for the support your installed systems will need.

Support for suitable systems, with an on-site visit when needed.

Discuss upkeep, system reviews, and clear support expectations.

Remote access and agreed responsibilities for family, a caretaker, and Soundwaves.

Soundwaves delivers the complete system, with wiring and equipment space planned to accommodate changing needs.

Look for unnecessary energy use, duplicate subscriptions, and unused services.

A Little Context

Make It Your Own.
