Lighting + Shade Control

Instantly transform your home with automated shades and lights that adjust hands-free to the perfect glow for every hour and occasion.

Automated Lighting

Gone are the days of long banks of switches taking up valuable wall space and causing visual clutter! Lutron’s automated lighting is designed clean and minimalistic. Controllable dimmers and switches can turn on or off your entire home with one touch, voice command, or smart phone app control. Automated lighting also gives you the ability to program the quality and quantity of light and, combined with occupancy sensors and automated shades, allows you to balance light to naturally heat or cool your rooms, saving energy in your home.

Pedro is solid. Working with him is very comfortable and easy. More importantly, he made our Lutron system make sense, solved all of the product issues and helped us to get the most out of it.TIP: Listen to him and take his advice. His knowledge and experience run deep. In other words, he has answers to questions you haven't even thought of

Pedro was absolutely awesome! I called for some automation work at my property and within hours he was at my home. The most impressive part of the entire process is he finished the job the same day I called. You just can’t beat that level of service. I would highly recommend Pedro to anyone looking for home automation

IQ Automation/Pedro has done a handful of projects in our home over the last MANY years. We have never been disappointed. He’s always responded in a timely manner, troubleshooted our needs within our budget and is very personable. Everything we have installed is good quality and easy to use. Pedro explained all the tech clearly (I am not tech savvy) from the sound system in our Family Room to the Nest in the Hallway, system in the Basement and system in the Primary Bedroom to Security Cameras. One of the things I love most about how he works is his focus ; Pedro is there to get the job done and then once he finished, he talked me through how everything worked. I also love that IQ Automation only uses great quality products. Nothing has ever needed to be replaced or repaired. I’d highly recommend Pedro & IQ Automation, and have
