Turn DIY Home Automation Products Into Your Dream Smart Home
Apple HomeKit, Sonos, and Lutron Combine to Create a Simple and Sophisticated Smart Home
Have you decided it’s time to join the 65% of Americans with a smart home device? Have you been studying the different types of smart devices and wondering what technology would make a difference in your life?
While some homeowners start by installing DIY home automation products, many realize they either didn’t know what they’re getting into, need a home network update, or don’t know how to take advantage of the full capabilities of their smart home device.
At Electronics Professionals, our certified technicians are happy to help you with your DIY projects. We don’t insist on pushing home automation systems, like Control4 and Savant, when less-costly products fill clients' needs.
With today's DIY products, we can create a robust smart home, combining it with brands like Lutron and Sonos without breaking the bank. As a Sonos dealer in Lafayette, LA, and integrator of audio, video, and electronic products since 2008, we’ve got you covered with a promise to exceed your expectations.
Let’s look at what some DIY products can do for your home and your lifestyle.

Apple HomeKit
Apple’s HomeKit lets you control all of your compatible smart home devices right from your iPhone, iPad, or with voice control. Smart locks, thermostats, lights, security, audio/video, and more can be controlled from one user-friendly app.
Tell Siri you’re home as you stroll up the walkway, and the door unlocks, the lighting adjusts to welcome you, and your favorite tunes fill your home from Sonos speakers.
You can see who’s at your front door and speak to them through an intercom from anywhere in the world. While you’re away, adjust the lights and blinds so that no one knows you’re not home. Better yet, let Lutron do it for you.
To achieve this level of automation requires programming a series of events and applying them to specific circumstances. We’ll be sure to discuss your needs and lifestyle to determine what scenes would truly revolutionize your home experience.
Integrates With Lutron
In 2017, Lutron, the world-renowned smart lighting and shade technology brand, announced its integration with HomeKit. This was great news for Lutron fans who appreciate the beauty and ease of Lutron’s lighting and shade control.
In the morning, a preset scene can raise your honeycomb or roller shades, letting the sun's rays nudge you from sleep. Soft relaxing music begins to play throughout your home as you make your way to the kitchen, where the lighting has adjusted to a golden hue.
In the evening, a goodnight scene can lock the doors, arm the security, lower the blinds, and turn off the lights, except for the dimly illuminated trail that leads from your bedroom to the kitchen.
Sonos for Home Audio
Lutron and Apple HomeKit also integrate with Sonos. This integration allows for an impressive home automation solution that is both reliable and easy to use. Using Sonos’ wireless multi-room music system, we can install barely visible in-wall and in-ceiling speakers powered by a Sonos Connect amplifier throughout your home and into the yard.
If you’d like to start on a smaller scale, we can install speakers in your family or living room and add a TV-compatible playbar so the audio from your TV fills the space. Whether streaming music, listening to your favorite podcast, or binge-watching a Netflix series, the Sonos music system offers brilliant, expertly-tuned sound.
