For your home

Connected Home & Smart Living Products

Technology selected to work together.

Integrator, not a store

The right technology for this home—not one proprietary ecosystem

JackNat designs systems using professional and consumer technologies selected for the home’s requirements, budget, existing systems, and the experience you want to live with. We select and integrate what fits, rather than forcing every room onto a single brand.

That work is design, installation, configuration, integration, documentation, and support—so the house feels like one system you understand. Product availability and compatibility vary by project. Many devices you already own can be incorporated when it is practical.

How to read this page: Categories are organized by what the home needs—reliable Wi-Fi, lighting you can live with, music that follows you—not by manufacturer aisle. Platforms named below are examples of technologies JackNat can design around, install, configure, or integrate as appropriate. This is not a retail catalog, and it does not imply formal dealer, reseller, or certified-installer status.

Related: four levels of home integration and the services catalog.

By homeowner need

What the home actually needs

Each category is a starting point for a conversation. Future detail pages can grow from these same anchors—for now, ask us how a category would fit your house.

Networking & Whole-Home Wi-Fi

The foundation of a connected home: coverage you can trust, wired where it matters, and a network that stays calm when cameras, guests, and everyday devices all come online.

UniFi Wi-Fi 6/7 PoE VLANs

We often design around

UniFi Cloud Gateways, Dream Machine / Dream Machine SE class hardware, managed Ethernet switches, PoE/PoE+, indoor and outdoor access points, controllers, monitoring, and UPS protection where it belongs.

What JackNat can do

  • Whole-home Wi-Fi design with professionally placed access points—not consumer extenders as the preferred approach
  • Wired Ethernet, indoor/outdoor coverage, guest Wi-Fi, and homeowner vs guest separation
  • IoT and camera/security segmentation, VLANs and firewall policy, remote troubleshooting

Smart Lighting

Light that matches how you live: one-touch scenes for welcome, entertaining, movie night, and goodnight—without a wall of mismatched switches.

Lutron Caséta RadioRA HomeWorks Ketra

We often design around

Lutron Caséta, RadioRA, and HomeWorks dimmers, switches, keypads, and occupancy/vacancy sensors. For architectural color and daylight-responsive spaces, Lutron Ketra (tunable white and color). Other compatible lighting systems when they are the better fit.

What JackNat can do

  • Scene design: Welcome, Away, Entertaining, Movie, Evening, Goodnight, and vacation lighting
  • Exterior automation, occupancy and time-based behavior, coordination with shades and A/V
  • Select, install, and configure the lighting platform that fits the home—not exclusively Lutron
Ask about this

Motorized Shades

Privacy, glare, and heat handled as part of the home’s scenes—not a separate remote on the coffee table.

Lutron Shades Somfy Sunrise / sunset

We often design around

Lutron shades alongside lighting projects, and Somfy roller and outdoor/patio shades with their controllers. Schedules, sunrise/sunset, and Home Assistant coordination where it is appropriate.

What JackNat can do

  • Privacy, heat, and glare control on a schedule or as part of a scene
  • Coordination with lighting so Movie Night or Goodnight includes the windows
  • Indoor and outdoor/patio shade integration as part of a broader design
Ask about this

Whole-Home Audio

Music in the kitchen, patio, and living room that stays in sync—and equipment that can stay largely out of sight.

Sonos Zones Architectural

We often design around

Sonos Amp, Port, Arc, Beam, Era, and Roam, plus architectural indoor and outdoor speakers. Rack-mounted amplification when the design calls for it, with Home Assistant and optional voice where those interfaces are supported.

What JackNat can do

  • Whole-home music, multi-room zones, and patio continuation of indoor listening
  • TV audio via soundbar or distributed speakers, streaming, and zone sync
  • Design so amplifiers and sources can live in the rack, not on the furniture
Ask about this

TVs & Entertainment

Indoor and outdoor viewing that actually connects to the rest of the house: sound, sources, and zones—not a lonely smart TV and a pile of remotes.

Smart TVs eARC / HDMI Neptune / Peerless-AV

We often design around

Indoor and outdoor TVs, wall mounts, soundbars, streaming, HDMI/eARC, optical, and HDMI-over-CAT / HDBaseT where the run requires it. Outdoor sets such as Neptune / Peerless-AV, outdoor soundbars, and weather-rated mounts. Not limited to one television brand.

What JackNat can do

  • TV + soundbar, TV + patio speakers, and clean source switching
  • Zone distribution and centralized equipment for remote displays
  • Rack AV design so living rooms stay simple and equipment rooms stay serviceable
Ask about this

Cameras & Video Doorbells

Awareness at the driveway, front door, backyard, and perimeter—with local recording and notifications that fit how you already use the home.

UniFi Protect PoE NVR

We often design around

UniFi Protect cameras (including 4K, indoor/outdoor, PoE), video doorbells, chimes, NVR/storage, and continuous or event recording.

What JackNat can do

  • Placement, PoE, storage, motion and doorbell alerts, and remote viewing
  • Local recording and integration with lighting, audio, and automations where supported
  • Event-triggered behavior as part of a broader system—not a standalone gadget app
Awareness, not alarm monitoring: Cameras and sensors provide visibility and notifications. JackNat does not advertise regulated central-station alarm monitoring.
Ask about this

Smart Home Control & Automation

Fewer apps. One home. A professionally configured control layer so lighting, shades, audio, cameras, climate, and the rest can be used together.

Home Assistant Dashboards Routines

We often design around

Home Assistant as the integration layer across lighting, shades, Sonos, cameras, TVs, climate, locks, sensors, irrigation, outdoor systems, appliances, and environmental sensors. Interfaces can include a wall tablet, phone, computer, touchscreen, optional voice, and routines.

What JackNat can do

  • Professionally configured unified control—not a hobbyist experiment left for you to maintain
  • Dashboards and routines matched to how the household actually lives
  • Local-first design where practical, expandable as the home grows
Ask about this

Climate & Environmental

Comfort and awareness: temperature, humidity, air quality, and leak detection that can show up in the same interface as the rest of the home.

Thermostats Ecowitt Leak / air quality

We often design around

Smart thermostats and HVAC controls, indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity, air quality, and leak/water monitoring. Platforms such as Ecowitt, existing smart thermostats, and Home Assistant–compatible devices when they fit.

What JackNat can do

  • Incorporate compatible climate and environmental devices into a unified control interface
  • Coordinate climate with Away, Goodnight, and occupancy-style scenes where supported
  • Be honest about limits—we do not promise every HVAC platform can be integrated
Ask about this

Entry, Locks & Sensors

Know whether a door is closed, trigger a scene when you leave, and get a notification when something unexpected happens—without treating the house like a monitored alarm account.

Z-Wave Matter / Thread UniFi sensors

We often design around

Smart locks, door/window/contact sensors, motion and occupancy, garage monitoring, and leak sensors. Transports include Z-Wave, Matter, Thread, Wi-Fi, manufacturer-specific radios, and UniFi sensors where they fit. Home Assistant Connect / Z-Wave interfaces when they are part of the design.

What JackNat can do

  • Open/closed awareness, Home/Away coordination, and scene triggers
  • Notifications and lighting/audio coordination where the devices support it
  • Select protocols that match reliability and the rest of the stack
Not burglar-alarm monitoring: This is household awareness and automation—not regulated central-station alarm service.
Ask about this

Outdoor Technology, Irrigation & Landscape

The property as one connected environment: patio, yard, and structure using the same thinking as the rooms inside.

Irrigation Rain Bird Landscape lighting

We often design around

Smart irrigation (including Rain Bird where supported), outdoor and landscape lighting, pool/spa monitoring where compatible, patio shades, and outdoor audio, TV, Wi-Fi, and cameras.

What JackNat can do

  • Treat irrigation, lighting, shade, and entertainment as part of the same home
  • Extend indoor scenes outdoors when the equipment can participate
  • Design outdoor Wi-Fi and camera coverage as part of the network—not afterthought extenders
Ask about this

Appliance & Device Integration

When a washer, oven, or refrigerator can usefully report status—or accept limited control—it should show up in the same place as the rest of the home. When it cannot, we say so.

GE Café Status vs control

We often design around

GE Café and other connected appliances (washers, ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers) when the manufacturer’s integration allows it.

What JackNat can do

  • Evaluate whether status, notifications, or control are actually available
  • Surface compatible appliances in the unified interface when it helps the homeowner
  • Be direct: integration capabilities depend on the manufacturer’s available local or cloud interface
Ask about this

Voice Assistants

Voice is an optional way to talk to the house—not the architecture the house depends on. The home should still work with a keypad, a dashboard, or a simple switch.

Alexa Google Assistant Apple Home / Siri

We often design around

Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant / Google Home, Apple Home / Siri where supported, and Sonos voice-capable devices.

What JackNat can do

  • Add voice as an interface on top of a solid control design
  • Keep local, tactile, and app control available if voice is down or unwanted
  • Avoid making a speaker the brain of the house
Ask about this

Infrastructure & Equipment Racks

The technology you see is only as good as the infrastructure you don’t. Pathways, racks, and labeling are what make the rest of this page reliable.

CAT6 / 6A Racks PoE switches

We often design around

Structured wiring, CAT6/6A, equipment racks, patch panels, PoE and managed switches, cable management, gateways, UPS, local storage, NVRs, and centralized amplifiers.

What JackNat can do

  • Plan structured wiring and equipment-room layout before devices go on walls
  • Build racks you can service: power, cooling, patching, and documentation
  • Leave capacity for the next decade of cameras, APs, and A/V—not wireless band-aids
Ask about this

Backup Power & Reliability

Short outages should not take down the gateway, Wi-Fi, cameras, and the automations you rely on. Protected power is part of the design, not an accessory.

UPS Surge Controlled shutdown

We often design around

Network and rack UPS units, protected power, surge protection, and controlled shutdown where the equipment supports it.

What JackNat can do

  • Keep gateway, switches, Wi-Fi, cameras, and automation running through brief outages
  • Size UPS coverage to the rack—not a single power strip under a desk
  • Pair surge protection with orderly shutdown for NVRs and controllers when appropriate
Ask about this
Works together

One house, not a pile of apps

These are examples of how systems can coordinate. Not every device supports every action, and we will not claim that they do. The point is a home that can take a few meaningful states—not fourteen separate remotes.

Example

Movie Night

A single request that can lower shades, dim Lutron lighting, power the TV and source, bring up Sonos or the soundbar, settle nearby lamps, and optionally ease the climate—so the room is ready to watch.

Example

Goodnight

Common lights off, a check that exterior doors are closed, shades to a nighttime position, thermostats to a sleep setpoint, TV and audio off, selected exterior lighting on, and the house in a nighttime state.

Example

Away

Selected lights off, climate to an away setpoint, shades as you prefer for privacy or sun, entertainment stopped, door and window status available, and camera notification behavior that matches an empty house.

Bring what you have

Already have smart-home technology?

We evaluate what is already in the house before recommending replacement. Rip-and-replace is not the default. If a speaker, thermostat, or camera can participate usefully, we would rather integrate it.

  • Existing Wi-Fi and network gear
  • Sonos and other audio
  • TVs and streaming devices
  • Lighting systems and dimmers
  • Thermostats and HVAC controls
  • Cameras and video doorbells
  • Locks, sensors, and garage gear
  • Connected appliances
  • Voice assistants already in use
  • Irrigation and outdoor controls

How projects often take shape

Foundation, Integrated, Signature

These are possibilities—not rigid packages, SKUs, or one-price bundles. Homes start at different points and grow. We will map a scope to what you need, not sell a canned kit.

Scope 1 Foundation

A network and lighting backbone you can live on

Structured networking, managed whole-home Wi-Fi, a proper rack, smart lighting, and basic automation. The house becomes reliable and controllable without taking on every system at once.

  • Designed Wi-Fi, switching, and equipment-room fundamentals
  • Thoughtful lighting control and a few everyday scenes
  • Room to add audio, cameras, and shades later without rework
Scope 2 Integrated

The rooms start behaving as one home

Networking plus lighting, Sonos, cameras, climate, shades, and a unified dashboard. Cross-system scenes become practical because the pieces are installed as a stack, not as leftover apps.

  • Audio, Protect-style cameras, climate, and motorized shades as first-class systems
  • Home Assistant (or equivalent) as the homeowner-facing layer
  • Documentation so the investment stays understandable
Scope 3 Signature

Architectural lighting, distributed A/V, indoor and out

Advanced lighting including Ketra where it belongs, automated shades throughout, distributed AV, indoor/outdoor entertainment, advanced scenes, centralized equipment, and a custom control interface tailored to the household.

  • Invisible technology: racks, pathways, and finishes that disappear
  • Property-wide coverage—Wi-Fi, cameras, audio, and lighting
  • Scenes and UI designed around how this family actually lives
