Sync and Sense | Smart Home Integration in NYC & Northern New Jersey

Overview

One system, tuned to how you actually live.

We bring lighting, climate, shades, audio, security, and energy together into one system, tuned to how you actually live. Wall switches work the way they always have. Use your phone, your voice assistant, or both, and the house responds the way you'd expect without you having to think about it.

Whether it's a few well-placed automations in an existing home or a full system with hundreds of devices in new construction, you get one accountable partner for strategy, design, installation, and everything after.

Who we are

Technologists and pragmatists, not salespeople.

We won't talk you into a complicated system you don't need. Often the right answer is simpler than you'd expect.

We do this because we love it, and we'd rather build something you use every day than something that just looks impressive on an invoice.

We're open and flexible in how we work with you. We'll recommend the best-quality products for every part of the job and can handle procurement end to end. If you'd rather buy equipment yourself, that's fine too. We'll give you a clear spec list and integrate whatever arrives.

What we do

We design and run the project. Trade partners do the physical work.

Mounting
Installation to our specifications

Licensed electricians and low-voltage installers do the wiring, mounting, and installation to our specifications, under our supervision. That keeps overhead lean and puts our effort where it matters most: getting devices from different manufacturers to behave as if they were designed together.

How we build

Open by design. Never locked in.

We don't tie you into proprietary systems. We build on open-source automation platforms and generally favor open-source hardware and open standards, so your home is never locked to one manufacturer's catalog, pricing, or roadmap. Within that, we choose the best device for each job on its merits and make it work seamlessly with everything else. Your system can keep growing long after we've handed it over.

Our background is network engineering and software design, and it shows in systems that are secure by default, reliable under load, and easy to adjust without a service call.

We work with the latest tools available, which gives us more flexibility in how we design and gives your home more intelligence in how it runs. For clients who want to go further, we can build a home that learns your routines, anticipates what you need, and understands you when you speak to it naturally.

Principles

Seven principles guide every project.

In sync
Lighting, climate, and audio respond together, so rooms feel right without constant adjustment.
Quietly elegant
Technology serves the home rather than performing for it. Automations run in the background, and the wall switch still works.
Your controls, your choice
We design around the phone and voice assistant you already use. Voice adds to physical controls; it never replaces them.
Private by default
Processing stays local wherever possible, with the cloud used only where it genuinely adds value. Minimal data sharing, and full discretion with your home and information.
Secure by design
Network access, segmentation, and maintenance get the same rigor as the automations themselves.
Clear and calm
Consistent naming makes every control obvious. A notification means something needs your attention; otherwise, the house stays quiet.
Comfort without waste
Automations cut unnecessary heating, cooling, and lighting, always within your household's preferences.

How we work

Clear scope, fair pricing, and help when you need it.

Fixed-scope projects

Scoped in writing and priced upfront, from targeted lighting, climate, energy, or security packages to complete whole-home integration.

Ongoing care

A modest monthly plan covers remote monitoring, managed updates, backups, integration fixes, and small adjustments.

Priority support

Care-plan clients get fast remote response, with on-site visits handled by our trade partners when a problem needs hands in the room.

Who we serve

For homes that should simply work.

Homeowners who want a home that simply works and have no interest in becoming hobbyist technicians. Townhouses, condos, co-ops, and suburban homes, including buyers renovating before move-in.

We also work with architects, designers, and builders who want an integration partner their clients will thank them for.
