Smart Home Automation and Integration in South Florida
Smart home and automation
A smart home should make a large residence feel simple. Frangioni Media designs and engineers lighting, shades, climate, audio, video, security and networking into one reliable system for luxury homes across South Florida, controlled with a keypad, a touchscreen, your phone or your voice.
Innovation first. Frangioni Media designs with Crestron, Control4, Lutron and Ketra, Kaleidescape, madVR, Barco and LED video walls, and innovates with each one. David Frangioni has spent his career advancing audio, video and control technology, from the first 5.1 DTS surround music CD to turnkey Pro Tools studios and a CEDIA award record with Audio One, and every system we build reflects that experience.
What We Integrate
Choosing the Right Platform
Every home is different, so we recommend the control platform that fits the residence, the owner and the level of customization required. Our work and writing cover leading luxury platforms and technologies, including Crestron, Savant, Control4, Lutron lighting and shades, and voice control with Josh.ai. We explain the trade-offs in plain language and design for reliability first.
Designed for Florida
- Surge protection, battery backup and generator integration for hurricane season and summer storms.
- Shade automation tuned to sun exposure to reduce glare and heat gain.
- Outdoor audio, video and lighting built for salt air, sun and rain.
- Remote monitoring for seasonal homes that sit empty for months at a time.
Working With Your Design Team
Automation works best when it is planned with the architecture and interiors. We coordinate keypad and touchscreen locations, rack rooms, conduit and shade pockets with the architect, interior designer and builder. See our pages for architects, interior designers, builders and estate managers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a luxury smart home system?
Typically lighting control, motorized shades, whole-home audio and video, networking and Wi-Fi, climate control, security cameras, door locks and gate access, all brought together in one interface. The scope is designed around the home and the owner.
Which smart home platform is best for a luxury home?
It depends on the size of the home, the level of customization and how the owner wants to control it. We compare platforms such as Crestron, Savant and Control4, with Lutron for lighting and shades, and recommend the best fit rather than forcing one system on every home.
Can smart home systems help protect a Florida home during hurricane season?
Yes. With surge protection, battery backup, generator integration and remote monitoring, a smart home can protect equipment, alert you to outages and help you restart systems safely after a storm.
Do you serve all of South Florida?
Yes. We design and integrate smart homes in Palm Beach, Jupiter, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Miami Beach and Naples.
