Automation Capabilities
What Your Home Automation System Controls
A properly designed home automation system integrates every technology in your Charlotte home into a unified, intelligent ecosystem.
Lighting Control
Savant Metropolitan keypads and dimmers in premium finishes. Scene-based programming, circadian tuning, pathway lighting, and vacancy simulation — all controlled from wall keypads, your phone, or voice.
Climate Automation
Intelligent HVAC zone management that adjusts temperature based on occupancy, time of day, and seasonal patterns. Your home is always comfortable without manual thermostat adjustments.
Distributed Audio
Multi-zone music throughout your home with independent source and volume control per room. Native streaming from Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, and high-resolution audio sources.
Motorized Shading
Automated shade and drapery control tied to sun position, time of day, and media scenes. Protect furnishings from UV exposure while managing privacy and energy efficiency.

Camera feeds, door locks, alarm systems, and gate access unified within your Savant interface. View cameras on any touchscreen, receive alerts, and manage access remotely.
Energy Management
Real-time energy monitoring, load management, and integration with Savant Power modules. Track consumption by circuit and optimize usage patterns for long-term efficiency.
Remote Access
Secure remote control of your entire home from anywhere in the world. Check camera feeds, adjust climate, lock doors, and activate scenes — all from your phone or Apple Watch.

Custom scenes tailored to your daily routines: 'Good Morning' raises shades and starts coffee bar lighting; 'Entertaining' dims dining, starts patio music, and opens motorized screens.
Home Automation for Charlotte's Luxury Market
Charlotte's residential landscape is uniquely suited for sophisticated home automation. New construction throughout Ballantyne, Marvin, and Weddington features pre-wired infrastructure that supports enterprise-grade Savant systems from day one. These homes benefit from hardwired keypads, in-wall touchscreens, and dedicated equipment rooms designed into the architecture.
In established Charlotte neighborhoods — Myers Park, Eastover, Foxcroft, and Dilworth — home automation retrofits require a different approach. Savant's wireless architecture allows us to deliver comprehensive control without disruptive renovation. We install wireless keypads, retrofit dimmers, and wireless shade motors that integrate seamlessly with existing electrical systems and millwork.
Lake Norman waterfront properties present unique automation opportunities. Multi-structure estates with main homes, guest cottages, boat houses, and pool pavilions benefit from Savant's ability to unify all structures under a single system. Control lighting, audio, climate, and security across every building from one app — whether you're in the main house, entertaining at the pool pavilion, or arriving by boat.
Charlotte's climate — hot, humid summers and mild winters — makes climate automation particularly valuable. Intelligent HVAC scheduling, zone-by-zone temperature management, and occupancy-based adjustments reduce energy waste while maintaining optimal comfort throughout the day. Motorized shading tied to sun position further reduces cooling loads during Charlotte's intense summer afternoons.
New Construction & Retrofit Automation
The most impactful home automation projects begin during the design phase of new construction. When we engage alongside your architect and builder, we produce technology schematics and pre-wire plans that ensure every keypad location, speaker position, shade pocket, and cable run is coordinated before drywall goes up. This approach saves 20–40% compared to retrofit work and results in a cleaner, more architecturally integrated installation.
For existing Charlotte homes, we design retrofit automation that respects the home's character. In a historic Myers Park estate, that means wireless Savant keypads in existing switch plates, retrofit shade motors concealed within existing window treatments, and wireless speakers that avoid cutting into ornamental plaster ceilings. The goal is comprehensive automation without visible compromise.
Whether new construction or retrofit, every Peters Audio Video automation project includes detailed system documentation, hands-on training for every family member, and ongoing concierge support to ensure your system continues to operate flawlessly long after installation.
