An Automated Luxury Lifestyle, Customized for Texans by Hooked Up Installs
You can do more than upgrade devices—upgrade the way you live!
Hooked Up Installs designs smart home systems tailored to how you actually use your home—indoors and out, morning to night.
Using intuitive technology like Josh.ai, we bring natural voice control to the systems you use most: lighting, motorized shades, home audio, video, climate, security, and more. From Central Austin lofts to Lakeway estates, we help you effortlessly control your home without needing to learn complicated remotes or overwhelm yourself with technical knowledge.
Benefits at a Glance:
- Hands-Free Living: Dim the lights, cue the playlist, and adjust the thermostat with a simple voice command.
- Designed for Austin Living: Whether you’re shielding from the Texas sun or setting the mood for your next dinner party, the experience is tailored to your lifestyle and surroundings.
- All-in-One Control: Manage everything from a single, intuitive interface without hopping between apps.
- Entertainment, Elevated: Turn movie night into a full theater experience or bring music to every room in the house.
Control Systems for Connected Austin Living
When it comes to smart home automation in Austin, the control system is the heartbeat of the home. At Hooked Up Installs, we design our systems around Josh—a natural voice control solution that’s intuitive and privacy-forward. Unlike other assistants, Josh doesn’t sell or store your data, and it understands context, allowing you to say, “dim the lights and start my playlist,” without repeating yourself or having to remember clunky phrasing.
For homes with existing platforms, we also handle Control4 takeovers, refining and upgrading legacy systems to seamlessly unify all devices.
A properly integrated control system brings together lighting, motorized shades, audio, video, networking, climate, and security into a single, elegant interface. Our systems make it easy to juggle busy schedules, remote work, and frequent travel. Just trigger a whole-house routine, like “Morning” or “Movie Night,” with one touch or command. Whether you’re downtown in a high-rise or in the suburbs, we make smart home living simpler.
Lighting Control Designed for Austin Sun and Comfort
Lighting isn’t just about on and off. With custom home automation systems from Hooked Up Installs, lighting becomes a tool for energy savings, ambiance, and comfort. Our lighting control scenes can adjust automatically based on the time of day or your personal routines.
In a city like Austin, with its strong afternoon glare and long warm seasons, automated dimming and daylight sensors help maintain comfort while reducing cooling costs. Whether you’re working from home in a sun-filled open floor plan or entertaining friends as day turns into night, your lights adjust to support your lifestyle.
We design lighting that transitions with you: welcoming in the morning, calm and cool in the afternoon, and cozy in the evening. And the best part? It’s all controllable with a button tap, schedule, or voice command.
Motorized Shades for Heat, Glare, and Privacy in Central Texas
Floor-to-ceiling windows and hillside views are part of what makes Central Texas homes beautiful, but they can also invite in too much sun, heat, and prying eyes. Motorized shades, blinds, and drapery offer a stylish, automated solution that enhances comfort and privacy.
Our custom home automation systems integrate shades into your whole-home setup, allowing for precise control based on time, temperature, or occasion. In densely populated neighborhoods where homes are closely spaced, automated shades provide instant privacy without requiring cords or drawing attention. For homes with modern architecture, they preserve clean lines while improving energy efficiency.
Set shades to lower during peak heat hours, or close automatically as the sun sets to keep indoor temperatures cooler and protect your furniture and finishes from sun damage.
Whole-Home Audio for Texas’ Music Capital
In the Live Music Capital of the World, your home should sound as good as the city you live in. Our fully integrated technology systems deliver high-quality multi-room and outdoor audio, perfectly synced and professionally tuned to fit your unique Austin spaces.
Whether you’re streaming Willie Nelson in the kitchen or hosting a backyard party near Zilker Park, we help you fill every corner of your property with high-performance sound. Our expert AV designers blend speakers so they become invisible in the room; the focus stays on the music, not the equipment.
Austin’s love for entertaining, from intimate dinners to backyard gatherings, makes multi-room audio setups an essential upgrade. Best of all, music controls integrate into your full system—so your “Entertain” scene can lower lights, start a playlist, and adjust the temperature within seconds.
Home Theater and Media Rooms for Austin Homes
From weekend movie nights to Sunday football marathons, Austin homeowners are investing in home theaters and media rooms that do more than merely entertain. Hooked Up Installs creates immersive entertainment spaces that the entire family will enjoy!
Using voice or a single control interface, you can activate a “Movie” scene that dims the lights, closes the shades, adjusts the temperature, and powers on all your AV gear without touching five different remotes.
In a city renowned for its tech-savvy residents and love of streaming, demand for dedicated media spaces is on the rise. Whether you’re building new in the suburbs or updating a space in central Austin, we’ll design your home theater to support streaming, sports, and gaming alike.
Reliable Home Networking for the Austin Metro
Everything in your smart home relies on one thing: a rock-solid network. As Austin continues to grow, so do our device counts—with smart TVs, security cameras, climate control, and more—making network performance more important than ever.
We engineer networks designed to support high device density, heavy streaming, and reliable remote work. Multi-story homes, expansive lots, and outdoor living areas all benefit from seamless coverage and enterprise-grade reliability.
Whether you’re attending a Zoom call in the home office, streaming Netflix on the living room TV, or controlling pool lighting from your phone, you need a network that performs without lag or dropouts. Our systems ensure your smart home isn’t just “smart”—it’s intelligent and reliable.
