Modern luxury, explained

A connected home, room by room.

What better way to see the possibilities of automation than a cutaway of a whole house? From media control in the dedicated theater to smart security in the garage, these are the technologies that fit into a modern luxury home, and what each one does for the people living there.

Cutaway illustration of a connected luxury home

Around the house

Sixteen systems, one house.

Garage surveillance

Watch the garage and the driveway in real time, from the house or from the other side of the world.

Smart home technology

Simple, sophisticated control of music, video, lights, climate and more from one system.

Motorized window treatments

Shades and drapery that move on a schedule, with the sun, or at a touch.

Multi-room music

Any source, any room, or every room at once.

Voice recognition

Talk to the house: lights, security, entertainment.

Media room

Any space becomes a multi-purpose room with the latest audio and video.

Media control

Shows, movies and music from one remote or one app.

Lighting control

The right scene for the moment, and energy saved while doing it.

Video surveillance

Cameras where they matter, recorded and reachable.

Networking

A reliable, robust, secure network for communications and control. Everything above rides on it.

Outdoor entertainment

Music and TV outside, built to live outside.

Home theater

Pull the curtains back. A theater designed to impress.

High performance audio

Components chosen for how they sound, not how they look on a spec sheet.

Hidden audio and video

A television that is a picture frame until you want it to be a television.

Connected home

Every device on one network, working together.

Multi-room video

Cable, satellite, streaming and the game console, on any screen.

The part you do not see is the part County Line builds.

Every system above is wiring, power and network first. County Line pre-wires all of it on new construction and surveys existing homes to see what can be added cleanly. Home automation explains how.

Room by room

A walk through the house, as County Line would wire it.

Start at the gate: power and fiber to the keypad and camera, the intercom tied to the phones and the touch panels inside. The garage: cameras, the EV chargers on their own circuits, the network closet or the rack if it lives here, with cooling and a dedicated circuit. The kitchen and family room: Lutron keypads instead of switch banks, Ketra in the fixtures over the island, a television that is part of the wall, in-ceiling speakers on the whole-house audio, shades on the glass. The theater: a dedicated circuit for the rack, conduit to the projector and the screen, acoustic treatment and lighting scenes that the remote runs. The primary suite: a bedside keypad with Good Night on it, blackout and sheer shades in layers, Ketra that warms through the evening.

Outside: landscape lighting on the Lutron system, outdoor speakers and a weather-rated television by the pool, cameras at the corners of the property, and the generator on its pad with the network, the cameras and the gate on its circuits so the house stays watchable through a shutoff. All of it on a wired network with access points placed from a survey of the house. That is the dollhouse, built.

How to use this page

Walk the house, then pick three rooms.

The cutaway is a way to think, not a shopping list. Nobody needs all sixteen systems, and the houses County Line builds well are the ones where the owner chose the three or four that matter and did them properly. A family that entertains wants the outdoor audio, the lighting scenes and the kitchen television. A family with a long driveway wants the gate, the cameras and the intercom. A couple who travel want the cameras, the locks, the climate and a lighting schedule that makes the house look lived in.

Pick the rooms that matter and the systems that matter in them. That is the conversation to have with County Line, and it is a short one.

Where the demo came from

This is the same walkthrough the old site had, with the wiring explained.

The interactive dollhouse on County Line's previous website was built by a technology marketing company for smart home dealers, and it was a good way to show what a connected house can do. This page keeps the walkthrough and adds what the old one left out: that every one of those systems is a wiring plan first, that the network is the part that decides whether it works, and that the contractor who roughs in the house is the right one to put it all in. Home automation is the practical version.
