Structured Wiring & Pre-Wire

Structured Wiring & Pre-Wire

The hidden foundation of every connected home — organized low-voltage cabling run during construction, so every system has clean, future-ready infrastructure.

Our specialty

Lighting is where we set ourselves apart.

Great lighting is the difference between a house and a home, a room and an experience. We design and program architectural, tunable, and circadian lighting that most integrators won’t attempt — balancing layers, scenes, and daylight so a space feels right at every hour.

  • Architectural & layered lighting design
  • Tunable white & circadian scenes
  • Lutron & Crestron lighting control
  • Landscape & outdoor lighting

Why homeowners and builders choose Ideal Automation.

The difference is in the craft, the technology, and the relationship.

Effortless touchscreen control

We design your home’s touchscreens in-house — beautiful, modern, and genuinely simple to use, so running your home is as easy as tapping your phone. Something virtually no other Arizona firm offers.

Lighting expertise

Lighting is our craft. We design and tune systems most integrators won’t attempt.

Single point of contact

One team designs, installs, programs, and supports your system end to end.

The industry’s best brands

Crestron, Control4, Savant, Lutron, and more — specified to fit your project, never one-size-fits-all.

Residential & commercial

From luxury homes to boardrooms and venues — limitless, scalable systems.

Service that lasts

Proactive monitoring and real humans on call, long after install day.

A relationship, not a transaction

We’re a close-knit local team, not a faceless corporation. We take the time to know you and your home, treat you like a neighbor, and stay close long after install day — so whenever you need us, you reach someone who already knows you by name.
