Designed for Luxury. Backed by Concierge Service.
Luxury Smart Home Design & Installation
Lighting, shading, audio, video, security, and networking, engineered as one seamless system for luxury residences across Seattle, Bellevue, Mercer Island, and worldwide.
Invisible Integration. Uncompromising Luxury.
VIP Smart Homes engineers complete smart home ecosystems for luxury residences. Lighting, shading, audio, video, security, networking, and whole home automation, designed to work as one seamless, invisible system.
Every project is built around one principle: the most sophisticated technology is the kind you never have to think about. It simply works. And if something ever does need attention, we are here night and day, backed by unmatched service and a custom app that keeps your entire system inventory at your fingertips. We are authorized dealers for the brands shown above, though we are never limited to them.
Lighting & Shading
RadioRA 3 retrofits without opening walls, HomeWorks for new builds, shades with either. Ketra takes it further, following the sun through the day so the light matches what your body expects.
Explore Lutron →Whole Home Audio
Pair Sonos Amp Multi with Focal architectural speakers throughout the home, or Stealth Acoustics where they need to vanish into drywall entirely. In ceiling, in wall, or outdoors.
Explore Audio →Kaleidescape, Home Theater & Displays
Streaming compresses. Kaleidescape does not, so you get true 4K bitrate and lossless studio master audio with no discs. Plus projection, screens, and calibration for the room itself.
Explore Kaleidescape →Smart Home Automation
Josh.ai, Control4, Crestron Home, Apple Home, or another platform, chosen for your home rather than ours. Automation runs locally, so scenes and schedules keep working when the internet drops.
Explore Control →Security & Surveillance
UniFi Protect records locally with no monthly fee. Ring 4K cameras and video doorbells where you want a familiar app and package alerts. Cameras, locks, and lights respond together.
Explore Security →Enterprise Networking
We clean up the cable mess, terminate and label every run, and configure it properly on UniFi. Wi-Fi 7 that reaches every room, inside and out, monitored and supported 24/7 after the install.
Explore Networking →Your Whole Home, Inventoried in One App
We have seen it hundreds of times. An integrator comes in, installs a ton of equipment, then leaves, and you have no idea what you have or where any of it goes. Our custom app solves this. Every VIP Smart Homes support member gets a private app with a complete inventory of their home, every system, device, model, and serial number documented in one place, so you always know exactly what you own and we do too.
From the same app you get a direct line to our team, the ability to report anything with a quick photo, and a front of the line spot for service. It is one more way we stay close to the homes we care for, day or night.

One Company. Every System. Completely Integrated.
Most smart homes are assembled from disconnected parts. A lighting app here, a camera app there, a speaker that works sometimes, and a thermostat no one knows how to use. The result is complexity disguised as convenience.
We do the opposite. VIP Smart Homes designs unified ecosystems where your lighting, shading, audio, video, climate, security, and networking share a single brain.
One button on a keypad, or one phrase with Josh.ai voice control, can dim the lights, lower the shades, start your music, arm the alarm, and lock the doors simultaneously. That's not a collection of devices. That's a home that understands how you live.
Outdoor Living. Offices. Yachts. Anywhere.
Our expertise extends beyond interior rooms. We integrate audio, architectural lighting, and motorized shading into outdoor entertaining areas, pool decks, and terraces, so your music, scenes, and shades flow seamlessly between indoor and out.
Beyond residential, we also outfit conference rooms, executive offices, mega yachts, and private aircraft, with Zoom certified video conferencing, BSS audio processing for large venue sound, and Christie projection for screening rooms. If it has walls and people inside it, we can make it smarter.
From Vision to Reality
We visit your home or review your plans, then create a detailed system design with a clear, itemized scope. No surprises. No hidden costs.
All hardware sourced through professional distribution. Everything pre configured and tested in our facility before we arrive at your home.
Certified technicians handle every cable run, rack build, mount, and configuration. We work cleanly and leave your home exactly as we found it, except smarter.
We walk you through every system until you're confident. Then we remain available around the clock for remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and on site service whenever you need us.
Built on a Standard Most Integrators Never Encounter
VIP Smart Homes was founded by Mike Hayertz, who spent a decade leading residential technology for Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen and brings over twenty years of luxury smart home experience to every project. That environment demanded absolute reliability, zero tolerance for failure, and total discretion.
Mike carries one conviction from every business he has built: if you have a good product and excellent service, you will always be a success. That standard, plus one simple commitment, is what every VIP Smart Homes client receives. If you call, we answer.
Seattle based with global reach. Our primary service area includes Seattle, Bellevue, Medina, Mercer Island, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point, Yarrow Point, Bainbridge Island, and the greater Puget Sound region. For clients with properties outside the Pacific Northwest, including global estates, vacation homes, and marine vessels, we design and install worldwide with the same uncompromising standard.
