Smart Home Automation
Control4 ties lighting, comfort, security, and entertainment into scenes a family will actually use. One app. One keypad. Voice when you want it. Quiet when you do not.

Control4, Audio, Cinema, Shades and Fiber Optic Networks
Quantum builds the invisible layer of a modern house in Merritt Island and across the Space Coast. Control4 automation, Lutron shades, private cinema, high-end audio, and a fiber network fast enough to carry all of it.
Two divisions. One house.
The home should already know what you meant.
Quantum Smart Home Automation is the experience. Quantum Fiber is our networking division that uses state-of-the-art Technology. Lighting, shades, climate, locks, cameras, music, and cinema only feel effortless when the wire behind them is engineered, not improvised. We work new construction before drywall, and we retrofit houses that already have Cat5 in the walls.
Quantum Fiber
Our networking division replaces aging Cat5 and tired Cat6 backbones with fiber, multi-gig switching, and Wi-Fi designed room by room. The rack looks as considered as the room it serves.
Control4
One system. Every room that matters.
Control4 is the operating system of the house. Quantum designs the keypad layouts, the scenes, and the equipment so the technology disappears after the walkthrough.
01
Lighting scenes
Dinners, late night, artwork, and pathways. Keypads replace banks of switches. Colors and levels are programmed, not left to an app you will forget.
02
Shades & climate
Motorized shades track the sun. Thermostats leave setback when you leave and recover before you walk in. Pool and spa join the same scenes.
03
Locks, cameras, gates
Arrival, away, and goodnight include the doors. Cameras and notifications live beside the lights, not in a second ecosystem.
04
Voice, on your terms
Ask for a scene. Do not ask the house to become a speaker in every room unless you want that. Voice is a convenience, not the only control.
05
Touch & remote
Wall panels, handheld remotes, and phones share the same logic. A guest can start a movie without a tutorial.
06
Built to be serviced
Racks are labeled. Drivers are documented. When you add a room later, the system extends instead of being replaced.
What the house can do
Scenes, not switches.
These are the kinds of moments Quantum programs. Press one and the property answers.
Arrive
The driveway washes on as you turn in. The garage opens, the lock releases, and the house shifts from away-mode to evening. Path lights, foyer, and a favorite playlist come up together. Climate is already where you left it.
Private cinema
The lights dim. The room takes over.
The lights dim. The picture fills your view. Voices land in the room, then the score swells and the low end arrives as pressure, not noise. You are not at the multiplex. You are home, without the sticky floor.
Quantum still builds the room that started the company: acoustics, seating, masking, projection or a direct-view screen, and Atmos that is aimed, not just installed. Control4 runs the whole sequence so the only decision left is what to watch.
“Controlling our home with just our voices is unbelievable and absolutely the coolest. We love it.”T. Vonyellis
High-end audio
The equipment we design around.
A reference seat when the room calls for it, and music that does not stop at the door. These are the lines Quantum specifies, places, and tunes.
Equipment we use
- McIntosh amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and source components for a dedicated listening room or a statement living room.
- MartinLogan electrostatic and hybrid speakers, plus architectural models where the panel look belongs in the design.
- Wilson Audio floorstanding speakers for rooms that are built around the seat, not the other way around.
- Bowers & Wilkins 700 and 800 Series, Formation, and in-wall or in-ceiling models when the architecture has to stay quiet.
- Sonos Amp, Port, Arc, and architectural speakers for kitchens, suites, lanais, and rooms that should just play.
- Control4 audio distribution so every one of those rooms shares scenes, volume, and sources with the rest of the house.
Quantum Fiber · Networking
Cat5 and Cat6 were a chapter. Fiber is the backbone.
Smart homes fail in the walls. A camera, a shade hub, four access points, and a theater source all competing on old copper is why the app feels slow. Quantum Fiber redesigns the path from the rack to the room.
| Aging Cat5 / Cat6 | Quantum Fiber | |
|---|---|---|
| Backbone | 1 GbE, often shared | Fiber between rack, wings, and outbuildings |
| Theater & office | Buffering, dropped frames | Multi-gig to the rooms that need it |
| Wi-Fi | One router in a closet | Wired access points, designed coverage |
| Distance | Copper limits and noise | Fiber across the property |
| Future | Pull it again in five years | Swap optics, keep the glass |
Pull
Survey first
We map what Cat5 and Cat6 can stay, and what has to become fiber. Not every drop needs glass. The backbone does.
Glass
Fiber runs
Single-mode or multimode between the main rack, a theater closet, a guest house, and the gate, terminated and tested.
Air
Wi-Fi that holds
Access points on wire, placed for plaster, tile, and impact glass. Guest, IoT, and private networks stay apart.
Rack
A finished closet
Switching, Control4 core, power, and patching dressed so the next service call takes minutes, not an afternoon.
Networking we install
- New construction pulls for data, access points, cameras, and control before the drywall goes up.
- Cat5 upgrades to Cat6A for the usual room drop, and fiber for the backbone. Cat7 and Cat8 only on a short, high-speed link when the run actually needs it.
- Fiber as the backbone between the main rack, theater, guest house, and gate. Glass stays. Optics change later.
- Wi-Fi on wire, not a single router in a closet. Ubiquiti UniFi, Netgear, and Luxul access points, placed for plaster, tile, and impact glass.
Access Control
The door should know who is there.
Access control is the gate, the front door, and the service entrance on one system. A visitor is seen before the lock moves. A resident gets in with a phone, a credential, or a code. Quantum designs Butterfly, PDK, and UniFi so the hardware matches the property.
Butterfly
Video at the door
ButterflyMX puts a camera and a directory at the entrance. Residents answer on a phone, grant a visitor pass, or release the door without walking to it. Built for front entries, lobbies, and staffed or unstaffed gates.
PDK
Credentials that travel
ProdataKey is cloud access control. Readers, door controllers, and mobile credentials live in one panel. Add a door, revoke a code, or check a log without a server in the closet.
UniFi
Doors on the network
UniFi Access sits on the same Ubiquiti network as the Wi-Fi. Hubs, readers, and gate controllers cover pedestrian doors, vehicle gates, and garage doors, with cameras on the same system when the property wants one app.
Smart Shades
The glass should work for the room.
Motorized shades are how a Florida house handles sun, privacy, and a theater that has to go dark. Quantum specifies Lutron, Screen Innovations, and Draper, then ties them to Control4 so a scene moves the fabric with the lights.
Lutron
Quiet, whole-home
Lutron Sivoia and Palladiom shades for the rooms people live in. Quiet motors, fabric matched to the interior, and keypads that already run the lights.
Screen Innovations
Blackout and screens
Screen Innovations blackout shades for theaters and media rooms, plus motorized screens when the picture and the window are the same wall.
Draper
FlexShade rollers
Draper FlexShade and dual rollers when a window needs a sheer for the day and a privacy or blackout shade behind it.
Security Camera Systems
See the property. Keep the picture.
Cameras, gates, and the front door. Quantum places Ubiquiti UniFi Protect, Luma, and Hikvision so the driveway, gate, dock, and doors are covered, and the recording lives on the house network. Access control is the lock and the reader beside those cameras.
Ubiquiti
UniFi Protect
Dome, bullet, and doorbell cameras on the same UniFi network as the Wi-Fi. Recording stays on a Protect console in the rack.
Luma
Luma surveillance
Luma IP cameras and recorders for a dedicated system, including Control4 homes. Domes under eaves and an NVR in the closet.
Hikvision
Hikvision
ColorVu and AcuSense cameras, plus an NVR, when the job wants strong night color and a large camera count. PoE home-runs back to the rack.
Wire
PoE, not Wi-Fi toys
Coverage is drawn for the gate, garage, entries, and the water side before a single camera is mounted.
Examples
Fifteen rooms a house like this asks for.
Multi-million-dollar homes, pool decks, 150-inch theaters, and microLED walls.
01 · Estate automation
Control4 across a waterfront house. Arrival, lighting, shades, climate, and the pool on one system.
02 · 150-inch cinema
A dedicated theater, masking, Atmos, and a Control4 scene that drops the lights and starts the picture.
03 · MicroLED wall
A bezel-free microLED cinema wall for rooms that want daylight brightness and no projector.
04 · Pool screen
A big outdoor TV at the water, with landscape lighting and audio that does not shout across the canal.
05 · Lanai entertainment
Outdoor kitchen, pool, and a weather-rated screen. One Entertain scene runs lights, fans, and sound.
06 · Sports lounge
MicroLED or a large direct-view screen, a bar, and audio tuned for a game, not a movie.
07 · Great room scenes
Layered lighting, shades, and hidden speakers. Evening, art, and late-night on the keypad.
08 · Reference listening
McIntosh, Wilson, MartinLogan, or Bowers & Wilkins, placed for the seat and left alone.
09 · Kitchen and suite
Morning light, news, and music that follow the house from the primary suite to coffee.
10 · Waterfront night
Pool, palms, and landscape on a schedule. Away mode kills the audio and leaves a path lit.
11 · Whole-property lighting
Interior, facade, and grounds as one Control4 project. No second app for the outside.
12 · Estate network
Fiber between the main rack, theater, and guest house. Cat6A to rooms. Wi-Fi on wire.
13 · New construction prewire
Data, fiber, access points, and theater conduits pulled before the drywall.
14 · Gate and front door
Butterfly, PDK, or UniFi at the entry. See the visitor, then release the gate.
15 · Family cinema
A second, smaller room. Same Control4 logic, a 120- to 150-inch picture, and seats the house actually uses.
How a project moves
From walkthrough to the first scene.
01Walk the house. Listen for what you actually do at 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.
02Draw lighting, audio, cinema, and the fiber paths before a single box is ordered.
03Install, terminate, and program. Then we sit in the seats and tune it.
04Handover. Your family can run the house without us in the room.
