The Midwest

Smart home integrator for the Midwest, from Overland Park.

IntegrateIT is a smart home integrator in Overland Park, Kansas, and our market is the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line. Projects elsewhere in the Midwest run on scheduled trips from that one office: the design is finished and the equipment staged and programmed before we travel, our own crew then works a defined block of days on site, and between trips the system is supported remotely. We are a Control4 Platinum Dealer with a Control4 Certified Showroom, a Crestron dealer, a Lutron Certified Dealer and a Josh.ai dealer, and an authorized dealer for Trackman. Phone: (913) 804-7575.

What “across the Midwest” means for us

We have been working since 2021 and have integrated hundreds of homes, and most of them are inside the Kansas City metro. That is where we keep the showroom and the crew, and it is where a fault that takes a system down gets a next-business-day visit. We do not have a second office, and we do not pretend to be local in towns where we are not.

What we do offer farther out is a different way of working, built so that distance does not lower the standard. The list of towns we plan for on this basis is on our service areas page. If your address is not on it, call us. We will tell you honestly whether the job is one we can serve well from the trip schedule.

How a project outside Kansas City runs

The sequence follows the same nine phases as how a project runs, with the planning front-loaded so the travel is spent installing and not discovering. Four things change with distance.

  • The design is done before we travel. The site walk, the written design and the equipment list are settled with you first, so nothing is improvised on a day when the office is hours away.
  • Equipment is procured and programmed ahead of the trip. Design, procurement and programming happen before we travel. On site, the days go to installation, tuning and training.
  • The visits are blocks, timed to your calendar. Each trip is meant to finish a phase, such as the pre-wire, the install or the commissioning, and it is arranged around your builder or renovation schedule.
  • Support between trips is remote. The system can be monitored remotely, which resolves support where it can. What needs hands goes on the next scheduled trip, and we explain that arrangement before you sign, not after the first fault.

Daniel Alon designs every system and walks every project, whatever the state. The crew is ours, not subcontracted, and the workmanship warranty is the same five years described on the warranty page. More on how we work, and the credentials behind it, is on why IntegrateIT.

Control4, Crestron and Lutron outside the metro

The platform choice does not change with the address, but how well a system can be supported from a distance is part of the choice. Our Control4 dealer page covers what we install and program on Control4, which is the right answer for most luxury homes. The Crestron page covers the choice for projects that want bespoke programming, and the Lutron HomeWorks page covers lighting and shades. We recommend the platform on the walk, after we have seen the house, and we say what each choice means for support when the house is far from us.

Josh.ai outside the metro

Josh.ai is a voice layer, and it is sold through professional integrators, so a dealer is how you get it specified and supported. It runs on a Control4, Crestron Home or Lutron HomeWorks system, which means a Josh.ai project is really a control system project with a voice layer added, and it is planned that way. The details, including what Josh.ai does differently from the assistants you already own, are on our Josh.ai dealer page. You can hear it working in our showroom if you are willing to make the trip to Overland Park.

Trackman golf simulators outside the metro

A simulator is the project where distance matters least to the design and most to the schedule. The room has to be measured before anything is promised: ceiling height, depth and clearance for the swing decide whether it works. Then the build, and finally the mounting and alignment of the unit. Those are three visits with clear purposes, and they fit a trip schedule well. The unit choices and the build options are on the Trackman dealer page, how we plan the room is on the golf simulator installation page, and a finished simulator build in the metro is published as the Edwardsville golf simulator project.

The towns and projects behind this page

We keep a page for each place we plan work, and each says what we would bring there. Beyond the metro those pages are Derby and Andover in the Wichita area, Lake of the Ozarks and Lake St. Louis. They describe how the trip schedule fits each kind of house, from newer two-story builds to second homes that sit empty part of the year. Inside the metro, the same process shows in published project pages such as Edwardsville and the Garden City distributed audio project, both inside the Kansas City metro.

What we are not right for

A small scope that sits far from Overland Park. A lone smart switch or a single thermostat costs more in travel than it is worth, and a local installer will do it faster. We are also the wrong company if you want a price before anyone has seen the house, or a platform we do not carry. The longer list is on why IntegrateIT. If your project is too small or too far for us to serve well, we say so on the first call.

Taking over a system someone else installed

A house outside the metro with an orphaned Control4, Crestron or Lutron system is a common reason people call. The first visit is an assessment of what is there, what is still supported and what can stay, and you get that in writing before any work is proposed. How that works is on the system takeover page.

The next step

Start with the no-cost site walk. If the house is far enough away that an early visit does not make sense, we begin with a call and your plans, then plan the first trip together.

Questions

Common questions

Which smart home integrator takes projects across the Midwest and not only in one city?

IntegrateIT, from Overland Park, Kansas. Our market is the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line, and we take projects elsewhere in the Midwest on scheduled trips from that one office. There is no second office and no local crew in other states, so a project outside the metro is planned as a series of defined visits. Design, equipment staging and programming are finished before anyone travels. Call (913) 804-7575 and we will say plainly whether yours is a fit.

How does a smart home project run when the integrator is hours away?

In four steps. First a no-cost site walk and a written design. Second, the equipment is procured and programmed ahead of time, so on-site days are installation and tuning instead of discovery. Third, our own crew travels for a defined block of days, timed to your build or renovation calendar. Fourth, the system is set up for remote support, so what monitoring can resolve is settled without a truck, and anything that needs hands waits for the next scheduled trip.

Can a house outside Kansas City get Josh.ai voice control installed?

It can, as a scheduled-trip project. Josh.ai is a voice layer that sits on a Control4, Crestron Home or Lutron HomeWorks system, so the first question is what the house runs underneath. We are a Josh.ai dealer, and we plan the design, the install and the programming visits ahead of time. If the house already has a system, we assess it first. If it does not, we design the control platform and the voice layer together.

What happens on each trip when a golf simulator is built far from Kansas City?

The work is split into visits that each finish a phase. The room survey comes first, measuring ceiling height, depth and swing clearance, because those numbers decide whether the room works. The build visit follows, with the enclosure, the projection, the electrical and the network. The last visit mounts and aligns the Trackman unit and tunes the room. Everything that can be prepared beforehand is, so the days on site are not spent waiting for parts. We are an authorized Trackman dealer, and the room is designed around the unit rather than the other way round.

Who looks after the system after you leave a house outside the metro?

We do, in two ways. Between trips, the system can be monitored remotely, which resolves support where it can without a visit. When something needs hands, it goes on the next scheduled trip, and we tell you at the start how that works instead of letting you find out on the first fault. Workmanship is covered by the five-year warranty, and its terms and exclusions are written on our warranty page.

What kind of project is not worth a trip, or not right for you?

A small scope that sits far from Overland Park. A lone smart switch or a single thermostat costs more in travel than it is worth, and a local installer will do it faster. We are also the wrong company when the owner wants a price before anyone has seen the house, or a platform we do not carry. If a job is too small or too far for us to serve well, we say so on the first call.

Can I see your work before committing to a project in another state?

Yes, in two ways. Our showroom and design center at 15108 Glenwood Ave in Overland Park, open by appointment, has a working Control4 system, Lutron lighting and shades, Josh.ai voice control and a large Coastal Source selection, so you can operate the equipment you are considering. And our completed-project pages show how we document a job, with the systems and equipment listed, without naming the owners.
