Smart Home, Lighting & AV in Southampton.

Cave Group does. We are a Crestron Elite Gold Partner and Lutron Gold Dealer with an office in Long Island City, and in 2024 we completed a Southampton waterfront residence with Lutron HomeWorks QSX, Crestron 4-Series control, UniFi Wi-Fi 7 that reaches the marina, and distributed audio indoors and out with Coastal Source.

Yes, when the street can see them. The Architectural Review Board rules on exterior changes, and the courts have backed it even against work already under way. We draw the exterior devices for the application, keep the equipment inside the envelope, and specify fixtures that the board recognizes as part of the architecture rather than hardware bolted on.

With monitoring and redundancy. Cave Watch watches the network, the control system, audio-video, and lighting around the clock and fixes most faults remotely; central-station alarm monitoring and live guard video monitoring stack on the same plan. The network carries a second connection, often Starlink, and the rack sits on battery backup, so a winter outage does not leave the house dark to us.

Across much of the East End, Optimum is the only wired provider and there is no Verizon Fios. We confirm what reaches the address, and we design the network with Starlink or a second carrier as automatic failover, so the cameras, the remote access, and the house itself survive a cut.

Everything outdoors becomes marine-grade, and everything electrical moves above the flood line: the Village applies V-zone rules even in the coastal A-zones, and Sandy put three feet of water on a Meadow Lane ground floor. The rack, the transfer switch, and outdoor electronics sit above the base flood elevation, and the generator goes through the Town's permit.
