Smart Home, Lighting & AV in Short Hills and Millburn.

Cave Group does. We are a Crestron Elite Gold Partner and Lutron Gold Dealer with an office in Fairview, Bergen County, and we design, install, and service lighting control, shades, cinema, audio, networking, security, and backup power for houses in Short Hills and Millburn, from gut renovations to teardowns and new builds.

During design development, before the electrical and millwork drawings are final. Lighting control changes the panel schedule, shade pockets change the framing, the equipment room needs a place with cooling and a power feed, and Millburn's permit covers the wiring, so the technology drawings go in with the rest of the set rather than after it.

Ida brought the Rahway River to near-moderate flood stage in 2021, with road closures and water rescues in Millburn. We place the rack, the transfer switch, and the generator with the flood maps in hand, which usually means off the basement floor, and keep the network on battery so the cameras and the alarm stay up through an outage.

New Jersey has no separate low-voltage license. Wiring that ties into the building's electrical system, which includes the circuits that feed a rack, a shade transformer, or a lighting panel, is done by or under a state-licensed electrical contractor, and burglar and fire alarm work needs a separate business license from the state's Burglar Alarm, Fire Alarm and Locksmith Advisory Committee, with every installer registered and fingerprinted. We plan every North Jersey project to comply with both.

Verizon Fios reaches most of these towns, Optimum is building fiber at up to 8 gigabits in several of them, and Xfinity serves parts of Morris County. We confirm what reaches the address, and on larger properties we design for two connections with automatic failover, so a single outage does not take the house offline.
