Austin + smart home automation — frequently asked.
How do you handle ERCOT grid instability in Austin?
Every Austin install includes generator and/or battery-backup integration on the network, processors, and lighting — so during ERCOT-triggered outages, the system continues to run and reports status. Away mode texts and app-alerts you when power drops and returns.
Can you integrate multi-building Hill Country ranch installs?
Yes. Ranch main-house + guest-house + barn + pool-house configurations are a recurring Central Texas project. We handle the fiber runs between buildings, RF-hardened Crestron and Savant control, distributed audio across all structures, and unified interface so scenes work across the entire property.
Do you integrate severe-weather awareness?
Yes. Our Austin installs integrate NOAA weather alerts with Crestron and Savant so severe-weather advisories can trigger scenes — close shades, secure perimeter cameras, illuminate safe-room hallway, notify family devices — automatically when a tornado warning enters the county.
Is Matrix Digital Systems an authorized Crestron dealer?
Yes. Matrix Digital Systems is a certified Crestron dealer and an authorized Josh.ai integrator. Michael Van Marel personally develops custom Crestron Home extension drivers and holds current Crestron programming credentials — rare in the residential integration business.
Do you also do the networking?
Yes. Every install includes a professionally designed network with managed switches, enterprise Wi-Fi (Ubiquiti UniFi, Ruckus, or Cisco Meraki), Cat6A structured cabling, and a UPS-backed rack. Networking is the foundation the rest of the automation stands on.
Can pool, spa, and irrigation be controlled from the same system?
Yes. Pentair, Jandy, Hayward, and Rain Bird all integrate with Crestron and Savant. Pool temperature, spa jets, waterfall pumps, and irrigation schedules appear alongside lighting and audio in the primary interface.
