Matrix Digital Systems delivers whole-home automation for luxury residences in Orange County, California — whole-home automation on Crestron Home, Savant, and Josh.ai — one interface for lighting, shades, audio, video, HVAC, security, pool, and irrigation — with dispatch from our Fountain Valley studio.
Purpose-built smart home automation for Orange County and the OC coast.
Orange County smart home projects range from Newport Beach yacht-adjacent estates to Coto de Caza gated golf-course residences to Corona del Mar remodels. Fountain Valley is 15–45 minutes from any OC neighborhood, so response is genuinely local. OC systems commonly integrate pool and spa control (Pentair, Jandy), landscape lighting scenes tied to sunset over the Pacific, and marine-adjacent camera coverage.
Matrix Digital Systems dispatches from our Fountain Valley studio to Orange County and the OC coast — including Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Newport Coast, Corona del Mar, Coto de Caza, and Dana Point. We handle processor design, network, keypad and touch-panel layout, subsystem integration, programming, calibration, and training. Engagement range for smart home automation in Orange County is typically $40,000–$500,000+.

Orange County + smart home automation — frequently asked.
Can you integrate pool and yacht-tender systems?
Pool and spa yes, on Pentair, Jandy, and Hayward with full Crestron and Savant control. Yacht integration we approach case-by-case: onboard Crestron and Savant systems on private yachts can be integrated with the shore-side estate for underway status and dock proximity awareness, though this is a specialty scope.
Do you serve Coto de Caza and Ladera Ranch specifically?
Yes — the gated Coto de Caza and Ladera Ranch communities are regular project territory. Our Fountain Valley studio dispatches to both consistently, and we understand the community-specific network and HOA constraints (external wiring, camera placement rules) that come with them.
How do you handle Santa Ana wind season?
Santa Ana events dry the outdoor gear, spike wind loads on shade motors, and can trigger utility PSPS events. Our OC installs include shade wind sensors that auto-retract during high winds, generator/UPS integration on the automation processors and network, and Away-mode alerts if the system detects power loss.
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.
