What Integration Controls does

Integration Controls is a St. Louis-based smart home integration firm founded in 2003 that designs, sells, installs, and services residential and light-commercial automation systems for high-net-worth homeowners, builders, architects, and interior designers in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Its technical scope spans the unification of multiple vendor platforms: Control4, Crestron Home, Savant, and Josh.ai for control; Lutron for lighting and motorized shades; Sonos plus architectural lines (Leon, Sonance, B&O, Origin) for whole-home audio; Ubiquiti, Ruckus, Araknis, and eero for networking; and partner displays (Samsung, Sony, LG) plus security platforms (Ring, UniFi Protect, Turing AI, IC Realtime). Core offerings include Smart Home Automation, Smart Lighting Design and Control, Smart Window Treatments, Media Rooms & Theaters, Entertainment Systems, Home Network & Wi-Fi Design, Project Takeover & System Upgrades, and Consultative Design, delivered under a structured Discovery-Production-Service ("Steps to Success") methodology.

The business operates on three revenue streams: one-time Professional Installation Services (project fees ranging from $3,000 for basic networking up to $750,000 for large-footprint whole-home automation), hardware Product Sales (margin on third-party brand equipment), and recurring Service Membership Plans ($49-$999/month tiers providing 24/7 support, remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and proactive monitoring). Sales motion is consultative field selling targeted at the St. Louis metro HNW market, supplemented by builder/designer referral channels, complimentary outdoor audio demos, and content-driven SEO lead generation. The firm holds CEDIA Trained and HTA Certified (HTA Design Partner) credentials, employs 11-50 staff, and reports 350+ active clients with 1,000+ cumulative projects completed over its operating history; a single headquarters operates from Sunset Hills, MO with service coverage into Illinois.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ADT Inc. Largest US residential security provider, increasingly bundling smart home automation and professional install — a broad incumbent that competes for the connected-home portion of Integration Controls' projects.
• Magnolia (Best Buy): National in-store and in-home AV/smart home installation arm of Best Buy, competing for the same HNW homeowner projects at scale and representing the largest 'incumbent' alternative to regional integrators.
• Vivint Smart Home: National smart home and security provider with professional installation, competing for whole-home automation and security projects and exerting pricing pressure on the mid-market slice of the addressable funnel.

Others

• Crestron Electronics: Premium home automation and control platform and one of Integration Controls' strategic certification partners; an enabling OEM whose dealer program defines much of the firm's go-to-market structure.
• Lutron Electronics: Lighting and shading controls manufacturer that Integration Controls specifies and installs (HomeWorks, RadioRA) — a foundational supplier whose products underpin the firm's core lighting and motorized shade offerings.
• Control4: Core smart home control platform that Integration Controls resells, designs around, and supports — a primary supplier/partner rather than direct competitor, but its roadmap directly affects the integrator's offering.

Direct peers

• ABT Electronics: Long-established Midwestern AV and home automation retailer/integrator based in Illinois, serving the same regional Midwest customer base with comparable custom installation, theater, and smart home services.
• Bjorn's Audio Video: Texas-based residential AV and smart home integrator with a similar mix of whole-home automation, theater, lighting, and shading projects and an established installation/service model.
• World Wide Stereo: Pennsylvania-based AV and smart home retailer/integrator offering design, installation, and aftercare for high-end residential systems — directly comparable as a regional specialist with a strong project-and-service mix.
• Audio Advice: Mid-Atlantic residential AV and smart home integrator with in-house design, installation, and service membership tiers, closely paralleling Integration Controls' HNW-focused, consultative model across home theater, lighting, and networking.
