WHAT YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

Eric with Big Family electric was professional and knowledgeable, and able to diagnose an issue with our electrical system with ease! I cannot say enough good about him and this company. They were able to accommodate us by getting someone out the very next day...

Eric was great. He did a thorough job checking out my issue, and while he couldn't find the exact cause, he fixed what we both thought the issue was. As of now, no complaints. They were very fast getting out to me, which was crucial because I work from home.

I had an issue that needed to be addressed promptly and BIG was able to send someone out early the next day. Eric got there early and got straight to work. Gave me my quote and also a quote for a few other things that weren't up to par. I opted for only the work...

Eric and Aubrey did a tremendous job adding Starfish lights to my exterior and trouble shooting my surround sound issues. I would highly recommend them.

My first impression of Big Family Electrical after meeting Eric can only be described as "Awesome". Then I had the pleasure to see Eric's work in real-time because I was on the jobsite. And then Sean came to help which only made my confidence grow more...

Whole Home Control with Smart Home Integration

Smart home integration brings separate devices under one control system. Instead of opening one app for the lights, another for the doorbell, and a third for music, a central hub links them so they work together and respond to a single command, schedule, or scene. It is the control layer of every home automation installation we complete.

That coordination is where integration pays off. One good-night command can turn off the lights, lock the doors, and adjust the thermostat, while a leaving-home scene can arm cameras and shut down music across the house. Our lighting automation and home audio and video installation work plugs directly into these scenes.

Integration also cuts the clutter that comes with piecemeal smart devices. Fewer apps, fewer remotes, and one consistent interface make the system easier for everyone in the household to use, including family members who would rather not learn new technology.

For Baton Rouge homeowners, whole home control is practical during the long cooling season, when scheduling the thermostat around the hours you are home helps manage how hard the AC works. During storm season, it also lets you check cameras and lights from your phone while you are away.

Our Smart Home Integration Partners

We design and install integration systems built on Josh.ai and Control4, two platforms made for whole-home control. Both connect lighting, audio, video, security, and climate, but they differ in how you interact with them day to day.

Josh.ai is a voice control platform designed for whole-home systems. It understands natural, conversational commands, so you can ask it to dim the kitchen lights or play music in the den without memorizing exact phrases.

Control4 is a home automation platform that ties lighting, entertainment, security, and climate into one interface. It runs from touchscreens, handheld remotes, and a mobile app, so each member of the household can use the method that suits them.

The right platform depends on how you want to use your home. We walk you through both options during the consultation and recommend the one that fits your devices, your budget, and how your family lives.

Voice Assistant Controlled Smart Home Hubs

A voice-controlled hub lets you run your home by speaking. Once your lights, locks, cameras, and thermostat are connected, one spoken request can adjust a single device or trigger a full scene.

We install and set up voice-controlled hubs and connect them to the devices already in your home, including video doorbells and cameras from our Ring device installation service. Placement matters, so we position hubs and speakers where they pick up commands clearly in the rooms you use most.

Voice control is also an accessibility upgrade. Older family members and anyone with limited mobility can adjust lighting and temperature without reaching for a switch or a phone.

A hub is only as responsive as the network behind it. That is why we check Wi-Fi coverage and wired connections before we set up voice control, so commands register the first time.

Our Smart Home Integration Setup Process

Each integration project follows a clear sequence from planning to handoff:

Consultation. We learn how your household uses its space and list the devices you want connected.
System design. We recommend a platform, map device and control locations, and plan any wiring needed.
Wiring and installation. Our electricians run cable, install the hub, and mount keypads and touchscreens.
Programming and testing. We connect each device, build your scenes and schedules, and test every command.
Training. We show you how to use the system and fine-tune scenes before we leave.

Homes that need new cable runs get them from our low-voltage wiring team, so wiring and programming stay with one company. Call us or book online to schedule your integration consultation.

How Integration Pricing Works

The cost of smart home integration depends on the platform, the number of rooms and devices being connected, whether new wiring is needed, and how many custom scenes you want programmed. Connecting existing smart devices to a hub is a smaller project than wiring and programming a full Control4 system for the whole house.

We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees before work starts, and financing through GreenSky is available, subject to credit approval. Big Family Care members receive discounted service and a lifetime warranty on installations while their membership is active.
