We're thrilled to announce that we were honored with the prestigious Lutron Excellence Award for "Best Renovation/Retrofit Project" at the 2025 awards ceremony at the CEDIA Expo in Denver. The award recognizes our Ellensburg, WA project, where we transformed a hilltop home's lighting system to support the homeowner's wellness goals without disrupting the much-loved interior design. Read on for the details.
At Elite Automation, we approach each project with the same goal: to enhance your home without compromising its aesthetic. For our clients who value clean design and performance-grade audio, hidden speaker installations are a must.
And when it comes to audio that can be completely invisible but sound like a private concert or cinematic masterpiece, few brands deliver like Wisdom Audio.
At Elite Automation, we work with specifiers throughout Washington, integrating the latest technology solutions from advanced lighting systems to motorized shading, home entertainment, and whole-home automation. One of the areas we’ve witnessed the greatest advancements and changes in is lighting.
Today’s luxury homeowners expect a wide range of lighting fixtures and capabilities, from signature designer fixtures to those that disappear into the decor. No matter the source, they want beautiful lighting that’s changeable for every mood and activity.
To provide our trade partners with the highest quality lighting, fixtures for every room and design, and illumination that changes with one touch, we partner with Lutron. Here, we’ll explore some of the top trending solutions and how to streamline lighting right from the start.
When most people envision a smart home, they often picture voice-controlled thermostats or security systems accessible from a smartphone. But at the core of any sophisticated home automation system lies something more fundamental: lighting.
Smart lighting is more than a fun party trick to play with color-changing LEDs. It’s the infrastructure that supports and enhances every other aspect of a connected home. For local Seattle-area homeowners who want a truly integrated and luxurious living experience, lighting should not be an afterthought. It should be the starting point.
