Home Automation Design Pro
AV & shades, room by room
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Design the whole house one room at a time.
Home Automation Design Pro is a room-by-room design tool for the integrator standing inside the house with the customer. Each home runs on a rail of seven stops across the top of the screen — Home, Rooms, Systems, Scenes, Keypads, Rack, Proposal — and every count you make in a room flows forward to the head end and the price.
HOME
• Customer, address, designer, square footage, floors.
• Three switches that shape the design: aging in place (life-safety reminders), a local voice hub, a smart electrical panel.
ROOMS
• Tap a room kind — living, kitchen, dining, primary suite, bedroom, bath, office, theater, hall, entry, garage, patio, laundry, mechanical — and it lands with sensible starting counts.
• Rename it, set its floor; badges on its card show what is inside.
SYSTEMS
• Lighting: how many loads, and whether they ride on wired dimmers, wireless dimmers, or a centralized lighting panel.
• Shades: motorized windows, battery or wired.
• Sound and picture: TV or projector, speaker pairs from in-ceiling to towers to outdoor, a source, and an amplifier, receiver, or soundbar to drive them.
• Climate and sensing: thermostat, presence sensor, door and window contacts, and a leak sensor already on in wet rooms.
• Network: Wi-Fi access point, wired drops, an in-wall touchscreen.
• Life safety: fall-detection sensor, help-pendant receiver, panic button.
SCENES
• Start from Welcome, Good morning, Movie, Dinner, Goodnight, Away, or All off, or name your own.
• For each scene, set every room's lights to a percent, its shades to a position, its sound and screen on or off, and a climate setpoint. Rooms you leave alone are skipped.
KEYPADS
• Put a keypad in any room, pick 2, 4, 6, or 8 buttons and a finish — ivory, white, black, bronze, or stainless — and give each button a scene.
• The faceplate draws on screen exactly as it will be engraved.
RACK
• Control points are counted straight from the rooms — loads, shades, keypads, touchscreens, AV zones, thermostats, sensors — and the processor picks itself. Override it when you know better.
• Access points from the square footage or from rooms you flag, wired ports with 25% spare, the switch count, and PoE watts against budget.
• The rack drawn unit by unit with its power draw, a UPS sized to match, and router and UPS toggles.
PROPOSAL
• Every device by room at catalog price, install hours at your shop rate, programming hours for scenes, keypads, and zones, permits, and your margin, with subtotals per room.
• A review list graded good, look again, or fix before install: processor capacity, PoE budget, rack fit, uncontrolled lights, screens with no source, theaters with no receiver, speakers with nothing driving them, wet rooms with no leak sensor, aging-in-place rooms with no fall sensor, scenes that do nothing, blank keypad buttons.
• The Proposal PDF on your letterhead: three headline numbers, a page per room with the keypad engraving, the scenes, the head end, the price table, and the review list.
• Mark it sent, mark it won, and hand the awarded job to ProjectLead as one file — a line per system per room, keypad engraving in the notes.
SIZER
Three calculators that need no home open: control points to a processor and lighting panels; square feet and drops to access points, ports, switches, and PoE; rack draw to a UPS and circuit.
PHOTOS, NOTES, BACKUP
Photos from the library or camera, tagged to a room. Notes per home. The whole home backs up to one file you can move anywhere. No account, no server; the design stays on your phone.
WHAT IT COSTS
Your first three homes are free for good, and a home you already built never locks. Pro, monthly or annual, opens unlimited homes. A suite plan opens this app and every other Low Volt Labs app.

For the integrator who would rather settle lighting, shades, sound, and control standing in each room than at the desk.

Version 1.1 brings audio and video into every design.
• Audio / Video jobs: price a home as automation, audio / video, or both.
• Speaker library: 160 speakers, subs, amps and receivers from Klipsch, Sonos, Polk, Denon, Marantz and more, with amp matching for every room.
• Share one amp across rooms, use a receiver's Zone 2, and add a subwoofer to any room.
• Scenes now set each room's volume.
• With Pro, snap a photo of a speaker's label to add it to My speakers.
• Your own prices: enter what you pay for any item in Settings › Prices.
• Two proposal copies: a clean one for the customer and a tech copy with your notes and review list.
• The control system you pick chooses the processor, and an Apple TV on an Apple Home job serves as the hub.
• Pick each room's floor from a menu.
• Bigger racks, and a battery backup sized to the rack's rated load.
• Catalog prices checked October 2026. Saved jobs use the updated prices when you open them; jobs marked Won keep their awarded price.
