Custom Home Automation & Lighting Systems
We design smart, efficient setups that improve comfort, control, security, and energy savings in your home.
Custom Home Automation & Lighting Systems
At MIKCOR ELECTRIC LLC, we design and install custom home automation and lighting systems that make your home smarter, safer, and easier to enjoy every day. If you want better control over your lights, switches, dimmers, outdoor lighting, smart devices, and energy use, we can build a system that fits the way you live. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all setups. We take the time to understand your home, your goals, and your budget so we can create a long-term solution that works the right way from day one.
Our custom home automation service is built for homeowners who want convenience without confusion. We can set up smart lighting controls, programmable schedules, scene lighting, motion-based controls, app-connected switches, voice control integration, and centralized control systems. Whether you want to dim the kitchen lights for dinner, automate exterior lights at sunset, control multiple rooms from your phone, or create a full smart home lighting plan for a remodel or new construction project, we can help.
Lighting is one of the biggest parts of how your home looks and feels. A well-designed lighting system can improve comfort, highlight your home’s best features, and make daily tasks easier. We install and upgrade many types of lighting systems, including recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, accent lighting, landscape lighting, security lighting, LED upgrades, dimmer systems, and room-by-room lighting controls. We also help homeowners choose the right fixture placement, switching layout, and control options so the final result is both functional and clean.
When we design a custom lighting and automation system, we focus on performance, code compliance, and ease of use. That means we look at your current electrical system, panel capacity, wiring conditions, switch box setup, device compatibility, and the specific needs of your home. Some homes are ready for simple smart switch upgrades, while others need new circuits, updated wiring, low-voltage planning, or a more advanced control system. We explain the options clearly so you know what makes sense for your property.
Our service can include:
- Smart switch and smart dimmer installation
- Whole-home lighting control systems
- Custom scene programming for daily routines
- Indoor and outdoor automated lighting
- LED lighting design and retrofits
- Motion sensors and occupancy sensors
- Timer-based and schedule-based lighting controls
- Voice assistant integration
- App-based lighting control setup
- Kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom lighting upgrades
- Landscape and security lighting automation
- New construction and remodel lighting planning
- Dedicated circuits and electrical upgrades for smart devices
Many homeowners call us because they are tired of outdated switches, poor lighting coverage, or smart devices that do not work well together. We solve those problems by creating a system that is organized, reliable, and built around your space. Instead of piecing together random products, we help you choose compatible equipment and install it correctly. This reduces future issues and gives you a better experience every day.
A custom home automation and lighting system can offer real benefits beyond convenience. It can improve energy efficiency by reducing wasted power, especially when paired with LED lighting, timers, dimmers, and occupancy controls. It can improve safety with better exterior lighting, pathway lighting, garage lighting, and entry lighting. It can also add value to your home by giving it a more modern feel and a more polished look. For families with busy schedules, smart lighting can make mornings, evenings, and travel days much easier to manage.
We also help customers who are remodeling, building an addition, updating an older home, or finishing a newly purchased property. Planning your lighting and automation early can save time, reduce change orders, and improve the final layout. We can work from your goals and room use to recommend switch locations, dimming zones, fixture spacing, and control features that fit your day-to-day life. If you already have part of a smart home setup in place, we can evaluate it and recommend upgrades or expansion options.

Our Process for Custom Home Automation & Lighting Systems
We make smart lighting and home automation simple, safe, and tailored to the way you live. From the first call to the final walkthrough, our team focuses on clean installation, clear communication, and reliable performance.
In-Home Consultation & System Design
We start with an on-site visit to learn how you use each space, review your electrical setup, and discuss smart switches, dimmers, recessed lighting, scene control, and app-based automation. Within a few days, we provide a clear plan with system options, wiring needs, timeline, and upfront pricing.
Installation, Wiring & Integration
Once approved, we schedule the work at a convenient time and handle circuit planning, device installation, low-voltage coordination, and safe code-compliant wiring. We then program lighting scenes, connect smart controls, and test each automation feature so your system works together smoothly from day one.
Testing, Walkthrough & Ongoing Support
Before we wrap up, we fine-tune dimming levels, sensor settings, timers, and voice control integration, then perform a full safety and function check. We walk you through the system, show you how to use every feature, and stay available if you need adjustments, upgrades, or future service.
Custom Home Automation & Lighting Systems FAQs
Common questions Austin homeowners and business owners ask us before upgrading their lighting, smart controls, and fully connected electrical systems.
- What is included in a custom home automation and lighting system?
A custom system can include smart lighting, dimmers, scene controls, motion sensors, smart switches, outlet controls, whole-home automation, app-based control, voice control setup, and integration with security or entertainment systems. At MIKCOR ELECTRIC LLC, we build the system around how you live or work. That means we do not push a one-size-fits-all setup. We design it for comfort, convenience, safety, and easy daily use.
- Can you install home automation in an existing house, or is it only for new construction?
Yes, we can install custom automation and lighting systems in existing homes as well as new construction projects. Many customers think they need to open every wall, but that is not always the case. We look at your current electrical system, your goals, and the best wiring or wireless options for the space. Then we recommend a clean, practical solution that fits your property and budget.
- Will my smart lighting and automation system be hard to use?
No. Our goal is to make your system simple, not complicated. We set up controls that are easy to understand, whether you want wall keypads, smartphone control, timer settings, or voice commands. We also walk you through how everything works before we finish the job. If you want a system your whole family can use without confusion, we can build it that way.
- How much does a custom home automation and lighting system cost?
The cost depends on the size of the property, the number of rooms, the type of smart devices, and how advanced you want the system to be. A basic smart lighting setup will cost less than a full home automation system with custom scenes, integrated controls, and multiple device connections. We provide honest recommendations and clear pricing, so you know exactly what you are getting. Our focus is long-term value, reliable performance, and a setup that makes sense for your needs.
- Do I need to replace all of my current lighting and electrical equipment?
Not always. In many cases, we can upgrade key parts of your current setup, such as switches, dimmers, controls, or selected fixtures, without replacing everything. During our assessment, we check what can stay, what should be upgraded, and what will give you the best performance. We believe in practical solutions that improve your home or business without unnecessary work.
