Smart home integration in Coral Gables
ioty designs, installs and services home technology for Coral Gables, from Mediterranean homes that date to the city’s 1925 founding to new waterfront construction in Gables Estates. Every system is designed and programmed in-house in Doral, and our showrooms run it live.
What we install in Coral Gables
Coral Gables looks closely at the outside of a house. The city’s Board of Architects reviews new residences, pools, pavement, roof tiles and every building expansion, and it judges color, materials, fenestration and proportion; development applications also carry a tree survey and a tree protection plan. Technology has to respect that. We choose cameras for size and finish, conceal speakers in ceilings and garden beds, specify gate and entry hardware that reads as part of the architecture, and keep landscape fixtures small and shielded.
Inside, the range runs from thick-walled masonry homes with original plaster to contemporary waterfront construction with walls of glass. Both get the same system: lighting scenes and motorized shades on one platform, zoned climate that manages humidity, discreet cameras and access, and audio and video in every room that wants it. In an older house we favor wireless lighting control and wire-free shades so the plaster and coral rock stay intact; in a new build we join at the drawing stage.
How a Coral Gables project runs
New construction and major renovations start with the drawings. We mark low-voltage pathways, shade pockets, speaker locations and the equipment room before the architect submits, so nothing added later disturbs an approved elevation, and our pre-wire guide explains that rough-in phase. For a finished home we survey first and design around what the walls allow. Our filmed Gables Estates project shows the whole system in one waterfront house.
ioty is a Lutron Sapphire dealer and a Savant Elite Ambassador. Every system is designed, programmed and serviced from our Doral headquarters, our Design District showroom demonstrates lighting and shading by appointment, and Client Care keeps the house current after move-in.

Questions, answered plainly
Does ioty work in Coral Gables?
Yes. ioty, a home technology integrator based in Doral, Miami, designs, installs and services lighting control, motorized shades, climate, security and whole-home audio and video across Coral Gables, from its historic sections to the waterfront communities on the bay. Consultations happen at your home or in our Doral showroom, and our Design District showroom demonstrates lighting and shading.
Will the Board of Architects need to see my technology?
The Board reviews exterior work such as new residences, pools, pavement, roof tiles and building expansions, and judges color, materials, fenestration and proportion. We coordinate with your architect so that anything visible from outside, cameras, gate hardware and landscape lighting among them, appears on the drawings the city sees and sits quietly within the architecture.
Can you add lighting control and shades to an older Coral Gables home without opening walls?
Yes. Wireless lighting control replaces existing switches with keypads and dimmers that communicate by radio, and wire-free motorized shades run for years on battery packs, so plaster, coral rock and tile stay intact. Our condo shade guide covers the wire-free options in detail, and the same products suit a historic house.
Do you handle waterfront homes in Gables Estates and along the canals?
Yes. Waterfront work adds salt air, direct sun and storm season to the brief: outdoor audio and cameras specified for coastal exposure, shades that track the sun across the glass, and a storm mode that secures the house from one button. Our filmed Gables Estates project is on the projects page, and our hurricane guide explains what fails first in a connected home.
Where do we start?
With a conversation and, if they exist, the drawings. Book a consultation and we will meet at the house or in Doral, walk the systems live, and return a design and proposal. Client Care takes over once the house is running.
