HTA Estate Level: Certified – Trusted by the architects, builders, and designers who shape Ogunquit's coastline.

Ogunquit's Coastal Character, Built for Smart Living

Ogunquit, ME, includes some of southern Maine's most sought-after oceanfront properties, many of them second homes that fill with family and friends every summer and sit quiet through the winter. A smart home system has to perform beautifully during a July dinner party and hold up just as well through a January cold spell when no one is home to check on it.

SmartHome Solutions works with Ogunquit homeowners from a base just up the coast in Kennebunk, roughly 30 minutes away. That proximity matters. When a system needs attention, a technician can be on-site the same day. You don’t have to wait on a company with no real presence on this stretch of coastline. As a Maine-based home automation company, we are used to designing systems that account for salt air, shifting weather, and seasonal occupants.

Ogunquit homeowners tend to care as much about how a system looks as what it does. Every one of our recommendations starts with the home itself, not a catalog of features. We create systems to complement your beautiful architecture and décor.

We serve the whole town, from the shingle-style estates along Shore Road and the cottages near Ogunquit Beach to the homes set back along the Ogunquit River and Route 1 toward Wells and York. Many of the properties we work in are renovations of older coastal houses, where the goal is to add modern control without changing the character of the home. That means low-profile keypads that match the trim, shades tucked into the window casing, speakers finished to disappear into plaster, and equipment kept in a single ventilated closet rather than scattered through the house.

Signature Home Automation Solutions for Ogunquit Homes

Savant Whole-Home Automation

As a Savant installer in Ogunquit, ME, we bring lighting, shading, and entertainment under one interface, so a summer home operates as easily as it looks. A single Savant scene can wake the house for a summer weekend: shades rise, lighting settles to a morning level, music starts on the porch, and the whole sequence reverses at night with one touch. Guests never need a tutorial, and the owner can check on every room from a phone whether they are in Ogunquit or back in Boston.

Motorized Shades

Motorized shades filter coastal glare and protect furnishings from sun exposure, all without a single cord in sight. Ocean-facing rooms take direct sun for most of the day, and shades that follow the sun on a schedule keep floors, art, and upholstery from fading while preserving the view that drew you to the property. Sheer, blackout, and exterior options cover everything from a glass-walled great room to a guest bedroom that needs to stay dark.

Lighting Control

Lighting control adjusts a home's mood room by room, and can mimic occupancy while a property sits vacant off-season. Layered lighting scenes make the same dining room feel right for a crowded August dinner and a quiet evening in January, and the same keypads run the landscape and pathway lights that make an oceanfront property safe to walk at night. With Lutron lighting control, dimming is smooth and silent, and the keypads are finished to match the room rather than stand out in it.

Home Theater Installation

A home theater built for a coastal property gives a family a reason to stay in on a foggy evening, with acoustics designed around the room, not squeezed into it. For many Ogunquit families the theater is where rainy days and long winter weekends happen, so we design for comfort as much as picture and sound: seating that fits the room, acoustic treatment hidden behind fabric walls, and controls simple enough for a teenager to run. If a dedicated room isn't in the plan, a media room with a large-format display and concealed speakers delivers most of the experience in a space the family already uses.

Wi-Fi & Networking

A stable network keeps every device connected, from streaming in the primary suite to security cameras watching the dock. Older coastal construction, thick plaster, and the distance between a main house and a guest cottage or boathouse all work against consumer Wi-Fi. An enterprise-grade network with wired access points and a managed switch keeps streaming, video calls, and remote monitoring reliable, and it is the foundation every other system on this page depends on.

Outdoor Living

Weatherproof audio and lighting bring the same control found indoors out to the deck, patio, or waterfront. Landscape speakers tuned for open air, weatherproof televisions on a covered porch, and lighting that picks out stone walls and gardens extend summer evenings well past sunset, all run from the same app or keypad used indoors.

Why SmartHome Solutions?

Since 2004, SmartHome Solutions has designed and installed technology for homes across southern Maine, with a Kennebunk headquarters close enough to Ogunquit for real, ongoing support.

  • A clear process. Every project starts with a consultation, moves into a design built around the home, and continues with support long after installation, backed by our service plans.
  • Manufacturer credentials that matter. We hold HTA Estate Level certification, CE Pro recognition, and Lutron Diamond Leader status, alongside partnerships with Savant and other high-end brands.
  • Trusted by the trades. Architects, custom builders, and interior designers bring us in early, because a system designed alongside a build fits better than one bolted on after.
  • Real local presence. We're a short drive from Ogunquit, not a call center routing requests to a distant crew.

Built for Ogunquit's Coastal Climate & Seasonal Living

Marine-grade equipment for salt air. Standard electronics corrode fast this close to the ocean. We provide corrosion-resistant components rated for coastal exposure, so a system installed today still performs years from now.

Remote monitoring for the off-season. Many Ogunquit homes sit empty for months at a time. Remote access lets an owner check in from anywhere, adjust settings, and get an alert the moment something needs attention. That includes water-leak sensors near the water heater and laundry, temperature alerts, and camera views of the driveway and dock, so a caretaker or neighbor only gets a call when something actually needs a visit.

Energy efficiency through the winter. Automated scheduling keeps heating and lighting running efficiently while a home is unoccupied, without leaving pipes or systems unmonitored.

Retrofit-friendly installation. Many Ogunquit properties are older coastal cottages or historic homes. Our team installs modern control without tearing into walls or disrupting the architecture that makes the home worth owning. Wireless lighting controls, battery-powered shades, and existing pathways for wiring keep the work clean and the timeline short.
