Our Services

What We Offer in Greenwich

Smart Lighting & Controls

Lutron Caseta and RadioRA 3 keypads, dimmers and motorised shades, programmed as scenes rather than as a wall of unlabelled buttons.

  • Lutron Caseta and RadioRA 3 systems
  • Motorised shades on schedule or sun sensor
  • Scene presets: evening, entertaining, away
  • Keypad engraving so guests can use the room

Whole-Home Audio

Sonos and architectural in-ceiling speakers zoned room by room, including patios, pool decks and the kind of stone terraces Greenwich properties tend to have.

  • Sonos Amp and in-ceiling / in-wall speakers
  • Outdoor zones rated for coastal weather
  • Synchronised playback across zones
  • Speaker grilles painted to the ceiling colour

Security Integration

Cameras, alarm and smart locks joined to the automation system so one action arms the house, locks the doors and sets the lighting.

  • One app for cameras, alarm, locks and lights
  • Lighting responds to alarm and camera events
  • Guest and housekeeper codes with entry logging
  • Ties into our Greenwich alarm and camera systems

Wi-Fi & Home Networking

The part most smart-home installs get wrong. Wired access points and a proper switch, because thick masonry and long floor plates defeat a single router.

  • Cat6A to ceiling-mounted access points
  • Coverage to detached garages, pool houses and docks
  • Separate networks for family, guests and devices
  • Rack or closet termination, labelled

Climate & Comfort Controls

Zoned thermostats, humidity monitoring and leak sensors — the automation that matters most in a house that is empty for part of the year.

  • Multi-zone smart thermostats
  • Freeze and leak alerts to your phone
  • Humidity control for wine rooms and cellars
  • Away schedules that pre-heat before you arrive

Home Theater & Entertainment

Media rooms and living-room systems with the equipment out of sight — sources racked in a closet, one remote or one app for the room.

  • Projector, screen and seating-line planning
  • Equipment racked out of the room
  • Single-remote or app control per room
  • Acoustic treatment where the room needs it

Local Insights

What Makes Greenwich Different

Smart home installation for Greenwich properties

Greenwich housing stock spans more than a century, and the build year decides the design more than the brand does. Pre-war Colonials in Old Greenwich and Cos Cob have plaster-and-lath walls and, often, stone foundations — wireless lighting and audio degrade badly through both, so those homes get a wired backbone with RF only at the leaf devices. Newer Back Country construction has the opposite problem: floor plates long enough that one router leaves half the house unreachable, and outbuildings that need their own network run. Waterfront properties in Belle Haven and Riverside add salt air, so anything mounted outside is specified for corrosion, not just for weather.

Whole-home audio & Sonos integration

Audio is where Greenwich projects most often start and where they most often disappoint. The usual failure is treating a house as one zone: music that suits the kitchen at breakfast is wrong on the terrace at dinner. We zone room by room with Sonos Amps driving architectural in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, keep outdoor terraces and pool decks on separate zones with weather-rated drivers, and paint grilles to the ceiling so the hardware disappears. Because playback runs over the network, the audio design and the Wi-Fi design are the same conversation.

Smart security integration

Automation and security are usually sold separately and then never speak to each other. We install both, so an away scene can arm the alarm, lock the exterior doors, drop the thermostat and switch the lighting to an occupancy pattern in one action — and a camera event can bring exterior lighting up rather than just sending a notification. Entry codes are per-person, so you can see that the housekeeper arrived at 9:10 rather than that 'someone' disarmed the system. If you already have our Greenwich alarm or camera system, this layers on top of it.

Why Choose Us

Why Greenwich Trusts Rolo Electronics

Rolo Electronics technician consulting with a homeowner on security system design

On-site consultation

Every project starts with a free professional property assessment

Designed for Greenwich Housing Stock

Greenwich runs from 1890s Colonials in Old Greenwich to new construction in the Back Country, and each needs a different approach. Plaster-and-lath and stone walls kill wireless signal, so lighting and audio get wired where they can be and RF-bridged where they cannot. We survey the house before specifying anything.

One Installer for the Whole Stack

Lighting, audio, networking, climate and security from one team means there is nobody to blame when the shades do not talk to the alarm. It also means one point of contact when something needs changing two years later.

Concealed Work in Finished Homes

Most of our Greenwich work is retrofit, not new build. Cable is fished through finished walls and ceilings, keypads sit flush, and speaker grilles are painted to match. The system should be the only evidence we were there.

Permits & Registration

Alarm Permits in Greenwich

Greenwich Police Department — Alarm Coordinator

Only the alarm portion of a smart home system needs registration: Greenwich requires it for any system connected to police dispatch, and false-alarm fees begin on the second event. If your project includes an alarm, we register it as part of the install. Lighting, audio, networking and climate work needs no permit; structural or electrical panel work may, and we will tell you if it does.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Our Greenwich Services

It depends almost entirely on scope and on how much of the house is already wired. A single-room lighting and audio project is a very different job from a whole-house system covering lighting, shades, audio zones, networking, climate and security. We walk the property, agree what is actually wanted room by room, and issue a written proposal before any work is scheduled — there is no standard package price we could quote honestly here.

Yes — most of our Greenwich work is retrofit. Lutron's Clear Connect RF avoids new wiring for lighting, Sonos speakers can run over the network, and where cable is genuinely required we fish it through finished walls and ceilings rather than opening them up. Homes in Old Greenwich and Cos Cob with plaster-and-lath walls need more wired backbone than newer construction, which we plan for at the survey stage.

Yes, all of Greenwich including Belle Haven, Riverside, Old Greenwich, Cos Cob, Byram, Glenville and the Back Country. Larger Back Country properties usually need extra network infrastructure to reach detached garages, guest houses and gates, which we design in from the start rather than bolting on later.

In most cases, yes. We integrate lighting, locks and climate with the camera and alarm systems we install in Greenwich, and with many third-party panels. If your existing panel cannot be integrated cleanly we will say so rather than promising a bridge that breaks at the next firmware update.

Because almost every smart device depends on it, and a single router covering a large Greenwich home is the most common cause of a system that 'stops working'. We wire Cat6A to ceiling-mounted access points, put the equipment on a proper switch, and separate family, guest and device networks. Getting this right first is what makes the rest of the system reliable.

The automation itself does not. Lighting, shades, audio, climate and local camera recording all run without a subscription. Optional professional alarm monitoring and cellular alarm backup are recurring services and are quoted separately before installation, and a few third-party manufacturers charge for their own cloud features — we will flag any of those at proposal stage.

A single-system project such as lighting for the main floor or a pair of audio zones is usually a one- or two-day visit. Whole-home projects covering lighting, shades, audio, networking and security run over several visits and are staged so the house stays liveable throughout. We give you the schedule with the proposal.

Customer Reviews

What Our Customers Say About Us

5.0/5
Based on 8 verified installations across Westchester NY & Fairfield CT

We had 8 cameras installed around our property and you cannot see a single wire. The team fished every cable through finished walls without touching our crown molding. Our insurance company gave us a discount the same month.

Michael & Sarah T.

Greenwich, CT

Security

After years paying ADT $45 a month for outdated equipment, Rolo set us up with a Hikvision NVR system. Better cameras, zero monthly fees, and I can check every angle from my phone. Should have switched years ago.

David R.

Rye, NY

NVR

The Wi-Fi in our 4,200 sq ft home was a nightmare — dead zones in every bedroom upstairs. Rolo ran Cat6A to three access points with zero visible cables. Now we get full signal in the basement, backyard, even the detached garage.

Jennifer L.

Stamford, CT

Wi-Fi

I run a small restaurant and needed cameras covering the kitchen, entrance, and parking lot. They designed the layout so every angle is covered — I can pull up any camera on my phone during off-hours. Installation was done in one day without disrupting business.

Carlos M.

Port Chester, NY

Commercial

Rolo installed Lutron lighting, motorized shades, and Sonos throughout our home. Everything works from one app. The hidden wiring is what sold us — our interior designer was impressed that nothing was visible.

Angela & Tom W.

Scarsdale, NY

Smart

We called on a Wednesday and they were at our door Friday morning for the consultation. Two weeks later, six 4K cameras and a full NVR system were running. The person detection actually works — no more alerts for every squirrel in the yard.

Patricia G.

Darien, CT

Security

We had Ring doorbells and a few Wi-Fi cameras that kept dropping offline. Rolo replaced everything with hardwired Hikvision cameras and a proper network backbone. Night and day difference — crystal clear 4K footage, instant alerts, and rock-solid reliability.

Robert & Maria S.

White Plains, NY

Camera

What impressed me most was the site mapping before they started. They walked every inch of the property, identified blind spots I never considered, and proposed camera positions that covered everything. Professional from start to finish.
