Your ADU Should Be a Smart Home From Day One.
Control4 · Ajax Security · Networking · Smart Lighting · AV. Washington’s HB 1337 made ADU construction easier across the South Sound. Rental cottage, multigenerational suite, or backyard DADU — the right time to wire it smart is during construction, not after. We handle the full system so you never have to retrofit.
HB 1337 Is Live. The ADU Boom Is Here.
Washington’s House Bill 1337, fully effective July 1, 2025, allows up to two ADUs per residential lot across King and Pierce Counties — attached, detached, or one of each. No owner-occupancy requirement, streamlined permitting, impact fees capped at 50%. The barriers are gone. The question now is what goes inside.
Rental-Ready Infrastructure
A rental ADU is a business — it needs tenant-grade separation and owner-grade oversight.
- VLAN-isolated network — completely separate from your home
- Independent Ajax security the tenant controls
- Smart locks and access you manage remotely
- No monthly fees unless you choose monitoring
Multigenerational Done Right
A family ADU shares infrastructure without sacrificing independence.
- Shared network with separate SSIDs and access controls
- Ajax partition on the main hub — one system, private zones
- Control4 CORE — its own app, keypad, or remote
- Aging-in-place friendly: lighting, locks, and climate simplified
Wire It During Construction
Rough-in while the walls are open costs a fraction of retrofit — and looks like it was always meant to be there.
- Cat6A, speaker runs, and conduit at framing
- Clean concealed AV — no visible cable, ever
- 40–60% less than post-construction retrofit
- Coordinated with your ADU builder’s schedule
Every System. One Team. One Architecture.
Designed together — by the same in-house team. No subcontractors, no hand-offs.
ADU Networking
VLAN-isolated for rentals, shared-with-separation for family — Alta Labs or Island hardware, coverage engineered across both structures.
Ajax ADU Security
Independent tenant systems or main-hub partitions — sensors, cameras, smart locks, and the Ajax app, no monthly fees unless you choose them.
Control4 CORE Automation
Full smart home function in under 1,000 sq ft — lighting, thermostat, locks, and AV on one interface, independent or integrated.
Smart Lighting
Keypads and scenes sized for ADU living — including aging-in-place simplification for multigenerational suites.
ADU AV & Audio
In-ceiling speakers, clean TV mounting with hidden cabling, streaming integrated with Control4 — roughed-in during construction.
Construction Rough-In
Cat6A, speaker runs, and conduit at framing — 40–60% less than retrofit, fully concealed, coordinated with your builder.
Four Systems. One Coordinated Design.
An ADU is a complete dwelling — it needs all four, specified together, not four separate contractor relationships.
Separate & Secure WiFi
Rental: VLAN-isolated, completely separate from the main home. Family: shared infrastructure, separate SSIDs. Alta Labs or Island hardware for rock-solid coverage across both structures.
Independent or Integrated Ajax
Rental: the tenant’s own panel, no access to the main system. Family: a partition on the main hub. Door/window sensors, motion, cameras, and the Ajax app standard.
Control4 CORE & Complete AV
A Control4 CORE controller gives the ADU full smart home function — lighting, thermostat, locks, and AV from one interface. In-ceiling speakers, clean TV mounting, streaming integrated.

ADU Smart Home Automation FAQs
Fully effective July 1, 2025: up to two ADUs per residential lot across King and Pierce Counties — attached, detached, or one of each — up to 1,000 sq ft per unit. No owner-occupancy requirement, streamlined permitting, impact fees capped at 50% of the primary residence rate, and HOAs cannot impose new ADU restrictions. It's the most significant change to ADU law in Washington State history.
Yes — a rental ADU needs VLAN-level isolation from your home network. Your tenant's devices should never share a network with your cameras, computers, and smart home controllers. We design the architecture based on your use case and build it with Alta Labs or Island hardware.
The tenant gets their own Ajax system — their own panel, their own app, no access to your main home system. You retain what an owner needs: smart lock control and property oversight. For family ADUs, we run a partition on your main Ajax hub instead — one system, private zones.
At the planning stage, before framing. Rough-in during construction — Cat6A, speaker runs, conduit — costs 40–60% less than retrofitting and results in fully concealed infrastructure. We coordinate with your ADU builder's schedule.
Rough-in packages during construction are the affordable entry point; complete ADU systems with networking, Ajax security, Control4 CORE, and AV typically land well below whole-home pricing because the footprint is under 1,000 sq ft. Free consultation, fixed proposal, tax included.
Either way — fully independent (its own Control4 CORE, its own app) or tightly integrated with the main house. Rental units get independence; family suites usually get integration. We design for your use case.
