A Whole House Audio Video Distribution System should do more than switch sources and show a pretty interface—it should feel effortless. Our design-first approach pairs Loxone (the automation brain) with AVPro Edge (broadcast-quality video distribution) to create entertainment that reacts to life, not button presses. Walk into a room and music fades in. Start “Movie Night” and lights dim, shades lower, HVAC balances, and the right input routes automatically—no app hunt, no remotes piling up.
Most control platforms (Control4, Crestron, Savant) excel at manual control. We go further with hands-free automation that unifies audio, video, lighting, climate, energy, and security under one logic-driven ecosystem. The result is cleaner racks, fewer wall switches, local reliability (no cloud dependency), and a system that scales from a few zones to the entire property—beautifully. Keep reading to see how we design from audio zones to whole-home logic for a seamless, future-ready experience.
What Is a Whole House Audio Video Distribution System?
A Whole House Audio Video Distribution System allows you to enjoy your favorite music, movies, and media in any room—without the clutter of multiple receivers, streaming boxes, or tangled HDMI cables. Instead of each space having its own standalone setup, everything connects to a centralized AV rack that routes sound and video signals to any zone in the home. Whether you’re streaming a playlist from Spotify in the kitchen or watching a movie in the theater, the experience feels seamless and unified.
In traditional systems—like those offered by Control4, Crestron, Savant, or Nice/Elan—this centralization is typically managed through manual control: remotes, apps, or wall panels that tell the system what to do. With Heyo Smart’s approach, built on Loxone automation and AVPro Edge distribution, this same backbone becomes intelligent. Instead of just switching inputs, the system reacts to time, motion, light, or presence—delivering true audio-video automation that works invisibly in the background. It’s not just distribution—it’s orchestration.
Why Most Systems Focus on Control, Not Automation
Most “smart” AV platforms—like Control4, Savant, Crestron, or Nice/Elan—are designed around control, not intelligence. They excel at giving you buttons, remotes, and touchscreens to manage your lighting, music, and video. But no matter how sleek the interface, the logic still depends on you pressing something. It’s a responsive system, not a predictive one.
With Loxone, the entire experience shifts from manual command to automated logic. Instead of “telling” your home what to do, the system learns to anticipate it. Lights fade automatically when a movie starts, the HVAC lowers fan speed to reduce noise, and outdoor speakers pause when the doorbell rings—all without needing a remote or app.
This difference isn’t just convenience—it’s reliability. Control-based systems rely on layers of drivers and third-party integrations that can break when software updates or network changes occur. Loxone’s local-first automation keeps your audio, video, and environmental systems running independently of the cloud, ensuring consistent performance and privacy.
The result? A system that thinks with you, not one waiting for you to act. That’s the difference between home control and home automation—and it’s what defines Heyo Smart’s design philosophy across every project.

Loxone + AVPro Edge — The Core of Smart AV Automation
When control systems reach their limit, automation begins—and that’s where Loxone and AVPro Edge redefine what a Whole House Audio Video Distribution System can be. Together, they create an intelligent foundation where sound, video, lighting, and comfort work as one ecosystem—not separate silos.
Loxone acts as the automation brain, orchestrating every action based on logic, time, presence, or environmental triggers. AVPro Edge serves as the backbone of video distribution—delivering 4K HDR content across the entire property with zero lag, precise switching, and robust PoE connectivity. It’s an open, professional-grade system trusted in both residential and commercial environments, free from the licensing locks or dealer limitations that define platforms like Control4 or Savant.
Through this integration, Heyo Smart unifies broadcast-level AV distribution with true automation logic. Imagine your media system automatically switching to the right source, setting the lighting, closing shades, and optimizing the sound for the space—all triggered by a single scene or event. No drivers, no scripts, no reprogramming. Just software-driven intelligence that grows with you.
It’s automation, not control—and it’s built to last for decades, not product cycles.
Design-First Integration for a Seamless AV Experience
Every intelligent system starts with intelligent design. Before a single cable is pulled or a device is mounted, Heyo Smart maps how each space will feel and function — from acoustics and lighting balance to wiring paths and user flow. This is where a Whole House Audio Video Distribution System transforms from hardware into experience.
Rather than stacking equipment to chase features, we engineer around human behavior. Music zones fade together without echo, media rooms double as conversation spaces, and the same logic that powers your movie scene also adjusts your climate and lighting levels for comfort. By blending Loxone automation with AVPro Edge video routing and high-fidelity audio systems, every component becomes part of a coordinated whole — not a separate network of gadgets.
Design-first integration means thinking ahead: centralized wiring with Cat6A or fiber, PoE-powered amplifiers and touchscreens, and architectural speaker placements that disappear into your design aesthetic. Whether it’s a single luxury residence or a multi-zone property, every zone connects seamlessly, with balanced audio, synchronized video, and no perceptible delay.
From Audio Zones to Whole-Home Logic — How We Design
Each Heyo Smart project begins with purpose, not products. We start by identifying how people move, listen, and live within a space. Then we align audio zones, lighting layers, and climate control around those routines, connecting everything through the Loxone Miniserver. Each AVPro Edge route or amplifier channel is assigned by logic — not just by room name — allowing the system to adapt automatically.
When you enter the kitchen, your playlist fades in from the same point it paused in the living room. When the movie starts, ceiling speakers fade out, ambient lights dim, and the HVAC slows quietly. When you step outside, the patio music follows you, synced in real time.That’s not a macro or a scene — that’s Heyo Smart home technology design. It’s how we turn complex multi-zone AV systems into natural, effortless experiences that fit beautifully into modern architecture.
Real-World Automation Scenes That Go Beyond Control
A Whole House Audio Video Distribution System shouldn’t need constant attention. With Loxone automation, the experience adapts on its own — blending entertainment, comfort, and energy efficiency in ways that traditional control systems can’t match.
Movie Night — Effortless Immersion
With one tap or voice command, your living room transforms. The AVPro Edge matrix routes the correct HDMI source, Loxone dims the lights to 20%, lowers the shades, and sets the HVAC fan to silent mode. Your audio adjusts automatically for the perfect cinematic balance — no remote juggling required.
Morning Routine — Wake Up Naturally
Your favorite playlist fades in softly as lights brighten to match the sunrise. The HVAC warms your bathroom to your preferred temperature, and news or weather displays on the mirror TV. As you leave for work, the system powers down nonessential AV zones, conserving energy while maintaining your home’s rhythm.
Party Mode — Inside and Out
Guests arrive, and the system comes alive. Multi-room audio syncs through the Audioserver, lighting scenes shift to accent architectural features, and the patio speakers and landscape lighting join in automatically when doors open. Entertainment moves seamlessly across zones — no lag, no setup, just atmosphere.
Traveler Watchguard — Your Home on Autopilot
When you’re away, Heyo Smart’s WeLive4 property watchguard keeps things running intelligently. Lights mimic presence, music plays periodically, and security sensors integrate with your AV system for alerts or deterrent scenes. Even in your absence, the same logic that powers entertainment protects your home.
This is the difference between control and automation. With Heyo Smart and Loxone, your system doesn’t wait for commands — it anticipates your lifestyle, manages energy intelligently, and adapts with precision.
Beyond AV — Integrating Lighting, Energy, and Security
A true Whole House Audio Video Distribution System doesn’t stop at entertainment — it becomes the heart of your home’s automation. With Loxone’s unified ecosystem, every subsystem speaks the same language. Lighting, HVAC, access control, and even solar or EV charging connect through the same logic that powers your audio and video scenes.
When you dim the lights for a movie, the HVAC adjusts airflow and the energy meter tracks usage automatically. As the sun sets, exterior lighting and security zones activate together. When you arm the system for the night, all TVs, amplifiers, and music sources power down, ensuring nothing runs in standby.
This cross-domain integration turns your property into a living environment, managed through one intelligent network. Unlike platforms such as Control4, Savant, or Lutron that require separate processors or third-party drivers for energy or lighting, Loxone unifies them natively. The result is a system that’s not just synchronized — it’s self-aware.
From WeLive4 property watchguard monitoring to smart energy balancing with solar arrays, battery storage, and EV chargers, Heyo Smart designs automation that grows with your life. Whether it’s managing your lighting moods, optimizing your HVAC efficiency, or maintaining round-the-clock security, your home becomes a connected ecosystem — not a collection of isolated smart devices.
