Tony Smalls, the owner of Smarthome Solutions based in Atlanta, GA specializes in home automation, security, surveillance, and home theater systems. For over 20 years, Tony and his team have taken care of the security and comfort needs of his high-end clients. But his encounter with a new technology changed the game for him and his clients: Brilliant NextGen.
From Creative Integrations to Cutting-Edge Automation
Tony began his career well before smart homes became mainstream and being an “integrator” was a term. He was adept at creatively integrating early audio-visual technology to streamline entertainment and security systems.
Several years ago, Tony's client moved into a home saddled with an outdated automation system that couldn’t handle LED lights—resulting in constant flickering. He needed an upgrade that would appeal to a younger owner who wanted cutting-edge tech and to control everything from their phone. The solution? Brilliant NextGen resolved these issues seamlessly and provided a modern interface and app that gave the younger homeowner easy control over lighting, entertainment, and more.
“I've always been the type of integrator who looks to solve problems,” Tony explains. “I began to seek that solution and came across Brilliant Next Gen, and it seemed to check all the boxes”
Effortless Installation and Configuration
One of the most significant advantages of Brilliant is how simple the installation process is. Rather than dealing with the extensive configuration required by other systems, Brilliant’s setup is straightforward.
“The system is as simple as installing a light switch,” Tony says. Everything is controlled by the Brilliant controller, which controls both direct wire and remote lighting, intercom, and camera all rolled into one. “It’s elegant, simple, and easy for homeowners to use.”
With minimal disruption, the system is up and running in no time.
And it’s not just about installation—Brilliant makes ongoing maintenance easier too. Homeowners no longer have to schedule constant service calls for minor adjustments. The system’s simple design empowers users to stay in control, effortlessly managing their smart spaces.
Making Luxury Homes More Efficient and Comfortable
When his long-time client decided to move from Atlanta to Park City, Tony was his first call. He wanted the same smart home control system he enjoyed in his previous home - Brilliant. While in his Atlanta home, he replaced a complicated system with Brilliant, in Park City it was part of the initial design.
The Park City Utah home has breathtaking views through an enormous wall of windows with moving glass walls within the great room. These expansive spaces can present design challenges for light and temperature control. Brilliant’s integrated shades and electronic window tinting solved the issue beautifully, allowing the homeowner to adjust for privacy, glare, or climate control with simple commands.
Intuitive Technology for the Whole Family
Not every luxury homeowner is a tech expert, and that’s where Brilliant truly excels. The smart home system’s user-friendly design creates a stress-free experience for everyone in the household—even the less tech-savvy family members.
Whether it’s seamlessly dimming the lights for movie night, syncing entertainment systems, or adjusting the thermostat, Brilliant empowers homeowners with intuitive controls through touchscreens, voice commands, or their mobile app.
Smart, Stylish, and Future-Proof
For luxury homes, form is just as important as function. Brilliant’s sleek, modern design enhances any room's aesthetics while delivering powerful capabilities behind the scenes.
Tony describes the Brilliant system as “beautifully designed and discreet.” Features like its sleek touchscreen, motion sensors, and privacy-enabled camera make it sophisticated yet unobtrusive. It effortlessly blends into high-end interiors without compromising the elegance of the space.
Future-Proof Features for Modern Living
Beyond its stunning design, Brilliant offers adaptability and long-term value through constant innovation. Thanks to open-source integration capabilities, it can connect to countless third-party devices—not just what’s "on the brochure."
Tony gives an example of how his Park City client uses their Brilliant system for more than just home automation. "The homeowner even starts their car from the Brilliant controller through integrated app functionality. It’s proof that this system is built to grow.”
With voice control via Amazon Alexa and growing partnerships with other device brands, Brilliant ensures that luxury homes remain at the cutting edge for years.
