You have planned your holiday party for months. The decorations are perfect, the food is amazing, the drinks are chilled, and your signature cocktail perfectly complements your menu and theme. As the sky darkens and the guests arrive, you notice that the lighting is either too harsh or too dark. The music you spent a week picking to make the perfect playlist can only be heard if you hover over several small bluetooth speakers inside and outside. John Auquilla, owner of Domotech, has all the solutions to your problems. 

John Auquilla brought his Home Technology Concierge company, Domotech, to North Texas. His mission is to create an unforgettable experience for your guests and make everyday life more enjoyable. But what truly sets Domotech apart is its personal touch. They offer homeowners something more than the standard system. John provides personalized solutions tailored to your unique needs and preferences that bring audio and video to life while staying hidden and beautifully integrated with your space. This personalization makes you feel less like a client and more like a valued and understood individual. 

In 2022, with their three kids, John and his wife moved to the Celina area from New York. He started his business in 2012, working with businesses and homeowners. Their company was focused on referrals and grew quickly. Wanting something different for their family, they made the move to Texas. John confesses that it has been a reboot of his business, as he works hard to earn local referrals and build trust with local clients. Now in their second year, their business, Domotech, has grown locally and continues to work with clients nationwide, a testament to their reliability and success, instilling confidence in potential clients.

When entertaining in your home or office, the goal is to create a moment guests will never forget. For the holidays, John suggests you consider lighting vignettes that draw your guests around the room. Only in Texas can you host a poolside holiday party with a glowing fire, so be sure to include the patio in your lighting plan. Ambient music and video allow your guests to experience the music and entertainment throughout your home or business. 

A Home Technology Concierge works with clients to create and maintain seamless sound, video, light, and technology use. If you are building a new home, remodeling an existing home, or wanting to update your home theater, John and his team want to help you execute your project. Their process starts with a consultation visit to your residential or commercial space, where they want to understand your goals and vision for the area. They will also assess your technological needs and discuss expectations.

John shared that setting expectations at the beginning of a project is critical to its success. They provide a comprehensive proposal encompassing your wish list, a strategic plan to achieve project goals, a detailed timeline, and aesthetic guidelines for direction. These are not cookie-cutter systems; every client's needs are different. John and his team will engineer and plan every project, crafting designs and precise installation plans that seamlessly integrate technology with your home's aesthetics. Working with a client's design team, Domotech’s goal is to make the technology disappear into your home’s design. Their systems are hidden in plain sight, blending perfectly with your design and decorations.

In the implementation phase, the Domotech team breathes life into the designs,  collaborating with your interior designers and builders. This phase allows for any necessary adjustments and additions to the original plan. It ensures that all parties are on the same page, giving you the reassurance and confidence that your project is in good hands.

John shared that many of his clients have “app-apathy”  from too many applications and controllers trying to control a random use of technology in their homes. John’s concierge team uses applications tailored to each client and their home's needs. His team delivers systems that operate on one controller and one application. They also continuously monitor your system, ensuring it does not lose its program when the power goes out. This continuous monitoring provides peace of mind, knowing that your system is always ready when needed. 

One exciting feature Domotech has been installing is Circadian lighting systems, which follow the human body's natural sleep/wake cycles. Circadian lighting is a strategically designed system that may have the power to positively affect people’s health, alertness, productivity, and more.

Whether you're starting a home construction project, planning a large or small renovation, building a pool this spring, or wanting to upgrade the systems your business is using, John and his team at Domotech want to be part of your planning process.
