If you are looking for a Ethical, Quality Driven and Responsible Home Automation company RUN AWAY from THIS ONE and DO NOT LOOK BACK! I know this review sounds harsh but it is as truthful as can be. In 2020 while doing a major renovation of our penthouse condo, we decided to retain AAA to design, wire and install our Control 4 Home Automation system complete with RGBY Lighting, Control 4 Lighting and Switches and Lutron Shades...A Project that was well over $30,000 without even finishing ALL of the shades. Not that they have received ALL of their money they refuse to assist us in helping us achieve a fully functioning system. Recently some of the programming went "wonky" which is part of the issue they caused with the driver's they installed and the owner literally told me to reach out to the guy who sold us the system who no longer works for AAA, how crazy is that. When I called to confront him about this ludicrous statement he told me to "shut up"! Being a business owner for nearly 2 decades I truly understand customer service and ethical conduct as a business owner and Phillip Ampel the owner of AAA is probably one of the most unprofessional, dishonest individuals I have come across. I will update this review accordingly in the future with also pictures of how they left the Control4 cabinet install etc. once I get them uploaded. I will also update it accordingly to give insight as to how things are going with AAA in terms of getting our system operating as we were promised it would at contract completion. Stay Tunes, I am assuming we are going to have to go the route of litigation! Edit: Also, it appears that your company only has a history of disputing negative reviews below by many other people other than me and always skirting responsibility...Being a responsible business owner means trying to make it right with your customers/clients instead of always trying to level blame on their shoulders while AAA says they have always done everything right...This is very typical of a business that deserves poor reviews. Just for some insight as well to the level of "Non-Quality and Nightmarish" work that AAA does. Please the pictures attached of the main Control 4 housing tower that AAA installed and look how disgusting, dirty and dusty the tower is to this day! You would think that if you paid a company $30K to install a full home automation system that they would at least have the professionalism to clean up and turn over the system in a very professional and clean manner instead of leaving it like these pictures show, correct? Well they didn't so if anything speaks a words it should be these pictures! Being a Yelp Elite reviewer I ONLY give poor or negative reviews when they are warranted...as you can see from my profile I have given many 4 and 5 star reviews but when I do give a 1 star review it is for a reason especially considering I am a fellow business owner of over 16 years and understand the negative implications these can cause.

Response from ATLANTA AUDIO & AUTOMATION
We are very sorry that you feel that your ENTIRE system which includes home automation, whole house music, lighting control/integration, and motorized shades is not fully functioning. We do not agree with that statement and have tried to explain to you without success what the problem is and what we can do to help. You will NOT listen or except our explanation, and feel that disparaging us all over the internet will help your plight. We have been in business for over 22 years, and there is a reason why we have been in business so long. Please go back and review your proposal and the contract, we are NOT in breach of contract. There is no mention in our proposal to install RGBY lighting capability in your home, nor did we install any lighting ONLY lighting switches. One of our technicians was nice enough to find a 3rd party software driver to provide you with RGBY capability on your bathroom lights. (That was a bonus to you that he found it, but that was NOT included in our proposal). 3rd party software is not something we can control, and when this software driver was decommissioned, we were not able to find a replacement. We have been in contact with our control provider and the 3rd party vendor to find a solution, but that is not acceptable for you. If there was a solution, it would have been provided to you. This is also a software issue NOT a programming issue. This is the ONLY functionality in your entire system that does not work as you would like. Currently, ALL your systems are working as designed and contracted. Please also note that is Section C. of your contract, we cannot control or will be held responsible for the discontinuation of software or products. This is something that is out of our control. And again, I will mention that this functionality was not something that was originally contracted for in the proposal.

This experience was fantastic from start to finish. Everyone that we dealt with was outstanding. They were always very curteous and highly professional. They respected our home and kept the work space very clean. They were very eager to find solutions that met my specific needs and were very friendly to deal with. They were always punctual and the project was completed ahead of schedule which was great because we had family coming in to town that week. I definitely highly recommend them!
Description of Work: Atlanta Audio & Automation did an outstanding job! Highly Recommended! I hired Atlanta Audio after shopping around between three companies in the area. Their team was extremely helpful in assisting me to design the optimal home technology system for what I was really looking to accomplish and at a very reasonable price. There price was much lower than the two other estimates I received from the other companies. The solutions they provided included installing a system which allows me to control my lighting, climate, irrigation, security system, motorized shades, pool, and media all from my iPhone and iPad! It's amazing! It completely simplified my life! I only wish I had done it sooner!

Great job. Installation was efficient. Really gives a different feel to the house.
Description of Work: We needed automated window shades for six windows located 19 feet above the floor. Phillip got us what we wanted at the right price. Installation was ahead of schedule and efficient. We can now use our kitchen and great room comfortably on bright sunny afternoons. Should have done this years ago. We'll definitely be call Atlanta Audio and Automation as our renovation continues. Thanks for a job well done.
