Vantage Controls, Inc. is headquartered in Orem, Utah. The firm has designed and manufactured home control systems for luxury residences. Designed to seamlessly combine aesthetics and technology, designer keypads and customized touch screens replace the old fashioned light switch. Distributed audio allows for convenient access to the customers entire music library from anywhere in the home. Advanced lighting controls can transform an individual room or their entire home from a work of art into a masterpiece. A Vantage system of computerized control and dimming systems uses conditional logic to automate lights, fans, pumps, thermostats, audio/video equipment, sprinklers, motorized drapes and blinds, security systems and more. All these systems can be integrated into various scenes (simple to complex programs) that execute on a regular schedule or when activated by sensors and buttons. Vantage systems are installed and maintained through its international network of trained dealers. A Vantage system is available as either a wired or wireless solution. This creates the flexibility to include Vantage into new construction, expand a current Vantage system, or retrofit an existing home to include Vantage.
