Why New Yorkers choose Distinctive

The experience of a designer. The precision of an engineer.

The team behind NYAutomation has been outfitting New York homes and businesses since 1995 - first with window treatments, now with full automation. That design heritage is why our installs feel seamless, not bolted-on.

Three decades in the five boroughs

Pre-war co-ops, brownstones, landmark buildings and high-rises... We know how New York spaces are wired and what each board will allow.

Every major platform, one honest recommendation

Authorized dealers for Crestron, Lutron, Savant, Vantage and Josh.ai - so the system fits your home, not a brand quota.

Certified & credentialed

Lutron Diamond Elite, Crestron Certified Programmer, THX and CEDIA - credentials earned, not claimed.

Clean installs that respect the space

We work alongside your architect or interior designer and leave no dust behind - from design to programming, handled A to Z.

Lighting, shades, climate, entertainment, security and networking
designed to work together and operate from a single, intuitive interface.

Unify every subsystem under one platform and one app.

Lighting control

Scenes that follow your day, from sunrise to dinner party.

Authorized dealer & certified installer

Built for New York buildings

Co-ops, brownstones, lofts and landmark homes.

Automating a home in New York isn't like automating a suburban house. Pre-war walls, board rules, tight mechanical closets and floor-to-ceiling glass all change what's possible - and who you should hire.
