Energy, water, lighting, sound, automation, and AI working together to create properties that are easier to operate, more efficient to run, and better to experience.
Energy affects comfort.
Water affects maintenance.
Lighting affects atmosphere.
Monitoring affects response times.
Everything is connected. Over time, we stopped thinking about automation as technology and started thinking about it as infrastructure for better experiences. OTT grew from that realization.
Today, we help property owners create spaces where systems work together, operations become simpler, and the experience improves for everyone who walks through the door.
The foundation that keeps everything else running.
Solar integration, battery storage, EV charging, hybrid power systems, load balancing, monitoring, resilience planning, and intelligent energy management.
Clean, reliable water with visibility into how it's being used.
Filtration, pressure management, storage systems, pump control, monitoring, leak detection, and operational optimization.
Light that responds to people, time, and purpose.
Scene creation, circadian lighting, occupancy-based controls, scheduling, and atmosphere design.
Technology that shapes how a space feels.
Multi-zone audio, environmental soundscapes, scheduled experiences, property-wide control, and guest experience automation.
The layer that connects everything together.
Home Assistant infrastructure, sensor networks, intelligent control logic, dashboards, notifications, predictive monitoring, and AI-assisted operational insights.
From identifying unusual system behavior to helping operators make sense of large amounts of data, AI can provide another layer of awareness—surfacing information that might otherwise be missed.
Over time, buildings accumulate solutions. A solar installer adds solar. An electrician adds lighting controls. A contractor builds the water system. Security comes from somewhere else. Audio from another supplier.
Each system may work beautifully on its own. But very few properties are designed to work together.
The result is often more complexity, more maintenance, more manual intervention, and more frustration than expected.
The Reality Check: The technology isn't the problem. The lack of integration is.
The goal isn't to create a "smart" property. The goal is to create a property that behaves intelligently.
Lighting should understand the rhythm of the day.
Energy should respond to production and demand.
Water systems should provide insight before problems occur.
Equipment should operate when needed, not simply because somebody forgot to turn it off.
Technology should support the experience of a place, not become the experience itself.
“Good automation is rarely noticed. It simply feels like everything works the way it should.”
Systems work together seamlessly
Operators have fewer things to manage
Guests have a better experience
Resources are used thoughtfully
Information is easier to understand
The property becomes easier to run over time
That's the outcome we're designing for.
Before recommending systems to clients, we prefer to live with them ourselves.
Get Lost, our independently operated micro resort, serves as a living testbed where ideas are continuously evaluated under actual operating conditions. Not in a showroom. Not in a controlled lab. In a property with guests, staff, weather, maintenance requirements, changing occupancy, and all the unpredictability that comes with daily operation.
Our systems aren't tested by perfect demonstrations. They're tested by guests arriving late after long drives. By staff preparing spaces before sunrise. By storms, power interruptions, equipment failures, and the countless surprises that happen when a property operates every day.
Many of the systems we recommend have already spent years being refined there.
Rather than relying on individual products to solve problems, we focus on how systems work together:
Solar Production Influencing Loads: Energy-intensive tasks can be scheduled around solar availability, allowing more renewable energy to be used directly instead of drawing from storage or external sources.
Water Usage Monitoring: Flow rates, tank levels, and equipment performance can reveal unusual consumption patterns and potential issues before they become operational problems.
Lighting Adapting to Occupancy: Lighting can respond to how spaces are actually being used, improving efficiency while maintaining comfort and atmosphere.
Equipment Operating Only When Needed: Pumps, filtration systems, ventilation equipment, and other infrastructure can respond to real conditions rather than fixed schedules, reducing energy consumption and equipment wear.
Energy Storage Reducing Generator Dependence: Battery systems can absorb fluctuations, support critical loads, and reduce the need for fuel-powered backup generation during shorter outages.
Every property starts with understanding how the space is intended to function—not simply how it is drawn.
Discovery: We learn how the property operates, how people move through it, what challenges need to be solved, and what success looks like.
Design: We create an integrated architecture that connects infrastructure, operations, and experience into a cohesive system.
Implementation: Systems are deployed, integrated, tested, and tuned to work together.
Refinement: Real-world use always reveals opportunities for improvement. The most successful projects continue evolving after installation as patterns emerge and needs change.
Behind every recommendation is a detailed, uncompromised understanding of:
Energy systems & Automation architecture
Enterprise networking & Monitoring frameworks
Sensor design & Infrastructure planning
Data collection, visualization, and AI-assisted operational systems
Whether we're speaking with homeowners, architects, engineers, contractors, or resort operators, our role is the same: Translate complexity into practical decisions that improve the way a space works.
You focus on the property. We'll help make sense of the systems.
Some clients arrive with construction plans. Others arrive with a completed property that has gradually become more complicated than expected. Because no two projects are alike, we structure engagements around actual scope and needs.
Consultation & Strategy: For projects that need clarity before decisions are made. Ideal for new builds, renovations, feasibility studies, and owners evaluating options.
System Design: Complete planning and architecture across energy, water, lighting, automation, networking, and operational systems.
Build & Integration: Implementation and coordination of the designed systems.
Optimization & Support: Refinement, monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing improvements as needs evolve.
Our Pricing Guide explains the different ways clients work with us—from early-stage consultation and planning to full system design and integration.
The most expensive projects are rarely the ones with the most technology. They're usually the ones where separate systems were purchased without an overall plan. A thoughtful design often costs far less than correcting the wrong decisions later.
