If you’re building or renovating in Katy and want music and movies to work the way they should, audio and video automation changes everything. Grizzly Tec, a LOXONE Partner since 2015 and Platinum Partner today, installs hidden speakers and theater systems throughout your home—controlled from your phone. In Katy’s sprawling communities like Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch, you can blend entertainment seamlessly into your daily routine without visible wires or clutter.
Why Katy Homeowners Choose This
You built or renovated your Katy home to be a place where family and friends gather. A traditional home theater stuck in one room, or Bluetooth speakers scattered around, doesn’t cut it. Audio and video automation lets you play music throughout your kitchen, pool area, and living spaces—all controlled from one app on your phone.
Katy’s newer master-planned communities like Firethorne and Cross Creek Ranch attract families who want their homes to work as hard as they do. When you’re hosting a dinner party, you need your outdoor speakers, kitchen audio, and dining room synchronized without fumbling with five different remotes or apps. A single tap activates your entertainment scene: lights dim to 40%, the motorized screen drops, and surround sound powers up at the right volume.
We’ve completed 1,000+ projects since 2012 — audio, video, networking, security and automation. We understand the specific demands of Katy homes—large open-concept layouts, outdoor living spaces that run year-round, and homeowners who expect their technology to be reliable and private. That’s why we build systems on LOXONE, which gives you the admin password. You’re never locked into monthly subscriptions or dependent on a cloud company deciding to shut down your system.
What’s Included with Audio & Video
When you choose audio and video automation, you’re getting four core components:
Hidden Speaker Installation — We run wiring during construction or through your walls and ceilings during renovation. Ceiling speakers, in-wall speakers, and outdoor weatherproof units disappear into your home while delivering clear, even sound. In Katy’s newer homes with vaulted ceilings and open plans, proper speaker placement is critical—we handle the acoustics so you don’t have dead zones.
LOXONE Audio Zone Control — Each room or zone gets independent volume and input control. Play your playlist in the kitchen while your teenager streams a different song upstairs. Run a dinner party scene that fades jazz through the main floor, or use a good-morning scene that gradually increases volume as your alarm sounds. Zones play independently or sync with one command.
Home Theater Setup — If you’re upgrading from a DIY projector-and-soundbar setup, we build proper theater systems. That means a projection screen (motorized drop or fixed frame), surround speakers positioned correctly, a subwoofer you actually feel, and calibrated AV receivers that don’t require a manual to operate. One button: your lights go down, the screen drops, and the system is ready.
One-Tap Control Scenes — Scenes are the real magic. “Movie Night” dims lights, closes motorized blackout shades (which also help with Katy’s strong western sun exposure), drops the screen, and sets your receiver to the right input. “Bedtime” mutes everything. “Good Morning” turns on soft music and brings up the lights gradually. These scenes live in one app alongside your security system and climate control.
What a Typical Project Looks Like in Katy
A typical audio and video project in Katy often starts with hidden ceiling and in-wall speakers in the kitchen, living areas, and covered patio, each zone controlled independently or together from one app. Many projects also include a proper home theater, with a projection screen, correctly placed surround speakers, a subwoofer, and a calibrated receiver, replacing a DIY setup. One-tap scenes tie it all together, dimming the lights, closing the shades, and setting the right input. There is no subscription and no cloud requirement.
Cost of Audio & Video in Katy
Audio and video automation pricing depends on how many zones you want, the quality level you choose, and whether you’re building or renovating.
A whole-home audio package across 4–5 zones is priced depending on speaker quality and room count.
Many Katy homeowners combine theater with whole-home audio. Pricing depends on the size and scope of the project.
The best time to plan is during new construction or a major renovation. Running cable and placing speakers before drywall goes up saves money and looks cleaner. Retrofits in existing homes cost more because we have to work around finished walls, but we can still do it.
We don’t charge monthly fees. Your system is yours. No cloud subscriptions, no vendor lock-in, no surprise bills. We give you the admin password so you can modify scenes and settings anytime. For a detailed breakdown of costs and options specific to your Katy home, call us at (346) 220-2472 or visit our smart home cost guide.

Frequently Asked Questions — Audio & Video in Katy
Yes. We run cable through attics and crawlspaces wherever possible and use in-wall speakers that fit between studs. For retrofit projects in finished homes, this method works well. If you're doing a kitchen or bathroom renovation anyway, that's the ideal time to plan speaker placement since we can run cable and install in-ceiling units during construction.
Everything runs from one LOXONE app. Your audio zones, lights, motorized shades, thermostat, and security all control from the same place. You create scenes that tie everything together—one tap for 'Movie Night' controls audio, lights, and shades simultaneously. No separate apps, no cloud requirements.
Your LOXONE system continues to work locally. You can still control lights and audio from the app on your phone if you're on your home WiFi network. Cloud features go down, but your core home automation keeps running. We design systems to keep your home comfortable even when the internet is out.
Absolutely. We build systems modularly. Start with kitchen and patio audio, add a home theater later, and integrate them all into one system. Your investment doesn't get stranded—each component works independently and together. Call us at (346) 220-2472 to plan a phased approach that fits your timeline and budget.
Katy gets strong western sun exposure, especially in newer communities like Firethorne and Cross Creek Ranch. Even a small amount of light washing out a projection screen kills the image. Motorized blackout shades solve this and give you one-tap control—they're one of the highest-value upgrades for Katy theater rooms. Plus they help with energy savings year-round.
