Nortek Security & Control has announced that its ELAN Entertainment and Control System was recently featured in two Texas residences as part of the Austin Parade of Homes, organized by the Homebuilders Association of Greater Austin. According to Scott Ruzich, president and CEO of Epic Smart Homes and Epic Interior Designs, the ELAN system, along with SpeakerCraft, Sunfire, and Panamax products, contributed to one house winning “Best Smart Home” and the other winning the People’s Choice Award.

“It is a privilege to be involved with the Austin Parade of Homes, especially being chosen to outfit two of the four homes in the Parade,” Ruzich says, “but the real excitement came from the attendees who were seeing and using ELAN whole home automation for the first time. Being able to bring such a large audience into what is essentially a luxury showroom allowed us to pique their interest far more than any literature or marketing material could ever do.”
