I recently decided to add Roku to my not-smart television set-up and, after many attempts to find…read moreout how it should be done, I hit a wall. The idea came to me that a specialist in home entertainment systems may be able to help me, This was last Saturday so I called Custom Automation Technologies, Inc. in New Albany who were open until 6 pm. The owner, Dan Hoehnen, answered my call, talked with me about my system, and said he would come out that same afternoon and take care of it. Which he did, for about 1.5 hours he skillfully integrated a Roku stick into my mini-network which consists of an 11 year old plasma TV, a DVR, Spectrum cable box, a 11 year old DVD player all controlled by an 11 year old Bose Life Style sound system. Others had failed at this integration task, but Dan knew exactly what had to be done. He explained every step as he worked so that when he was finished I had full Roku capability on my system. He also explained how I should access and use the new feature, even helping me to document every step in the process. To top it off, he invited me to call him anytime I have a problem or a question. In summary, I could not be happier with the service provided by Mr. Hoehnen and CATI. The service was fast, expert, courteous and totally effective. Thank you, Dan and CATI! A very happy, happy customer

Purchased a setup from these guys thinking it would play nicely with my existing smart home setup…read more This was not the case (without paying an additional cost) and I wanted to return my equipment and cancel my subscription. Apparently (and I was not told this in person), it was a 36 month contract. I called to see if I could get out of it, and was met with a pretty nice gentleman who noted down my information and said that while he could not make the decision, he would forward the information along. It's been nearly two weeks and I have yet to hear back. I don't like to leave bad reviews, and would be happy to change this one if I could get some better communication. Update: I Called in. They said there were several notes on my account, they just never remembered to call me and update me. Long story short, there's nothing they can do. And even though I was never verbally informed about the 36 month contact, I am still responsible for paying out the 1500.00 to get out of the contract. This is probably one of the worst experiences I've had with customer support. This is aside from the fact that I've also had their entry sensors falling off my windows and setting of the tamper alarm. For those looking for security systems for your home, I'd recommend something like SimpliSafe. Its cheaper. There's no contract. And you do not need an additional subscription to get basic Google Home support.

Shady as F! Expensive. This is NOT ADT! They are a 3rd party, overpriced, fly-by-night SCAM!!…read more My husband & I got a significant security package. However, the thermostat installed has never worked (it turns out, they aren't licensed to even install it even though they DID!). Also, they did not install any of the detectors until 3 days later; when they did so, they tried to fix the thermostat which was running AC non-stop, even though it was set to heat, but didn't - it now only runs heat nonstop, even when it's set to off. In doing so, they also pulled out wires from the connection & broke a jumper chip. I went to the grocery store, & when I came back the house was 81*F! The only way to get the heat to stop running is to literally pull the thermostat off the wall. APPARENTLY YOU CAN ONLY RETURN ITEMS 3 DAYS AFTER SIGNING, not 3 BUSINESS days, & not 3 days after install!!! ADT, however, gives you 6 MONTHS! ...So even though the thermostat has NEVER WORKED & even though NONE of our detectors were installed until 3 days later, Safe Haven Security won't let us return ANYTHING!!! Customer service told us we have to have technicians fail to fix the thermostat 3 times (more that the previous 2). The manager we spoke with stonewalled us & basically said "too bad, we have clauses in our contracts that protect us & not you." No one has done anything to help us, EXCEPT ADT! They are working to help us. Safe Haven? Nada! Wish I would've known from the get-go that we were dealing with a 3rd party vendor & not ADT directly! But I DIDN'T, because the sales person said "Hi, I'm ______ with ADT!" And "we contract out our installations, but it's just how ADT does things." Like I said... 100% SHADY SCAM!!!
