Planning a Smart Home in Orange County, CA with madVR
Published 1/27/2026
Designing a custom smart home in Orange County means creating a space where architecture, lifestyle, and technology work together in harmony. In communities like Newport Coast, Laguna Beach, and Corona del Mar, high-end homeowners are investing in performance-driven smart systems that blend effortlessly into modern living. One of the most powerful additions to that experience is madVR Envy—a professional-grade video processor that transforms everyday entertainment into a luxury visual event.
At Oasis Smart Homes, we help you integrate madVR into your smart home plan from day one—ensuring performance, aesthetics, and functionality are engineered together. Here’s what to consider when planning your dream smart home with madVR.
Why Plan for madVR Early?
madVR Envy is not just a plug-and-play device—it’s a high-performance solution that should be accounted for during the design and engineering phase of your smart home. Early planning allows for:
- Proper pre-wiring and ventilation
- Strategic AV equipment placement
- Coordination with lighting, shades, and audio systems
- Seamless integration with automation platforms like Savant or Josh.ai
Including madVR early ensures a clean, design-forward result—without last-minute compromises.
Ideal Spaces for madVR in a Smart Home
madVR can be integrated across a wide range of environments in your custom home:
Dedicated Home Theater
A madVR-powered theater delivers unmatched visual clarity, color accuracy, and dynamic HDR. Perfect for private cinemas where performance matters.
Multi-Use Media Room
Turn your living room into a discreet entertainment space with hidden speakers, motorized projection screens, and madVR-enhanced playback that adapts to ambient light and content.
Outdoor AV Spaces
Outdoor displays benefit from madVR’s tone mapping and upscaling—providing crisp video for poolside movies or patio entertainment, even in changing light.
Ambient Displays & Digital Art
Use madVR to process ambient visuals or digital art, delivering gallery-quality imagery with richer color and smoother motion in your main living spaces.
Integrating madVR with Lighting, Shades & Automation
As part of your full smart home system, madVR works best when coordinated with other automation elements:
- Lighting Control: Scene-based lighting (e.g., “Movie Mode”) dims Ketra or Lutron lights to optimal viewing levels
- Motorized Shades: Automatically close to reduce glare and enhance screen contrast
- Voice Control: Use Josh.ai to activate custom scenes: “Josh, let’s watch a movie”
- Networking: Ensure strong bandwidth and system stability for uninterrupted 4K playback
With Oasis Smart Homes, all systems are designed together—so madVR functions as part of a complete, intuitive home ecosystem.
Collaboration with Your Architect & Designer
We work directly with your architect, builder, and interior designer to ensure that madVR and all AV components blend beautifully into your home’s design. This includes:
- Ventilation and cabinetry for hidden AV
- Conduit paths for future-proofing
- Sound isolation and speaker placement

By integrating madVR into the design from the start, we maintain the architectural integrity of your home while delivering powerful performance behind the scenes.
