SERVICES / OUTDOOR TECHNOLOGY
FSI installs outdoor displays, audio, and smart home integration for Puget Sound homeowners. Wired during construction. Controlled from one place.

the difference
Cables on the outside of the frame. A TV not rated for outdoor use. Speakers in the wrong spots. This is what happens when technology gets handed off to a sub who was never on site during the build. FSI scopes the full technology layer with the structure. Everything is concealed, integrated, and controlled from one place.

Not every product sold for outdoor use is built for the Pacific Northwest. FSI specifies displays, speakers, and control systems that hold up in cold, wet conditions and perform the way your investment deserves.

Your outdoor display should still work in two years.
Standard indoor TVs have no UV protection, no weatherproofing, and limited brightness for daylight viewing. They fail outdoors within two seasons. FSI specifies outdoor-rated displays only because the display needs to survive direct moisture, temperature swings, and Pacific Northwest UV exposure.
Every display is matched to your space's sun exposure and viewing angles before it is ordered. You get a screen specified for where it is going, not just one that fits the budget.

Your outdoor audio should cover the full space, not just one corner.
Speakers mounted after the structure is finished end up in the wrong spots. The result is one loud corner and dead zones across the rest of the space. FSI positions speakers for even coverage across the full footprint and wires everything during construction.
Patio ceiling speakers, landscape in-ground speakers, amplifier setup, and smart home integration are all handled by one team. No exposed cable runs. No mismatched apps. Everything integrated before FSI leaves.

Your outdoor space should be controlled from the same app you already use.
Five separate systems from five separate vendors is not smart home integration. It is five apps and five remotes. FSI integrates every outdoor component into some of the top smart home platforms—Lutron, Josh ai, Control4, Bond, or Sonos. Don't currently have a smart home system? FSI helps you find the right solution to fit your needs.
Screens, audio, lighting, and heaters all run from one interface. FSI handles the full integration in-house because the outdoor AV team and the smart home team are the same people.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET
Available bundled with a new build or as a standalone install on an existing structure.
01 · BENEFIT
Most contractors install indoor TVs outdoors. They fail within two seasons. FSI specifies outdoor-rated displays only. Matched to your sun exposure and viewing angles before anything is ordered.
02 · BENEFIT
Speakers positioned for even coverage across the full space. Not one loud corner. Every speaker wired during construction. No exposed cable runs after the fact.
03 · BENEFIT
Control4, Savant, Lutron, Crestron, Sonos. Every outdoor system in one platform. Screens, audio, and lighting controlled from the same interface you use indoors. FSI handles the full integration in-house.
From the first site visit to the final walkthrough, FSI manages every trade and every detail of your outdoor space.
01 / 03
Most contractors build one piece of the space. FSI can design and build the entire outdoor room — pergola, kitchen, screens, heaters, lighting, and AV — as one cohesive system, coordinating with vetted contractors if needed.
02 / 03
No contractor coordination. No missed handoffs. No blame-shifting when something does not fit. FSI manages every trade, employs the people doing the work, or subs out to vetted partners.
03 / 03
FSI has been operating in this market since 2005. This climate, these jurisdictions, these materials. Not a new dealer figuring it out. A team with over 340 completed projects.
From First Call to Finished Space

Hosting crowds? Movie nights? Background music and lighting only? FSI asks the right questions to specify the right system for how you actually use the space.

Every component specified before anything is ordered. Display placement, speaker positioning, lighting zones, and smart home integration all mapped out. You see the full plan first.

Complete pricing for every component. Bundled with the main project or standalone. One price. No surprises.

Every component installed, wired, and integrated with your smart home. No exposed cables. No mismatched apps. One commissioned system before FSI leaves.

Every system activated before FSI leaves. App setup confirmed. Sound, screens, and smart controls all running from one place.
QUESTIONS?
The R-BLADE motor system is compatible with multiple control methods and smart home platforms. Standard included controls are a handheld remote and a wall-mounted switch. App control is available through the Gaposa-compatible motor system, which connects to Wi-Fi and is accessible through the Gaposa app or through integration with a major smart home platform. Supported smart home platforms include Control4, Savant, Lutron, and Crestron. When integrated into an existing smart home system, the pergola louvers appear as a controllable device in the home's existing interface alongside interior shades, lighting, and climate. FSI handles the smart home integration as part of the installation and commissioning process. The integration is not subcontracted to a third party.
FSI installs infrared heaters from Infratech and Bromic — the two leading brands in the commercial and residential outdoor heating market. Infratech is a California-based manufacturer with a long track record in outdoor restaurant and hospitality applications. Bromic is a design-forward brand with a strong commercial hospitality background that integrates well into premium outdoor spaces. Both brands produce heaters that are compatible with smart home systems for app-based, scheduled, and scene-triggered operation. The right heater type and mounting configuration depends on ceiling height, coverage area, and the mounting structure available. FSI assesses all three factors before specifying a heater in any proposal.
The right time to add outdoor technology is before or during the build. When technology is planned during construction, all cable runs are routed inside the pergola structure's channels and framing — speaker wire, HDMI, power runs, and control wiring are invisible in the finished installation. No exposed conduit. No surface-mount cable management strips. When technology is retrofitted to an existing covered structure, the clean installation paths that existed during construction are no longer available. FSI can still produce a professional retrofit installation, but the concealment options are more limited. Planning technology during the build is the difference between a technology installation that looks designed-in and one that looks added-on. If you are planning both a pergola and outdoor technology, scope them together from the start.
