Welcome! What's On Your Mind?

There’s something special about summer in Middle Tennessee—the long evenings, backyard cookouts, and the simple joy of relaxing outside with the people who matter most. At Mavien, we believe your outdoor space should be just as smart, comfortable, and inviting as the inside of your home.

From Thompson’s Station to Spring Hill to Nashville and beyond, we’re helping homeowners transform their backyards into entertaining havens with automated shades, outdoor audio, weatherproof TVs, and fully integrated smart control systems.

Here’s how we’re bringing elevated outdoor living to life this summer:

There’s a comforting kind of luxury that comes from knowing your home works beautifully—for you. From the moment you walk through the door, the lights dim to your preferred setting, your favorite playlist hums softly in the background, and your living room is the perfect temperature. At Mavien, we don’t just believe in smart home technology, we believe in thoughtful, intentional living.

That’s why we’re proud to bring the all-new Control4 LUX lighting line and X4 platform to discerning homeowners in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Thompson’s Station, and beyond.

A New Standard in Smart Lighting

The Control4 LUX lighting line is more than just beautiful, it is lighting reimagined. Sleek, modern, completely customizable keypads blend seamlessly into your home while offering control that adapts to your lifestyle. Whether you want to set the mood for a dinner party, brighten your workspace, or ease into your evening with warm, ambient light, the Control4 LUX lighting line makes it simple.

With Control4 LUX, every room feels intentional. And every detail works together to bring your home to life. 

Meet X4: A Smarter, Sleeker Interface

That’s not the only thing new this month! Pair your new lighting with the all-new X4 platform—Control4’s most advanced user interface yet. X4 puts your entire home at your fingertips with a reimagined design that’s as intuitive as it is elegant. Swipe through lighting scenes, adjust your music, check your cameras, or control your climate—all from one beautifully streamlined experience.

In the hills of Middle Tennessee, where morning sunlight spills through broad windows and city lights glow at dusk, there’s a new standard for home living—one that prioritizes beauty, simplicity, and wellness. At Mavien, we believe your home should do more than look good. It should work with you—responding to your lifestyle, protecting your peace of mind, and nurturing your well-being.

That’s where smart, automated shade solutions come in.

The Wellness of Light, On Your Schedule

Natural light is one of the most powerful wellness tools we have. It helps regulate your sleep, energize your mornings, and improve mood throughout the day. But managing that light manually—every blind, every curtain—can be tedious, and too often it leads to either harsh, unfiltered sun or dim, stagnant spaces.

With automated shades, your home becomes an active participant in your well-being.

Imagine waking gently as your bedroom shades rise slowly with the sunrise, no alarm clock needed. Or watching the afternoon glare soften as the living room shades lower on their own, reducing eye strain and cooling the room without overworking your HVAC. At night, your shades close in sync with the setting sun, wrapping your home in privacy and calm.

For many discerning homeowners in Brentwood, Franklin, Nashville and across Middle Tennessee, the dream of building a smart home represents more than just adding gadgets — it’s about creating an environment where technology enhances comfort, security, and connection. And while the vision is exciting, the path to a truly seamless smart home experience is paved with potential missteps.

If you’re investing in a luxury smart home, here are some common mistakes to avoid — along with tips to help you create a space that’s not just smart, but sophisticated, reliable, and designed to fit your lifestyle.

Mistake #1: Lack of Planning

It’s easy to get swept up in the latest smart gadgets — a doorbell camera here, a speaker there — but piecemeal purchases can leave you with a disconnected system that feels more frustrating than futuristic.

Solution: Start with a clear plan. What matters most to you? Is it security? Circadian lighting that shifts with the sun? Outdoor entertainment perfect for those long Middle Tennessee summer nights? Maybe it’s energy efficiency or sheer convenience. Define your goals first, then research reputable brands who can help bring your vision to life like Lutron, Access Networks, Coastal Source, and Control4 — a world leader in smart home automation. Control4 systems are designed to let you craft personalized experiences for your home or business, perfectly fitting your unique lifestyle.

Mistake #2: Neglecting Power Backup

Imagine a storm sweeping through Middle Tennessee — suddenly your power goes out. Without a backup plan, your “smart” home becomes anything but.
