Professional installer in western Massachusetts needed

Hello!

I’m building a new construction home in western Massachusetts and am looking for a professional installer/servicer to help complete and install a Qolsys IQ 4 “hybrid” system. I have a few areas where I’d like suggestions as well.

The goal is to accommodate future home automation needs (i.e., Konnected.io, Envisalink, etc.) though initially used solely for anti-burglary and life safety. I’d like to pay for all equipment upfront.

Current plan

  • Sensors, hardwired
    • ~20 window sensors, recessed, looped. ($8/unit, Honeywell 951WG)
    • 7 exterior doors, recessed ($8/unit, Honeywell 951WG, brown)
    • 5 interior doors, recessed ($8/unit, Honeywell 951WG, brown)
    • 5 smoke/co combo (?)
    • 1 flood detection (?)
    • 2 low temperature sensors (?)
  • Security System
    • 3 IQ Hardwire 16 QS7131-840 (Up to 48 hardwired zones)
    • 1 Qolsys IQ 4 (319.5Mhz)
    • 2 Qolsys IQR-PG (remote panels)
    • Installer and dealer codes available to homeowner for third-party integration s

We will likely have a home automation engine, though not yet decided on brand/vendor. Currently mulling over Control4, Josh.ai, or patchworked DIY system for tinkering ability.

Installer should have experience working and integrating alongside other specialized teams: lighting & controls, HVAC, A/V, surveillance & access control.

Areas I’d like support and suggestions:

  1. Smoke/co detectors – Does IQ Hardwire support power reset for these detectors?
  2. Flood detection – what do you recommend? Water Bug?
  3. Low temperature sensors – open to suggestions

Happy to take DMs if that makes conversation easier! We have a CAD package available for planning purposes.

Appreciate all.
