What We Install
Remote Monitoring Platform
Alarm.com or Control4 4Sight as the always-on app — temperature, security, water, video, and HVAC visible from your phone in the city.
Water Leak & Shutoff
Moen Flo or LeakSmart whole-home shutoff valve, plus PowerG wireless leak sensors at every fixture, water heater, washing machine, and mechanical room.
Freeze Protection
Temperature sensors throughout — push alerts the moment any zone drops below your threshold, before pipes freeze.
Smart Locks & Access
Coded entry for guests, contractors, and cleaners — every code logged, every entry timestamped.
Arrival & Departure Scenes
One-tap scenes that warm the cottage, light the path, unlock the door, and disarm the alarm — triggered from the highway, not the driveway.
Power & Internet Monitoring
Cellular backup, generator status, UPS battery, and Starlink uptime — visible in one app, with alerts the moment anything fails.
What's Included
System Design
Property-specific layout — every leak point, every freeze risk, every access point identified before we quote.
Installation
Clean, concealed installation respecting the cottage aesthetic — no exposed wiring or visible boxes.
App Setup
Deployed to every owner device with appropriate notification routing.
Owner Walkthrough
On-site training plus printed quick-reference card.
Cellular Backup
AT&T or Bell cellular communicator on the alarm — never relies on internet alone.
Optional Service Plan
Quarterly remote check-ins, firmware updates, and seasonal site visits — see /service-plans.
Designed For
Weekend & Seasonal Cottages
Properties on Georgian Bay, Wasaga Beach, and Thunder Beach owned by families who split time between the city and Southern Georgian Bay and can't drive up every time something pings.
Rental & Shared Properties
Cottages on the rental market — coded access, video at entry, and remote arming between guests.
Multi-Building Properties
Main cottage, boathouse, bunkie, and detached garage — one app, one alarm, one set of cameras.
Why Summit Logic
We do this every week — Georgian Bay cottage automation is a core part of our business
PowerG long-range wireless reaches the boathouse and the dock
Local to the region — on-site response, not phone-only
Honest about what's worth automating and what isn't
Engineered. Installed. Supported.
The Federation of Ontario Cottagers' Associations publishes cottage security and crime prevention guidance that echoes much of this, from timed lighting to knowing your neighbours, and automation simply does those things reliably when nobody is there.
