The expanded smart home offering adds to Trendmaker Homes’ HomeSmart tech and automation features that harness the power of Internet-connected devices – all to elevate the homeowner experience and allow homeowners to conserve energy.
“Teaming with Amazon has allowed us to expand our popular HomeSmart package by providing our buyers with even more included technology in their homes throughout Austin and Houston,” said Joe Mandola, president of Trendmaker Homes & Development Houston. “We are excited to be able to deliver homes to our buyers that provide added convenience and energy efficiency at no added cost.”
HomeSmart is the fifth component of LivingSmart®, TRI Pointe Group’s comprehensive program that seamlessly blends the design, development, construction and operation of high-performing homes to provide healthier, more comfortable living environments with lower operating costs.

To help new home buyers maximize their HomeSmart technology at no extra charge, the package includes an on-site activation appointment with an Amazon Expert to customize the smart home experience, as well as 90 days of Amazon support.
HomeSmart, activated and supported by Amazon, is offered in all of Trendmaker’s communities in Austin and Houston.
