Headlands · Marin
One screen for the home you already built.
Headlands builds custom dashboards that pull every system in your house — solar, lighting, water, irrigation, climate, security — into a single interface. No new hub. No dealer lock-in. No new app.
Book a free discovery callWhat we do
The software layer over the systems you own.
You've invested in Sol-Ark solar, Lutron lighting, Savant audio, maybe a Hydrawise controller, a Phyn shutoff, a Powerwall. Each runs in its own app, with its own login. We sit one layer above all of it — reading the APIs your systems already expose and presenting them as one screen.
Unified dashboard
Solar production, battery charge, irrigation schedules, water flow, lighting, climate, security — at a glance, from anywhere.
Custom controllers
Controls scoped to the people who use them — a landscaper portal that tests sprinkler zones without touching the rest of the house; a guest portal for a rental.
Cross-system alerts
"The irrigation ran while the house was vacant." "The battery dropped below 20% with a storm forecast." "The pool level fell two inches overnight."
Audit log
Every action recorded — who turned what on, when. Built for a home with staff and contractors coming and going.
Ongoing care
Not a project we hand off and forget. We maintain it, add panels as you add systems, and tune the alerts as you learn what matters.
Before / After
From six apps to one.
Before
Six apps. Six logins. Six places to check whether the sprinklers ran, whether the battery's charged, whether the basement leak sensor is dry. When the irrigation runs all night and no one notices, you find out a month later — when the water bill arrives.
After
One URL, one login, one screen. Real-time water flow with an automatic alert when something's wrong. A landscaper login scoped to the sprinklers. Solar charted next to battery state next to the pool. Open it from your phone, a kitchen tablet, anywhere.
Work
Two projects underway.
Water management
85 Rock Road · Marin
A managed property where unexplained $3,500 water bills were arriving. A Hydrawise irrigation dashboard with a custom landscaper portal for zone testing — with a Flume main-water monitor and a Phyn whole-house shutoff next. Alert rules tuned to catch leaks fast.
Solar, lighting & audio
Private residence · Marin
Sol-Ark solar and battery, Lutron lighting, Savant whole-house audio — three apps the homeowner was navigating in parallel. One dashboard that surfaces each system's state and consolidates the controls that matter day to day.

About
Marin-based. Software-first.
Headlands is run by Max Goshay, based in Marin. Hands-on dashboard work on two ongoing Marin properties informs everything we build. Every dashboard is custom, every alert is tuned to the home, and you own the code at the end.
