Mark Peterson has been a prominent figure in the technology sector since his graduation from George Mason University in 1987. He began his career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Research Extension (MITRE) where he integrated one of the first network connections to the Internet (ARPAnet). After a stint at MITRE, he joined Sun Microsystems as a Systems Engineer, leading significant federal projects for intelligence and defense agencies. Seeking to pursue his entrepreneurial ambitions, he founded ComPath in the early 1990s, pioneering the transformation of cable television plants into Internet broadband networks, growing the company to $18 million in seven years. Despite ComPath’s closure due to the 2000 market crash, Mark launched Digital Homes, focusing on smart home and cloud computing solutions.
Now, partnering with Daisy, Mark aims to provide integrated technical solutions to a wider audience, leveraging Daisy’s expertise in backend support and marketing alongside Digital Homes’ existing technical depth.

Daisy brings cutting-edge home automation systems to Longboat Key residents who want smart home solutions seamlessly integrated into their lifestyle. From automated lighting that adjusts to your daily routines to climate systems that optimize comfort while reducing energy costs, Daisy designs residential home automation systems tailored specifically to the needs of Florida residents.
Salt air, humidity, and occasional severe weather require weather-resistant automation components that maintain reliable performance year-round. We select and install only the most durable smart home automation systems designed to withstand Florida’s demanding climate conditions.
Our home theater designs integrate sophisticated acoustic treatments, ambient lighting control, and automated seating systems that enhance every aspect of your viewing experience. We handle everything from speaker placement optimization to network integration, ensuring your theater system delivers exceptional performance while integrating smoothly with your broader home automation network.
From intimate viewing areas for family parties to elaborate screening rooms for groups, we customize each installation to match your space and entertainment preferences.
Comprehensive home automation and security systems provide multiple protection layers, including smart cameras, motion sensors, door and window monitoring, and automated lighting systems that work together to deter intrusions and provide complete situational awareness. Get real-time alerts to your mobile devices, automatically adjust lighting when motion is detected, and coordinate with other home automation systems to create comprehensive protection protocols.
We design security systems that scale with your needs, whether you’re protecting a waterfront estate or a cozy cottage. Each installation receives thorough testing and optimization to ensure all components function reliably in Longboat Key’s coastal environment.
Window automation functionality of your Longboat Key home becomes particularly valuable in coastal environments where sun angles and weather conditions change rapidly. Motorized shade systems can respond automatically to weather sensors, closing during storms.
Our automated lighting solutions adjust throughout the day to complement natural light patterns and maintain comfortable interior temperatures while providing precise control over ambiance and energy consumption. Smart shade systems protect your interiors from the harsh Florida sun while preserving your desired views and privacy.
Network security becomes increasingly important as homes incorporate more connected devices. We implement comprehensive security protocols that protect your smart home systems from cyber threats while maintaining easy access for authorized users. Our networking installations include guest access capabilities, device isolation features, and ongoing monitoring services that ensure your network remains secure and optimized.
We design networks that provide seamless coverage from your main living areas to outdoor entertainment spaces and waterfront locations.
Our local presence in Longboat Key means we provide prompt service and support for all your automation systems. We maintain relationships with local suppliers and service providers, ensuring rapid response times for maintenance needs or system updates.

Mark HintsaFebruary 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dillon did a thorough and professional update and review of our alarm system. Can't thank him enough. My highest recommendation for Dillon and Daisy home automation (formally Digital Home). Paul DeFeliceJuly 31, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Digital Homes did two new construction projects for me. They showed up when they said they would and were happy to quickly resolve and issues that might have come up. I am contacting them today to do another new home project for me. Dominic ZacconeNovember 4, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Digital Homes did a very nice job installing 10 TV’s various sound bars, outdoor audio, wiring for blinds, control 4 integration all in a timely and quality manner. Even better everyone you encounter from DH is nice to work with. Can be a high stress issue on a new build timeline and they handle it well. DaveOctober 24, 2018Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark and his staff installed a smart system, including audio, video, security and automatic blinds, in my home over 5 years ago. As with all electronics, things sometimes break. However, when they do, Mark is always responsive, upfront, honest and most importantly, his guys do great work in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend Digital Homes for your smart home and automation needs.Showing only 4-5 star reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
