TV Install Chicago × Risen Dust · October 2026
HARDWARE MEETS SOFTWARE: ONE TEAM, BOTH SIDES OF THE WALL
Most installers stop at the bracket. Most developers have never pulled a cable. We do both — and that changes what your system can do.
Two Halves Of The Same Job
TV Install Chicago handles the physical side: TVs, sound, cameras, networking, remotes and control systems, mounted and wired properly.
Risen Dust handles the software side: websites, dashboards, apps and custom tools — including the code that runs on the hardware we install.
Usually those are two different companies who never talk to each other. When something doesn't work, each one points at the other. With us, there's no one to point at.
Why That's The Smart Choice
Fewer handoffs. The person who wires the system is the person who programs it. Nothing gets lost between the installer, the IT guy and the app developer.
Built around you, not the product. Most installers can only set up what a device already does. We can write the missing piece — a custom dashboard, an automation, a bridge between two systems that were never designed to talk.
Local and future-proof. We've watched products like Logitech Harmony get discontinued and leave owners stuck. We favour setups that run on your own network, so a company changing its mind doesn't break your house or business.
Grows with you. Start with one room, one remote or one screen. Add cameras, signage, lighting or a customer-facing app later without starting over.
What It Looks Like In Practice
A restaurant gets cameras installed and a simple viewer page staff can actually use, instead of a confusing manufacturer app.
A business gets digital signage mounted and a system that updates the screens without anyone touching a USB stick.
A homeowner gets one remote — or one app — for the TV, lights and cameras, running locally on Home Assistant.
A contractor gets a website, a lead system and the jobsite tech, from one call.
We're Looking For Partners
As we expand what we can build and install, we're always looking for people to grow with: contractors, electricians, integrators, property managers, and businesses that need hardware installed, software built, or both.
Maybe you install and need someone who codes. Maybe you build software and need someone who can put it on a wall. Maybe you have a building full of screens and nobody to manage them. Let's talk.
Common Questions
What is Risen Dust?
Risen Dust is the web development and software side of TV Install Chicago. It builds websites, dashboards, apps and custom tools, including the software that runs on the hardware we install.
Why does it matter if my installer can write software?
Most installers can only set up what a product already does. When the installer can also write code, the system can be adapted to how you actually work: custom dashboards, automations, integrations between devices that were never designed to talk, and fixes when a manufacturer drops support.
Do you work with other businesses and installers?
Yes. We partner with contractors, integrators, property managers and businesses that need hardware installed, software built, or both. Reach out to talk about what you are working on.
Let's Build Something Together
Partnership, a project, or just an idea you want a second opinion on.
