Smart Home Done Properly.
Smart home is one of those categories where bad installs are everywhere. The cheap smart switch that drops off Wi-Fi every two days. The doorbell mounted with a 3-prong adapter that overheats. The Lutron hub stuck behind a TV with no airflow. The "scene" that requires three taps to turn off the kitchen lights. Most "smart" homes are dumber than the dumb home they replaced.
We install smart home like we install electrical — with the same discipline. Pull neutrals where required. Mount hubs where they have signal and ventilation. Configure scenes that actually map to how you live. Document the app credentials so the next person who lives in the house can take it over. Smart home that works is the goal — not smart home that’s impressive on the listing photos.
What We Install.
- Lutron Caseta — residential smart dimmers, switches, fan controls, plug-in lamp dimmers. Best mid-tier system.
- Lutron RadioRA 2 and RadioRA 3 — professional whole-home systems with keypads, scene control, app and voice integration
- Leviton Decora Smart — Wi-Fi smart switches, dimmers, plugs — budget-friendly alternative when Caseta is overkill
- Smart thermostats — Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell — including C-wire pulls for older HVAC systems
- Smart doorbells — Ring, Nest Doorbell, Eufy — properly hardwired with transformer upgrades where required
- Smart locks — August, Yale, Schlage Encode — deadbolt swap and Wi-Fi/Z-Wave configuration
- Smart garage door openers — MyQ, integrations with HomeKit/Alexa/Google
- Whole-home audio — Sonos, in-ceiling speakers, amplifier wiring
- Network and Wi-Fi infrastructure — Cat6 drops, mesh access points (Eero, Orbi, Ubiquiti)
- Smart panels — Span Smart Panel, Schneider Square D Energy Center for whole-home energy monitoring
- Brilliant Control — in-wall touchscreens replacing standard switches
- Hub configuration — Hubitat, SmartThings, HomeKit, Home Assistant integrations
- Voice assistant setup — Alexa Echo Hub, Google Nest Hub, Apple HomePod
Our Smart Home Process.
- Walk-Through & PlanWhat do you want to control? What do you have already (devices, hubs, apps, accounts)? What ecosystem are you committed to (Apple, Google, Amazon, none)? We map the install to your existing setup, not a generic template.
- Site AssessmentCheck switch boxes for neutral wires. Verify Wi-Fi signal strength at planned device locations. Identify hub locations with proper power, signal, and airflow.
- Written QuoteItemized: device count, brands, programming time, neutral pulls if required, network upgrades if recommended.
- InstallReplace switches, hardwire devices, mount hubs, run network drops as needed. Test each device individually as we go.
- ConfigurationConnect to your existing accounts (or set up fresh). Name devices logically (not "Switch 1" and "Switch 2"). Build scenes that match how you actually use the house. Configure schedules and automations.
- Walkthrough & Handoff30 minutes with you. Show every device. Walk through the app. Document credentials so you don’t lose access later. Answer questions.
Cost & Timeline.
Typical timeline: 1 hour to 5 days depending on scope. Single switch: same-day. Caseta system: 1-2 days. RadioRA whole-home: 2-5 days plus programming.
The Ecosystem Question.
Apple HomeKit. Google Home. Amazon Alexa. Hubitat. Home Assistant. Samsung SmartThings. Lutron app. Brilliant. Crestron. Savant. The ecosystem you commit to matters more than the brand of switch you buy — it’s what determines how everything plays together. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs honestly: HomeKit is the cleanest if you’re Apple-only, Hubitat is the most flexible if you want local control, RadioRA + custom integration is the gold standard for premium homes that want it to work without a Wi-Fi outage taking everything down. We don’t push you into one because we sell hardware (we don’t). We push you into the one that fits how you actually live.
Yarden’s company was the first to call me — same day within an hour. He installed a smart doorbell and made the whole process really easy. Friendly, didn’t rush, took time to listen.
