Smart devices are easy to buy and surprisingly annoying to live with when they are half set up. We get yours working together, connected safely, and simple enough that everyone in the house can use it.
The trouble with smart home gear is rarely the individual device. It is that the lights are in one app, the thermostat is in another, the doorbell only works on the 2.4GHz network nobody can find, the hub was set up on someone's old phone, and half of it stops responding whenever the Wi-Fi hiccups. We sort out the foundation first - your network - then set the devices up on it properly, put them in one place you can control them from, and show you how it works. We are also happy to tell you which smart devices are not worth buying.
Hubs & Voice Assistants
Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, or Home Assistant set up on an account that belongs to you, with the household added properly so it does not all break when one person changes their password.
Smart Lighting
Bulbs, switches, and plugs installed and grouped by room, named so voice control understands them, and set up with the schedules and scenes you actually asked for.
Thermostats
Smart thermostat installation and configuration, including checking that your HVAC wiring supports it before you buy one - the common wire problem that stalls a lot of these installs.
Locks & Doorbells
Video doorbells and smart locks set up with reliable notifications, working codes for family and guests, and a clear answer about where the video goes and who can see it.
Smart TVs & Streaming
TVs, streaming boxes, and sound bars connected, signed in, and configured - plus turning off the tracking and ad features most smart TVs ship with switched on.
Automations & Routines
The part people rarely get to: lights that follow sunset, a good night routine that locks up and turns things off, away mode when everyone leaves. Set up so it is useful rather than a novelty.
Safe Network Setup
Smart devices are the least secure things in most homes. We put them on their own network, change the default passwords, keep their firmware current, and keep them away from your computers.
Fixing What Is Already There
Devices that dropped off months ago, gear left behind by the previous owner, an app nobody has the login for. We inventory what you have, reconnect what is worth keeping, and retire what is not.
Most smart home frustration is a Wi-Fi problem wearing a costume. We check coverage and set the network up right before installing devices on it, which is why the result stays working.
Default passwords changed, devices separated from your computers, firmware updated, and a straight answer about what each device sends out of your house. Cheap connected devices are a real risk and we treat them like one.
We are not tied to any smart home brand, and we would rather talk you out of a bad device than install one. If something you are considering is unreliable or about to lose vendor support, we will say so before you buy it.
Computer Repair & Tech Help
Slow, infected, or just not behaving? We come to your house, figure out what is actually wrong, and fix it while you watch - instead of you dropping the machine off somewhere and waiting two weeks to hear back.

The back bedroom with no signal. The video call that drops every afternoon. The TV that buffers while everything else is fine. These are fixable, and usually not by buying a bigger router.

A camera system is only worth having if the footage is there when you need it and you can reach it from your phone without a fight. That is a configuration problem more than a hardware problem, and it is the part we handle.
