What We Install

Smart Home Devices, Installed to Work Together

We do not sell a brand. We assess the house, recommend what fits it, and make the pieces talk to each other.

Smart Locks & Entry

  • Keypad and app entry, no keys to copy
  • A separate code per family member, guest, or cleaner
  • Codes you can schedule, expire, or revoke remotely
  • Entry log showing who came in and when
  • Physical key override always kept in place

Cameras & Video Doorbells

  • Doorbell cameras with two-way audio
  • Exterior cameras with motion alerts to your phone
  • Local recording so you are not tied to a subscription
  • Night vision that works on a dark Florida street
  • Integrated into the same app as your locks

Thermostats & Climate

  • Remote control of temperature and humidity
  • Humidity management matters more here than heat
  • Caps so a guest cannot set it to 65 degrees

Honest Comparison

When a DIY Kit Is Enough — and When It Is Not

A DIY kit is fine if…

  • You want one doorbell and one lock, nothing more
  • Your WiFi already reaches every corner reliably
  • You enjoy troubleshooting apps and firmware
  • Nothing you add touches line voltage

Call us instead when…

  • You have dead zones, or devices that drop offline
  • Switches, dimmers or panel work are involved
  • You want brands from different makers in one app
  • The house is a rental or sits empty part of the year
  • You want one company accountable for all of it

We will tell you honestly which side you fall on during the free assessment. If a $200 doorbell solves your problem, we will say so.

Who We Set Up

Three Very Different Homes, Three Different Systems

The Home You Live In

  • Convenience first: locks, lighting scenes, climate
  • Cameras at entries and driveway
  • Leak sensors where a pipe would do real damage
  • Everything on one app for the whole family
  • Grows in stages as you want to add to it

The Vacation Rental

  • A door code per guest, expiring at checkout
  • Exterior cameras to spot parties and overstays
  • Thermostat limits so bills stay predictable
  • Leak and freeze alerts while nobody is there
  • You see every property from one place

The Seasonal or Second Home

  • Check the house from another state
  • Water shut-off that acts before you can
  • Humidity monitoring through the summer
  • Storm verification with dated photos for insurance
  • A local company that can go look in person
How It Works

From First Visit to Handover

1

Free On-Site Assessment

We walk the house, test where your WiFi actually reaches, and look at what you already own. You get a written recommendation, not a sales pitch.

2

A Plan You Approve

Device list, what gets wired, what it costs, and which parts carry a monthly fee. Nothing starts until you say yes.

3

Installation

Cabling and line-voltage work first, devices second. We protect surfaces, work clean, and leave the house tidy.

4

Setup and Handover

We configure everything in one app, add the people who need access, and sit down with you until you can run it yourself.

FAQ

Smart Home Automation — Common Questions

A DIY kit leans entirely on your home WiFi and the manufacturer’s cloud. When the WiFi drops or the app changes, the system becomes unreliable. We wire what should be wired, put the devices on a network built to carry them, and configure everything under one app. As a licensed electrical contractor, anything touching line voltage is done to code and permitted.

Usually yes. Most current locks, thermostats, cameras and lighting speak a common standard, and we build around a controller that ties them together. At the free assessment we check what you already own and tell you plainly what will integrate and what will not.

Yes. They run on batteries, so a power cut does not lock you out, and they keep working from the keypad or key without internet — you only lose remote access until the connection returns. We always leave a documented backup entry method.

Yes, and it is the feature rental owners use most. Each person gets their own code that you can schedule, expire automatically, or revoke from your phone, with a log of who entered and when. No keys to hand over, no lockbox on the porch.

They give you the warning that decides how bad it gets. Sensors under sinks, behind the water heater and at the laundry alert your phone on contact with moisture. Paired with an automatic shut-off valve, the water stops before it reaches the flooring. For a seasonal home it is the most cost-effective device we install.

Yes — rentals on Siesta Key, Longboat Key and around Sarasota are regular work for us. A typical setup pairs guest codes with exterior cameras, a thermostat you can cap remotely, and leak sensors, all visible from one app whether you are in town or out of state.

A focused job — locks, a thermostat and some sensors — is usually one day. A whole-home system with lighting, cameras and network work runs two to four days. In new construction the wiring goes in before drywall and the devices are set up at the end.

Not for the automation itself. Locks, lighting, thermostats and local camera recording work with no monthly fee. Subscriptions only apply if you want cloud video history or professional 24/7 alarm monitoring, and we tell you up front which parts carry a recurring cost.
