Smart home integration
Local control first—your house, not a data product
We build smart-home setups centered on a local Home Assistant hub and a network that supports it: reliable wireless, isolated IoT VLANs, and automations that keep working when the internet hiccups.
What we can do
- Home Assistant as the brain: one interface for lighting, climate, sensors, locks, cameras (where appropriate), and AV triggers—without chaining you to vendor clouds for basic operation.
- Radio layers: Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread/Matter-adjacent planning, and MQTT where it is the right tool—chosen for stability and local control.
- Network co-design: mDNS, multicast, and firewall rules that let automations work without punching unnecessary holes in security.
- Scenes and automations that match how you live: occupancy, time-of-day, seasonal adjustments, and safety-oriented defaults.
- Gradual migration off siloed ecosystems when you are ready—phased so you are not replacing every device at once.
- Documentation for what runs where, which integrations are cloud-dependent (if any), and how to recover after a power outage.
Privacy stance
We bias toward devices and patterns that keep telemetry local. When a cloud is unavoidable for a specific device, we make that explicit so you can choose with open eyes.
Good fits
- Families tired of juggling a dozen vendor apps for basics.
- Anyone who wants automations that respect network segmentation and security.
- Households already investing in a solid LAN who want the smart layer to match.
