Smart Home Wiring & Automation
Quick answer
Smart home infrastructure done by licensed electricians, switches, sensors, hubs, and the wiring that makes automation reliable instead of flaky. Projects typically $500–$5,000 by scope.Typical installed cost: $500–$5,000
The difference between a smart home and a box of gadgets is infrastructure: neutral wires where switches need them, wired backbones where Wi-Fi can't be trusted, hubs placed for coverage, and one coherent platform instead of nine apps. We design and wire homes that automate reliably for years.
About Smart Home Wiring & Automation
Ask anyone with a frustrating smart home what went wrong and the answer is never the gadgets, it's the foundation. Switches bought before checking for neutrals. Hubs tucked in a metal-shelved closet. Fifty Wi-Fi devices on a router meant for ten. Automation is an infrastructure project wearing a consumer-product costume.
We build the infrastructure layer: neutrals pulled where control points need them, wired backbone to fixed devices, hub and access-point placement mapped to the floor plan, and load-side wiring for motorized shades, heated floors, and whatever the plan calls for. Then the gadgets just work.
The reliability hierarchy we design by
- Lutron ClearConnect / Thread: control that never gets discussed again
- Wired ethernet: cameras, APs, hubs, TVs, anything fixed
- Zigbee/Z-Wave mesh: sensors and battery devices
- Wi-Fi: last resort, for devices with no better radio

Match the platform to the family: Apple Home for iPhone households, Google or Alexa where their speakers already live, with Lutron and Matter/Thread devices underneath for reliability. We wire so the platform can change without rewiring.
Wire what's fixed and critical, switches, cameras, access points, TV locations. Wireless is fine for sensors and accessories. Wired backbones are why professional smart homes don't glitch.
Very often, the usual fixes are missing neutrals, weak hub placement, Wi-Fi congestion, and mixed ecosystems fighting. We audit, consolidate, and stabilize.
Yes, the best smart home is designed at framing: conduit to shade pockets, neutral-rich switch boxes, ceiling sensor drops, and structured wiring throughout. It costs a fraction of retrofitting.
