Services
We focus on real-life safety concerns that families worry about every day — and address them with simple, reliable solutions that don’t overwhelm.
Fall Prevention & Nighttime Safety
Falls are one of the most common risks for seniors, especially at night. We install automatic, motion‑activated lighting in key areas like hallways and bathrooms so your loved one can move safely without fumbling for switches in the dark.
Emergency Help — Made Simple
In an emergency, every second matters. We set up hands‑free emergency calling that works by voice alone, so help is always accessible — even if a phone isn’t nearby or a wearable device isn’t being used.
Awareness & Peace of Mind for Families
For families who can’t be there all the time, knowing what’s happening day to day brings peace of mind. We offer gentle activity and door alerts that notify you of unusual patterns — without invading privacy or creating constant interruptions.
Reliable Setup & Connectivity
Safety technology only works if it’s dependable. We make sure Wi‑Fi coverage is strong where it matters most and keep systems simple, stable, and easy to use — with no confusing apps or unnecessary complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a “smart home installer” do?
We professionally set up and connect devices like smart lights, thermostats, cameras, voice assistants, and more — then walk you through how to use them. We handle the technical side so everything just works.
How do I know what I need?
Every project starts with a short consultation — either by phone or in person. We’ll discuss your goals, assess your Wi-Fi and devices, and recommend the best options for your home so everything fits your needs and budget.
Do I need new equipment, or can you install what I already own?
Both! We can install new devices you’ve purchased or configure the equipment you already have. During your consultation, we’ll make sure everything is compatible and will work together smoothly.
Is my Wi-Fi strong enough for smart home devices?
Most homes can handle it with no problems or just a few small adjustments. We test your network during setup and can improve your Wi-Fi coverage so every device stays connected reliably.
Do I need a special license or electrician to install smart devices?
Not for the services we provide. We handle low-voltage and consumer smart tech installations that don’t require electrical rewiring — no electrician or permit needed.
Can you help me with security systems and smart locks?
Yes. We install smart cameras, doorbells, and locks that you control from your phone. We don’t duplicate keys or rekey mechanical locks — everything we do is focused on electronic smart home security.
How long does a typical installation take?
Most visits take 1–3 hours, depending on how many devices you’re setting up. Larger systems (like full lighting or camera networks) may take a half-day or more. We always give you an estimate before starting.
What areas do you serve?
We’re based in the Coachella Valley and provide in-home service throughout the surrounding desert communities.
What if I’m not tech-savvy?
Not to worry — that’s who we’re here for. We take our time explaining how everything works and make sure you feel comfortable using your new setup before we leave.
Is my information private when you set up cameras or smart devices?
Yes. We treat your privacy seriously. We only access your devices long enough to connect and test them, and you’ll always have full control of your accounts and passwords.
