Buy it once. Own it forever. No monthly subscriptions, no paywalled features, and no hidden charges to access your own data. Every core feature works right out of the box—giving you premium automation without the endless bill.
Smart technology, zero damage. Perfect for renters and homeowners alike, our setup requires no tearing open walls, rewiring, or permanent modifications. Simply plug, stick, and sync—upgrading your space in minutes and taking it with you whenever you move.
Yes! You don't need any special skills or experience to get started as a smart home hobbyist. That's how we got started. There are tons of resources online, and it's free to get started.
The first place to look is the Home Assistant website: https://www.home-assistant.io/
If you encounter any obstacles, need assistance installing an ambitious system, or simply prefer not to manage your installation anymore, feel free to reach out—we're here to help!
While there are zero mandatory ongoing fees, the founders of Home Assistant also run a business called Nabu Casa, that provides a secure, seamless, and affordable solution for accessing your home server and storing backups. They provide this optional add-on for $8.70 per month or $87.00 per year.
This is the only paid subscription that we would typically recommend, and the only paid subscription we use on our own home installations.
No! We prioritize non-destructive installation methods where possible. This means secure wireless systems, battery powered or plug-in devices, or like-for-like replacements of fixtures and switches.
The only wiring that we do run is Ethernet cable, which is required for some power-over-Ethernet (POE) devices.
