Discovery & requirements
We map your spaces, routines, and constraints (rental vs. owner-occupied, multi-user access, elderly or accessibility needs, local network realities). Deliverables can include a prioritized backlog and risk register so you can phase spend.
Architecture & platform selection
We produce a target architecture: hubs, radios (Zigbee / Thread / Matter / Z-Wave), lighting and shade strategy, climate and energy hooks, and IP-camera posture where applicable. We call out dependency chains — e.g., what must exist before you buy the next tranche of hardware.
Integration & commissioning
We provide device pairing checklists, naming conventions, scene definitions, and acceptance tests. For on-site commissioning, we coordinate with installers you select or introduce — scope, visits, and warranties are spelled out in the engagement, never assumed.
Automation & “quiet home” operation
Beyond toggles: circadian lighting, away modes, leak and smoke escalation paths, guest access, and rollback when the internet blips. Automations are documented in human language so your household isn’t locked into one person’s head.
Support & iteration
Optional retainers for seasonal reviews, firmware-change monitoring, and small change requests — remote-first, with clear SLAs discussed up front.
