Services Four engagements, one practice

Advice first. Wires second.

Every engagement is scoped to your home and your household. You can stop after any stage with something useful in hand — and you never owe us for equipment, because we don't sell any.

01

Where everyone starts

Assessment

A thorough, unhurried look at the home you have: every connected device, the network that carries it, and the routines your household actually keeps.

  • On-site walkthrough with the people who live there
  • Inventory of devices, apps, accounts, and the cloud services each depends on
  • Network, coverage, and security review
  • A plain-language privacy map: what each device shares, and with whom
  • A findings meeting with prioritized, no-obligation recommendations
  • You receiveThe Assessment Report and a recorded findings session
  • Typical length2–3 weeks from first visit
  • FeeFixed, quoted before we begin
02

The plan

Blueprint

A written design for how your home should think: which devices coordinate, where AI runs, what stays local, and the order to do it in.

  • System architecture drawn for your specific home
  • Local-first AI recommendations, with cloud services only where they're clearly better
  • Routines and automations written as everyday scenarios you can approve
  • Brand-neutral equipment guidance for anything that truly needs replacing
  • A phased budget, including what we suggest you don't buy
  • You receiveThe Blueprint document, diagrams, and a phased cost estimate
  • Typical length3–5 weeks
  • FeeFixed, based on the size and complexity of the home
03

Making it real

Integration

We configure, connect, and test the system described in your Blueprint — and coordinate the licensed trades whenever the work goes behind a wall.

  • Configuration of hubs, local AI services, voice, lighting, climate, and energy systems
  • Coordination with your electrician, AV installer, architect, or builder
  • Household onboarding, sized to everyone from teenagers to grandparents
  • Testing under real conditions, including what happens when the internet goes down
  • Handover of the House Book: every setting, account, and decision, documented
  • You receiveA working system, trained household, and your House Book
  • Typical lengthSet by the Blueprint
  • FeeQuoted per project; equipment is purchased directly by you
04

Ongoing care

  • Monitored updates for firmware, apps, and local AI models
  • Seasonal reviews of routines, energy use, and security
  • A named consultant who already knows your home
  • Priority help when something stops behaving
  • An annual House Book update
  • You receiveContinuity, and a person to call

Specialties Where we're asked most often

The homes we know best.

Existing homes

Retrofitting intelligence into houses built long before anyone imagined it, without opening every wall.

Renovations & new builds

Joining your architect and builder early, so the wiring, network, and AI plan are drawn in from the start.

Aging in place

Gentle routines and opt-in awareness that help a parent stay independent, with family kept informed.

Second homes

Quiet monitoring for water, temperature, and power, so a house you aren't in can still tell you how it is.

Boundaries What we don't do

Some things we decided against.

  • Sell or resell hardware
  • Accept referral fees or commissions
  • Lock you into a single platform
  • Keep copies of your household data
  • Hold your passwords after handover
  • Recommend replacing what still works
