Smart home in Boston, MA
Cameras, doorbells, thermostats, locks, hubs. We get them talking and walk you through the apps.
How much does smart home cost in Boston?
Estimates are typical residential ranges and assume our standard hourly rate. Because we bill hourly, the final cost depends on how long the job actually takes — it can run higher. A business rate or any active discount may change your price. You'll always get a real quote after diagnosis.
Smart-home gear is getting cheaper and better, but "compatible" is still a lie half the time. We pick what actually works together, install it, set up the routines, and leave you with one app that controls everything you care about.
Much of our Boston work is in older triple-deckers and brick walk-ups around Cambridge, Somerville, and the Back Bay, where plaster-and-lath walls and tight wiring closets make networking and mounting jobs trickier than they'd be in a new build.
Smart-home setup means installing and integrating cameras, doorbells, locks, thermostats, and lights so they work together through a single app — Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, or Home Assistant. "Compatible" on the box doesn't always mean compatible in practice.

What problems does smart home fix?
Just bought the gear, can't get it working
QR codes that won't scan, devices that show up offline, an app that wants you to make 4 accounts. Common — fixable in one visit.
Want a security setup
Cameras at the doors, smart lock, motion lights, alerts to your phone. We design and install the whole package.
Want it to feel automatic
Lights on at sunset, thermostat down at bedtime, door locks at 11pm if you forget. Routines tailored to your schedule.
Apple Home vs. Google vs. Alexa vs. Home Assistant
Apple Home
iPhone household, want privacy by default, willing to pay slightly more for HomeKit-certified hardware.
Google Home
Android household, want the strongest voice assistant for general questions and Calendar/Gmail integration.
Alexa
Largest device ecosystem, best for shopping integration, more compromises on data privacy.
Home Assistant
You want full control, are comfortable running software yourself, and don't mind a learning curve in exchange for no vendor lock-in.
Common questions
How fast can you get to me in Boston?+
Same-day service is usually available throughout our 35-mile Boston service area. Booking online is the fastest path; for an urgent job — data loss, ransomware, a business outage — call (833) 429-4335 and we'll dispatch as soon as a tech is free.
Apple Home, Google, or Alexa?+
Whichever you already use. We'll match your existing ecosystem unless you want to switch.
Is it secure?+
We install on a separate IoT network so a hacked smart bulb can't reach your computer or banking.
