Home automation & smart homes
A smart home that's reliable, private and actually easy for the whole family to use.
What I help with
Smart homes can quickly turn into a pile of apps and devices that don't talk to each other. I design systems around a solid hub and local control, so things keep working even when the internet doesn't — and I can maintain them over time as your home grows.
- Home Assistant and Hubitat setup and migration
- Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter and Thread networks
- Lighting, scenes, sensors and schedules
- Automations that actually make life easier

- Troubleshooting unreliable devices
- Ongoing maintenance and updates

Common questions
Which platform should I use?
It depends on your goals, comfort level and existing devices. I'll walk you through the trade-offs and recommend what fits.
Can you fix my existing setup?
Yes. Many projects start with an unreliable system that just needs a better design or a cleaner configuration.
Will it work without the internet?
Wherever possible I prioritize local control, so key automations keep running even during an internet outage.
