Smart Homes
Cameras, networking, lighting, climate, and whole-home automation. Documented installs that are still working five years from now.
Most homeowners we meet have a graveyard of smart gear that worked for six months and then quietly stopped. The reason is almost always the same: the original installer wasn't accountable, the network underneath wasn't built right, and there's no documentation. We design smart homes the way we design construction — with a plan, an as-built diagram, and one team accountable when something needs fixing.
What this looks like
Security & monitoring
Hardwired and wireless camera systems, doorbells, sensors, and monitored alarm integration. Properly mounted, properly aimed, and properly retrievable footage.
Lighting & climate
Lutron, Control4, and Z-Wave lighting control, smart thermostats, and climate zoning. Scenes that match how you actually live, not vendor demo defaults.
Networking done right
Mesh Wi-Fi, hardwired CAT6 backhaul, enterprise-grade access points. The foundation that makes every smart device above actually work.
Whole-home automation
Scenes, schedules, voice control, and cross-device automations. One app, one login, one number to call when something needs adjusting.
Common questions
- Do you bundle smart-home work with construction projects?
- Yes — and the cabling-during-construction phase is the cheapest moment to do it. While walls are open, hardwiring runs that would be painful retrofits become trivial.
- What documentation do I get?
- An as-built network diagram, a credentials package in a password manager, the model and serial of every device, and a service plan you can hand to anyone if Touchstone isn't around.
- Are you tied to a specific brand?
- No. We spec the right product for your home and budget — Ubiquiti, Lutron, Control4, Sonos, whoever. We don't take vendor kickbacks.
