What this covers
Smart switches and adding neutrals
Most smart switches need a neutral conductor, and older California switch boxes often do not have one. We pull it rather than sell you a workaround that fails.
Structured data cabling
Cat6 runs to TVs, offices, access points and cameras. Wireless is convenient, but the backbone should be wire.
Video doorbells and cameras
Proper transformers for doorbells and real power for cameras instead of a chain of adapters in the attic.
Wi-Fi access point power
Ceiling-mounted access points fed with PoE and placed for coverage instead of wherever the cable happened to reach.
Smart panels and circuit monitoring
Per-circuit energy monitoring so you can see what is actually costing you money, and control loads during peak rates.
Automation for lighting and shades
Scenes, keypads and schedules wired so the switch on the wall still works normally for anyone who does not use the app.

Questions
Why does my smart switch not work in my older California home?
Usually the switch box has no neutral conductor. Older wiring often ran only a switch loop, and most smart switches need a neutral to power their radio. We can pull a neutral to the box, which makes the switch reliable instead of intermittent.
Do I need Ethernet if I have good Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is only as good as what feeds it. Running Cat6 to access points, TVs and a home office in California removes the congestion that makes wireless feel slow, and it makes cameras far more dependable.
Can you wire cameras and a video doorbell?
Yes. Doorbells need a correctly sized transformer, which is the single most common reason they fail. Cameras get real power and cable runs rather than adapters tucked into the eaves.
Will smart wiring still work if the internet goes down?
It should, and we design for it. Hardwired switches keep working as normal switches, and local control keeps scenes running. Anything that bricks your lights when the internet drops is a bad design.
Can you retrofit smart wiring without tearing up walls?
Usually a lot of it, yes. Attics, crawlspaces and closets carry most runs in California homes. We plan routes first and open finished wall only where there is no alternative.
