Smart Home Technology For Aging in Place and Activities of Daily Living
We help older adults and their families create safer, more comfortable homes that support independence without sacrificing privacy or dignity. Our systems provide motion-activated lighting for nighttime safety, support for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), emergency alerts, and temperature monitoring—all while keeping control local, not in the cloud. Whether you're planning ahead for yourself or supporting aging parents, we design automation that respects autonomy, reduces fall risks, and gives everyone peace of mind without feeling like surveillance.
Support Independent Living
Smart Property Automation For Property Managers, Short-Term Rentals, & Real Estate Investors

Our systems cut operating costs, reduce wear and tear, and help you stand out in a crowded market—leading to higher ratings, better retention, and fewer headaches. With tools like water leak prevention and occupancy-based controls, you can manage more properties with less effort and more return.
Get My Rental Set Up RightWhy Local Control Smart Home Automation Means Better Privacy For Your Household and Zero Monthly Fees
Your smart home should work for you, not for tech companies collecting your data or charging you monthly subscriptions to access your own devices.
At Serenity Smart Homes, we believe your home automation should be truly yours: private, reliable, and free from recurring fees. That's why we specialize in secure, locally-controlled smart home systems and platforms that protect your privacy by keeping your data in your home, not in someone else's cloud.
Understanding Your Local Control Smart Home Options
Not all smart home protocols are created equal. Some keep your data local, while others require cloud connections that can fail or charge you monthly fees.
Learn which home automation technologies give you the best balance of privacy, reliability, and performance:
- What the Sengled outage taught us about cloud reliance - real-world lessons on why local control matters
- Zigbee vs Z-Wave: Which protocol should you choose? - comparing two of the most popular local-control options
- Matter over Thread showdown - understanding the newest smart home standard
- Loxone & Home Assistant - why we use these two platforms to create robust privacy-focused smart homes for our clients
What Local Control Means for Your Wallet
Zero monthly fees. No subscriptions. No surprises.
When your smart home runs locally on your own hardware, you're not paying:
- $10-30/month for cloud storage and "advanced features"
- $100-360/year per device for video recording
- Premium tiers just to unlock features you already paid for
That's $1,200-$4,000 in savings over just 10 years—plus the peace of mind knowing your cameras, sensors, and automation keep working even if a company goes out of business or decides to raise prices.
"I was paying Ring $20/month for cloud storage across three cameras. Ashley showed me how to set up local recording with Home Assistant—now I have unlimited storage, faster alerts, and I've already saved over $500 in subscription fees I'm never paying again."
Ready to take back control of your smart home—and stop paying monthly fees? Our smart home consultation and installation services will design a system that works for you, not against you.
