About Ashley Williams | ✨ Not Your Average Smart Home Installer

Before founding Serenity Smart Homes, I spent over two decades in internet infrastructure and cybersecurity, solving complex technical problems and translating them into plain language for technical and nontechnical stakeholders alike.

I've worked with globally distributed systems and know exactly how to bridge the gap between cutting-edge tech and real-life needs. Now, I bring that same clarity, compassion, and technical precision into homes and commercial spaces that deserve better.

My journey into smart home automation started with a simple moment: walking into the kitchen to find the fridge door wide open, courtesy of my then-toddler's snack expedition. That one "there has to be a better way" moment launched a deep dive into building a home that supported my real life. From figuring out the difference between Zigbee vs. Z-Wave to choosing Homebridge vs. Home Assistant, I became the go-to tech guide for building smarter, more responsive spaces.

For families, that means smart systems that simplify routines, support sensory needs related to autism and in-home elder care, and help everyone feel a little more grounded—especially when the day gets chaotic. For small business owners, real estate investors, and property managers, that means automation and security solutions that improve tenant safety, reduce manual tasks, and elevate the experience for everyone who walks through your doors. And we do it all without locking you into one platform or ecosystem.

Your space should work with you—not against you.

Whether it's a door chime that alerts you when a child starts to wander, lights that gently wind down the evening, or temperature and access controls that respond to who's in the space, we'll create a system that brings you more comfort, more peace of mind, and more room to breathe.

Let’s build a smarter home—or building—together.
