You're not alone.
Maybe you've been researching smart home systems for months, comparing Zigbee to Z-Wave, reading Reddit threads about Matter compatibility, and wondering if you're making the right choices. Or perhaps you've already installed a few devices that sort of work together, but nothing feels truly integrated.
You know what you want: a home that responds to your needs without requiring constant attention. Lights that adjust automatically. Climate control that learns your preferences. Water leak detection that prevents disaster. Security that protects without invading your privacy.
What you don't want is another monthly subscription, another app to download, or another system that stops working when the manufacturer decides to shut down their servers.
That's exactly why we built our installation process around something different: the Serenity Command Center, your home's dedicated automation hub running on open-source technology that you actually own.
The Serenity Command Center: Your Home's Control Foundation
Your dedicated control hub, professionally configured and secured
What Makes It Different
At the heart of every Serenity Smart Homes installation is a professionally configured control hub that runs entirely on your property. No cloud servers processing your data. No monthly fees for features you already paid for. No wondering if your system will still work in five years.
Built on Home Assistant, the open-source platform trusted by millions worldwide, your Command Center integrates with over 3,000 brands and protocols. This means you're never locked into one manufacturer's ecosystem, and you're protected when companies inevitably discontinue products or shut down cloud services.
Why Open-Source Technology Protects Your Investment
When manufacturers control your smart home, they control your choices. Open-source technology returns that control to you.
Freedom From Cloud Dependency
Your home shouldn't stop working because a company's servers went down or they decided to discontinue support. The Serenity Command Center processes everything locally, meaning your automations run whether you have internet access or not.
You maintain full control over your data. Security footage stays on your property. Activity logs remain private. No corporate algorithm learns your schedule or sells access to your habits.
True System Ownership
You own the hardware. You own the software. You own the automations we create together. There's no ransom to access features you've already purchased, and no subscription required to unlock capabilities.
When you work with us, you're making a one-time investment in infrastructure that serves you indefinitely, not signing up for another recurring expense that erodes your budget month after month.
Future-Proof Technology
Smart home technology changes rapidly. Protocols evolve. New devices launch. Companies merge or disappear. Your Command Center adapts because it's built on open standards that work with whatever comes next.
Want to add new devices five years from now? No problem. Need to integrate with a platform that doesn't exist yet? The open-source community will likely support it before proprietary systems do.
Professional-Grade Reliability
Open-source doesn't mean hobbyist. The same platform powering your home runs in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and enterprise environments worldwide. We configure it with enterprise-grade security standards and optimize it for rock-solid performance.
Remote Access Done Right
Control From Anywhere, Securely
Your Serenity Command Center includes professionally configured remote access that lets you control your home from anywhere in the world without exposing your system to unnecessary security risks.
We implement encrypted connections using enterprise VPN technology, not consumer-grade cloud services that create privacy vulnerabilities. You get the convenience of remote control with the security of local processing.
- Adjust climate settings from your office
- Check security cameras while traveling
- Verify doors are locked from anywhere
- Grant temporary access to contractors or guests
- Monitor environmental sensors remotely
I can check on my rental properties from my phone without worrying about monthly fees or privacy concerns. Everything just works, and I know my data stays on my property.
Expert Support That Grows With You
Installation is just the beginning. We provide ongoing remote support and troubleshooting to keep your system running flawlessly.
Remote Diagnostics and Resolution
Because your Command Center is built on professional infrastructure, we can often diagnose and resolve issues remotely without scheduling a service visit. Firmware updates, automation adjustments, and system optimizations happen efficiently without disrupting your day.
When you contact us with a question or concern, we're working with a system we designed and installed. We know exactly how it's configured, what devices are integrated, and how your automations are structured. This means faster resolution and better support than you'd get from a generic helpdesk.
Proactive System Monitoring
We configure your Command Center to alert us when something needs attention before it becomes a problem. Low device batteries, failing sensors, network issues, or performance degradation all trigger notifications that let us address concerns proactively.
Your system includes health monitoring that tracks uptime, connectivity, and performance. We use this data to optimize your configuration over time and recommend improvements that enhance reliability.
Our Installation Process: Designed Around Your Life
We don't just install devices. We design integrated systems that solve real problems in your actual home.
Step 1: Design Consultation
We start by understanding how you live. What frustrates you about your current setup? What would make daily routines smoother? What keeps you up at night worrying about your property?
This 90-minute session can happen virtually or in your home. We map out your space, identify integration opportunities, and create a detailed plan that addresses your specific needs rather than selling you a generic package.
Step 2: Professional Installation
Our team handles everything from network optimization to device placement to Command Center configuration. We coordinate with your electrician if needed for hardwired devices, but most installations work within your existing infrastructure.
Every component is tested before we leave. Automations are configured and verified. Remote access is secured and validated. You receive printed documentation and digital guides for your entire system.
Step 3: Training and Handoff
We train every member of your household who will interact with the system. No technical jargon, just clear explanations of how things work and what to do when you need help.
You'll understand how to use voice control, mobile access, physical switches, and custom dashboards. We provide reference guides you can actually use, not 200-page manuals you'll never read.
What We Install and Integrate
Complete Home Automation
Our installations integrate all aspects of modern living:
- Lighting systems that adjust automatically based on time, occupancy, and natural light levels
- Climate control that learns your preferences and optimizes energy usage
- Water protection with leak sensors and automatic shutoff valves
- Security and access control including cameras, locks, and sensors
- Environmental monitoring for temperature, humidity, air quality
- Energy management to track usage and reduce waste
- Custom automations tailored to your daily routines
Vendor-Neutral Approach
We select devices based on reliability, compatibility, and your specific needs rather than brand loyalty. Your Command Center integrates:
- Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, and Thread devices
- WiFi-based systems from trusted manufacturers
- Hardwired components for maximum reliability
- Existing devices you already own, when compatible
Why This Matters: Real-Life Protection
Smart home technology should protect what matters most, not create new vulnerabilities.
Water Damage Prevention
Water damage is the number one homeowner insurance claim, averaging over $11,000 per incident. A professionally installed leak detection system with automatic shutoff protects your property whether you're home or away.
Your Command Center monitors multiple sensors throughout your home, triggers immediate alerts when moisture is detected, and can automatically shut off your water supply to prevent catastrophic damage. One prevented leak pays for the entire system.
Security Without Surveillance
You shouldn't have to choose between protecting your property and protecting your privacy. Our security integrations keep footage stored locally on your Command Center, not uploaded to corporate cloud servers.
Motion sensors, door contacts, and cameras work together to alert you of unusual activity while respecting your right to privacy in your own home. No algorithm analyzing your behavior. No data monetization. Just reliable security.
Who We Serve
Our installation services are designed for people who understand the difference between convenience and control.
Time-Poor Professionals
You value your time too highly to become an amateur system integrator. You want sophisticated automation that works reliably without requiring constant attention or troubleshooting.
Real Estate Investors
You need scalable solutions that protect your portfolio without multiplying monthly subscription costs. Professional-grade systems add value to your properties while reducing maintenance burden.
Privacy-Conscious Homeowners
You're uncomfortable with Big Tech companies collecting data about your daily life. You want modern smart home convenience without surrendering your privacy.
Tech-Savvy Builders and Renovators
You appreciate good technology but recognize that professional installation saves time and eliminates risk. You want systems designed by experts who understand both the technology and your specific needs.
Investment That Protects Itself
Our installations represent true ownership, not ongoing expense.
When you invest in a Serenity Command Center installation, you're eliminating future costs rather than creating them. No monthly subscriptions. No per-device fees. No ransom for features you've already purchased.
The typical smart home user pays $240 to $600 annually in various subscriptions for video storage, advanced features, and premium controls. Over five years, that's $1,200 to $3,000 in recurring costs for capabilities your Command Center includes from day one.
Add potential insurance savings from water damage prevention, reduced energy costs from intelligent climate control, and the value of prevented disasters, and professional installation pays for itself through avoided expenses and protected property value.
Professional installation isn't an expense. It's infrastructure investment that protects your property, eliminates recurring costs, and delivers reliable automation for years to come.
See It in Action
🌡️ One-Touch Environment Control
Use a mounted or handheld tablet to control fans, heaters, or humidifiers with just a tap—no rewiring or complicated setup. It's a renter-friendly way to save energy, manage sensory comfort, and protect your space from dryness, overheating, or poor air quality.
💡 One-Tap Lighting Control
Set the tone for your space with a single tap—no app juggling, no extra steps. Whether you're easing into bedtime, welcoming a client, or transitioning between work and family time, lighting scenes help your home adapt to you, not the other way around.
💧 Smart Water Leak Detection
One small sensor can stop a big disaster. If a leak starts under the sink or behind the washer, this smart setup triggers a voice alert, flashes a light, and shuts off the water automatically—before it turns into a flooded mess. Perfect for busy households or shared spaces where you're already carrying enough on your plate.
