What if managing your home didn't require juggling five different apps?

Serenity Smart Homes integrated access and environment control system

It doesn't have to. Everything can work together, simply.

If you're here, you've probably been down the smart home rabbit hole. You bought a smart lock from one company, a thermostat from another, door sensors from a third. Each one has its own app. None of them talk to each other. And you're still not sure if you actually locked the front door when you left this morning.

Picture this: You're heading out for vacation. Did you lock both doors? Is the thermostat set properly so your pipes don't freeze? Are the windows all closed? You're already at the airport trying to remember which app controls what.

Or maybe you're a landlord managing rental properties. You need to let contractors in, monitor for smoke detector chirps tenants ignore, adjust the heat when units are vacant, and keep track of who's accessing which property. Right now, that means physical keys, emergency calls, and constant worry.

What if everything worked together, in one place, under your complete control?

The Serenity Smart Homes Access & Environment Package does exactly that. Smart locks, climate control, door and window monitoring, and smoke/CO detection—all integrated into one system that you control from a single interface. No app juggling. No cloud dependencies. Just intelligent, coordinated protection for your home.

Why Integration Matters

Your devices should work together, not against you

The magic of this system isn't just that each device is "smart"—it's that they all work together intelligently:

Leaving Home Scenario:

  • Lock both doors with a single button press
  • Automatically adjust thermostat to away mode
  • Get alert if any window is still open
  • Receive notification when all doors are secured
  • See exactly when you left in your activity log

Vacation Mode Scenario:

  • Set energy-saving temperature with one tap
  • Monitor all entry points remotely
  • Get instant alerts if any door or window opens
  • Generate temporary lock codes for pet sitters
  • Know immediately if smoke/CO alarm triggers

Property Manager Scenario:

  • Grant contractors temporary access codes remotely
  • Get notified when doors lock/unlock (and by whom)
  • Adjust heat when units are between tenants
  • Monitor for ignored smoke detector low battery chirps
  • See complete access history for all properties

Aging Parent Monitoring:

  • Receive alerts when doors open at unusual times
  • Monitor climate comfort remotely
  • Immediate smoke/CO alarm notifications
  • Know if doors are left unsecured overnight
  • Non-intrusive awareness of daily routines

These aren't just individual smart devices - they're an integrated system that understands your home as a complete environment.

Smart Home Automation Brands and Tech We Work With

We work with a wide range of trusted brands, and we'll work with what you already have. Whether you're starting fresh or blending old and new devices, our goal is to create a smooth, privacy-focused system that works locally, not in the cloud.

The Real Cost of Disconnected Smart Devices

App chaos and subscription fatigue are expensive—in time, money, and peace of mind.

When you buy smart devices piecemeal from different manufacturers, you pay hidden costs beyond the purchase price:

Typical Disconnected Setup:

  • 3-5 different apps to manage everything
  • Monthly subscriptions for "premium features"
  • Devices that don't talk to each other
  • Can't create coordinated automations
  • Multiple accounts and passwords to remember
  • Dependent on each company's cloud servers
  • Stops working when companies shut down services
  • Your routines and patterns uploaded to corporate servers

Serenity Integrated System:

  • One unified interface for everything
  • No monthly subscriptions or cloud fees
  • All devices work together intelligently
  • Create complex automations easily
  • Single system to learn and manage
  • Everything runs locally on your hub
  • Future-proof—you own the hardware
  • Your data stays private in your home

5-Year Cost Comparison:

  • Popular cloud-based smart lock: $250 + $3/month = $430
  • Cloud thermostat with features: $200 + $5/month = $500
  • Door/window sensor systems: $300 + $10/month = $900
  • Smart smoke detector cloud plan: $120 + $5/month = $420
  • Total over 5 years: $2,250+ in subscriptions alone

Our $1,399 integrated system costs less than five years of subscriptions—and you'll never pay monthly fees.

Why This System is Different

Not all smart home systems are created equal

DIY Smart Home (different brands):

  • Multiple apps for different devices
  • Devices don't communicate with each other
  • Monthly subscription fees for basic features

  • Complete integration—everything works together
  • No monthly fees (you own everything)

Why Trust Serenity Smart Homes?

Ashley Williams, Founder of Serenity Smart Homes specializing in integrated home automation

Hi, I'm Ashley. Before founding Serenity Smart Homes, I spent over 20 years building and securing internet infrastructure for enterprise clients—the kind of systems that can't afford to fail.

I've seen what happens when convenience becomes complexity. When you need a computer science degree just to lock your front door. When every "solution" creates three new problems.

That's why I created this integrated system—professional-grade reliability with consumer-friendly simplicity. Your home deserves enterprise-level integration without enterprise-level headaches.

What Sets Us Apart:

  • Over 20 years infrastructure and cybersecurity experience
  • Privacy-first, local control architecture
  • Professional installation guidance and 45 days of support
  • No subscriptions, no cloud dependencies, no data collection
  • Bonded, insured, and background-checked

Still Have Questions About Integrated Smart Home Access & Climate Control?

You're not alone in wondering how to simplify smart home management. Here are the questions we hear most from homeowners exploring integrated access and environment control systems.

Our integrated package includes everything needed for comprehensive home management: one Home Assistant Green local control hub, two Kwikset Z-Wave smart door locks with keyless entry, one Honeywell T6 Pro programmable smart thermostat, six Zooz ultra-compact door/window contact sensors, one Z-Wave smart smoke and carbon monoxide detector with 10-year battery, one Zooz Z-Wave 800 Series Long Range controller for extended coverage, and 45 days of professional setup assistance. All devices communicate seamlessly through a single system with zero monthly fees. You control access points, climate, safety monitoring, and create intelligent automations—all from one unified interface instead of juggling multiple apps.

Integration means your devices actually communicate and coordinate with each other, not just exist on the same phone screen. For example: when you tap 'leaving home,' your smart locks automatically secure all doors, the thermostat adjusts to energy-saving mode, you get alerts if any windows are open, and the system logs exactly when you left. With separate devices using different apps and cloud services, you'd manually control each function and couldn't create these coordinated automations. Our system uses Z-Wave 800 Long Range technology on a dedicated frequency (920 MHz) so devices form a reliable mesh network with 10x the range of standard protocols. Everything runs locally on your Home Assistant hub with no cloud dependencies or subscription fees.

Yes! We set up secure remote access during your professional setup session so you can control everything from anywhere using the Home Assistant mobile app. Lock or unlock doors, adjust temperature, check door and window status, view access history, and receive instant alerts—all through an encrypted connection that goes directly to your home hub, not through corporate cloud servers. This means you maintain privacy while having complete control. If you're traveling and want to let a contractor in, you can create a temporary door code remotely. If the weather changes unexpectedly, you can adjust your thermostat from your phone. Remote access is built-in with no monthly subscription fees.

Your system continues working normally because everything runs locally on your Home Assistant hub—internet is only needed for remote access. Smart locks still lock and unlock (via keypads or app), the thermostat still regulates temperature according to your schedule, door/window sensors still detect activity, smoke detectors still sound alarms, and all automations continue running. You won't be able to control things remotely until internet is restored, but nothing stops functioning. This is a critical advantage over cloud-dependent systems from companies like Ring or Nest, which often become completely non-functional during internet outages. Local control means reliability when you need it most.

Most homeowners can install Kwikset smart door locks themselves—they're designed to replace existing deadbolts using just a screwdriver and typically take 15-30 minutes per lock. The locks fit standard door preparations (2-1/8" bore holes) and include detailed instructions. During your professional setup assistance, we provide step-by-step guidance for installation, help you pair the locks with your hub, configure user codes, set up automations, and test functionality. If you prefer hands-off installation, professional locksmith services can be quoted separately. The locks use Z-Wave 920 MHz Long Range technology with SmartStart, making the pairing process simple—just scan a QR code.

The included Honeywell T6 Pro Z-Wave thermostat works with most standard residential HVAC systems including forced air furnaces, heat pumps, central air conditioning, and multi-stage heating/cooling systems (up to 2 heat/2 cool). It's compatible with both conventional 24V systems and heat pump systems. During your free smart home consultation before purchase, we'll verify compatibility with your specific HVAC setup based on your current thermostat wiring. If the T6 Pro isn't compatible (rare cases include some proprietary systems or millivolt fireplaces), we can recommend alternative Z-Wave thermostats before you purchase. The thermostat features SmartStart for easy enrollment and 7-day programmable scheduling.

Traditional cloud-based smart home systems charge monthly fees that add up dramatically over time: popular smart locks charge $3-5/month for access history and temporary codes, smart thermostats charge $5-10/month for remote access and energy reports, door/window sensor systems charge $10-15/month for monitoring features, and smart smoke detectors charge $3-5/month for mobile alerts. Over five years, these subscriptions total $1,260-$2,100 in fees alone—and they continue forever. Our complete integrated system costs a one-time investment with zero monthly fees, paying for itself within 2-3 years while providing superior integration and privacy. You own all hardware outright and control everything locally—no rental agreements, no feature paywalls, no subscription dependencies.

Integration unlocks powerful coordinated automations impossible with disconnected devices: 'Goodnight' routine locks all doors, verifies windows are closed, and sets thermostat to sleep temperature. 'Vacation mode' adjusts climate to energy-saving settings, monitors all entry points, and sends alerts for any door/window activity. 'Arriving home' unlocks front door when you enter your access code and adjusts temperature to comfort settings. Property managers can create temporary access codes that automatically expire, receive notifications when contractors lock/unlock doors, and adjust heat when units are vacant. You can also set alerts like 'notify me if front door opens after 10pm' or 'send alert if smoke detector triggers.' We help you configure the automations that matter most during setup.

Absolutely! The Z-Wave 800 Long Range mesh network supports hundreds of devices, and Home Assistant integrates with thousands of different products. You can easily add more door/window sensors (expand coverage to garage doors, basement windows, medicine cabinets), additional smart locks for side doors or gates, motion sensors, smart plugs for appliance control, Z-Wave light switches and dimmers, motorized shades, irrigation controllers, additional thermostats for multi-zone systems, or virtually any Z-Wave device from any manufacturer. The system is designed to grow with your needs. We're here to help with expansion planning, device recommendations, and configuration assistance as you add capabilities over time.

Z-Wave 800 Series Long Range provides 10x the range of standard Z-Wave (up to 1 mile line-of-sight, 250+ feet in typical homes with walls), ensuring reliable connectivity throughout your entire property including detached garages, basements, and outdoor structures. It operates on a dedicated 920 MHz frequency separate from crowded Wi-Fi bands (2.4 GHz/5 GHz), eliminating interference from routers, phones, and other wireless devices. The mesh network architecture means devices relay signals to extend coverage automatically—every powered device (locks, thermostats, smart plugs) strengthens the network. Z-Wave uses military-grade AES-128 encryption for security and offers true interoperability between manufacturers, so you're never locked into proprietary ecosystems.

Your purchase includes 45 days of comprehensive expert support covering device installation guidance (step-by-step help installing locks, thermostat, and sensors), system configuration (pairing all devices with your hub, creating user codes, setting up Z-Wave mesh network), automation creation (building routines like leaving home, vacation mode, security alerts), remote access setup (secure mobile control from anywhere), training on all features (how to use each device, create temporary codes, adjust settings), and ongoing troubleshooting (resolving connectivity issues, optimizing automation logic, expanding the system). We provide remote assistance via video call or screenshare, and on-site installation can be quoted separately for customers preferring professional hands-on service.

Absolutely—this system is ideal for property managers and landlords. Generate temporary access codes remotely for contractors, cleaners, or inspections without physical key exchanges or lockbox dependencies. Receive instant notifications when doors lock or unlock with timestamps and user identification. Monitor climate systems remotely to ensure heat is maintained during winter (preventing frozen pipes) or adjusted to energy-saving temperatures when units are vacant. Track access history to know exactly when maintenance entered properties. The smart smoke/CO detector alerts you immediately to safety issues tenants might ignore. Best of all, there are no monthly monitoring fees that eat into rental income—just a one-time investment per property that pays for itself through reduced key management headaches and prevented emergency repairs.

Local control means all your data—access patterns, climate preferences, who enters when, daily routines—stays on your Home Assistant hub inside your home, not uploaded to corporate cloud servers. Traditional cloud systems like Ring, Nest, and August send all activity data to Amazon, Google, or other companies where it can be accessed by employees, shared with law enforcement, sold to third parties, or used to train AI algorithms. Our system processes everything locally using Z-Wave mesh networking (920 MHz dedicated frequency) and Home Assistant open-source software. We cannot access your data—you have exclusive control. Your routines and security patterns remain private. The system works reliably even during internet outages because it doesn't depend on external servers.
