A person you can talk to

Hi, I’m Adrian.

I’ve been running Home Assistant for years, helping friends and family get their devices working together. The goal is simple: make everyday life at home a little easier.

Tell me what’s frustrating you, what you already have, and what you’d like to spend. We’ll work out what’s practical and where to start.

You can get help planning a DIY setup or have me configure your automations. If the work needs an electrician, we’ll make that part of the plan.

Let’s start with your home.

From a homeowner

Help that carries
through to home.

“Adrian walked through every room, mapped out what I actually wanted, and installed it end-to-end. My house runs itself now — and when something breaks, he fixes it remotely. No subscriptions, no app roulette.”John · Homeowner · Whole-home Home Assistant install

A few things you might be wondering

Let’s make
this simple.

Can I do this in a rental?

Some changes, such as plug-in lighting and removable sensors, can move with you. We’ll check your equipment, lease, and any permissions needed before recommending changes.

Do I need to replace everything?

We start by checking what you own. Compatibility varies, so we’ll work out what can stay before suggesting new equipment. Any wiring changes are assessed separately and handled by an appropriate electrician.

What do I get from the free visit?

A free 30-minute in-home visit, practical recommendations, and a clear next step. A detailed floor plan, device list, and step-by-step DIY build guide are part of the separate $349 Assessment & Custom Plan.

Can you help with setup and installation?

Yes. Automation Setup is $500/room for configuration; you arrange your electrician for hardware installation. Full Service is $600/room plus separately billed electrician labor, and includes help finding an electrician. Equipment costs are confirmed in the quote. All prices are estimates, confirmed before work begins.

Is there a monthly subscription?

Home Assistant has no required platform subscription. Optional support is $29/mo or $299/yr; one-off help is $95/hr with a 2-hour minimum. Some integrations and remote-access services may have their own costs.

What happens if the internet goes down?

Compatible local devices and automations can continue working on your home network. Cloud-dependent features may be unavailable. We’ll explain which parts of your proposed setup need an internet connection, and how you can control them manually where supported.
