Smart Home, a house that does the boring parts

It usually starts with a drawer of devices that never talked to each other. The hard part is not the work — it is that every smart home company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

Smart Home in short

Smart home services range from a single device installation to whole-home design, structured wiring, in-wall device installation, network setup, programming and ongoing support. Electrical work needs a licensed electrician; network and integration work is a separate skill set, and one company does not always do both well.

Angi's 2026 data puts smart home systems at roughly $200 to $1,525 for typical installations, with the total depending heavily on how many devices you buy and whether an electrician is involved. The costs people miss are labor for line-voltage work, network upgrades, and recurring subscriptions for camera storage and monitoring.

Why a pro gets to be on this list

Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the smart home companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.

Licence checked

We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.

Insurance confirmed

General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.

Reviews read, not counted

We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.

Re-checked, not set and forgotten

A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.

What people say after they’ve hired

Zero reviews. On purpose.

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.

Plenty of sites fill this space with reviews scraped from elsewhere, or written for them. We don’t. The first smart home review on this page will come from a homeowner we matched, after their work was finished and paid for.

FAQ

Smart Home questions, answered

The questions homeowners ask us most about smart home.

Angi's 2026 data puts typical smart home systems at roughly $200 to $1,525, driven by device count and whether professional installation is involved. Whole-home automation with in-wall devices and wired cameras costs substantially more.
Some parts do. ENERGY STAR states certified smart thermostats save on average about 8% of heating and cooling costs, roughly $50 a year, and notes heating and cooling is nearly half of a typical household energy bill at over $900 annually. Most other devices are convenience, not savings.
It depends entirely on the devices. Cloud-dependent products stop responding; devices with local control on a hub keep running their automations. Ask this before buying anything you would rely on.
Plug-in devices, smart bulbs, battery sensors and hubs, yes. Anything replacing a switch or outlet is line-voltage electrical work, may require a permit, and often needs a neutral wire that older homes lack — get an electrician.
No connected device is risk-free. Use unique passwords and two-factor authentication on every account, keep firmware current, prefer local control, and be deliberate about where cameras and microphones go.

The wrong smart home hire costs more than the right one.

Smart home is where good products become an unmaintainable system. Integration, not hardware, is what you are actually buying. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
