Your smart speaker talks to your lights but not your locks. Your thermostat has its own app. Nobody in the house remembers which button does what anymore.
Home Automation Setup from Chandler Smart Home Automation brings those pieces into one hub, one app, and a set of scenes that actually fire when you want them to. It's the right starting point for homes with a handful of devices already in place, or a first round of smart gear going in.

FAQs
Home Automation Setup FAQs
Do smart home installers charge by device or by project?
Most jobs are priced by project scope, not a per-device line item. We factor in hub complexity, device count, and whether your home needs new wiring, then give you one number.
Can I add smart home automation to an older house, or does it need new wiring?
Most home automation setups run on existing Wi-Fi and low-voltage devices, no new wiring required. If you want hardwired switches or in-wall sensors, that's a separate conversation during the walkthrough.
Will my smart home system still work if the internet goes down?
Local functions like switches and some locks usually keep working. Cloud-dependent features, like voice control or remote app access, go offline until your connection returns. We can talk through which devices rely on local versus cloud control during setup.
How long does a basic setup take?
A single-day visit covers most homes. Larger device counts or multi-brand hubs can run into a second day.
Is DIY home automation setup a good idea?
A single hub with a few devices is fine to set up yourself. Once you're mixing brands or want scenes that span the whole house, a pro setup avoids the trial-and-error of devices that won't talk to each other.
Cost
