"I was on the market for a security system and this one seemed easy enough to install.......went through the process and some of the window sensors were not working. I called Customer Support who was very friendly and we went through the entire process again...this time other window sensors did not work. This went on for a week or so...then the door senors stopped working....than the motion sensor stopped working...at no time in over a month did I have a fully operational security system. As I was about to return the system I was told they have "new" sensors and they just realized they received a bad batch and are working with another company.....Gave it a try....and same issue returned....some sensors worked....some didn't. I finally returned the system and stopped getting emails.....only to find that they were still billing my credit card even after I returned the equipment. Very nice people and very understanding.....unfortunately their product is not up to par. While we do have a large home, it's an open concept and the sensors that weren't working were no more than 15ft away from the base. The previous owners of my house had a wireless system with no issues at all.....I'm going to be using that company going forward."

"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

"I contacted Misha at Audio Video Connection to assist us with installation of a Samsung "Frame" television. We had researched and chosen this specific television for its discreet appearance (artwork on screen, no cables) when it is not on. Based on our research, we knew professional planning and installation would be needed. Initially we attempted the planning and installation with a big box electronics store. Our electrician and contractor met with a representative for wiring requirements and placement. When the installation crew from the same big box store arrived, they informed us that they could not install the television as planned. This was due to the placement of the wiring/connection and told us that we had gotten incorrect advice from their fellow employees. After several attempts to resolve this situation with the big box store, I realized it was a losing battle. I explained the situation to Misha and set up an appointment so he could assess the situation. He determined that, even though the wiring configuration was not ideal, he should be able to make the system work without re-wiring. Misha and his assistant came promptly at the time of installation appointment and did an excellent job with the installation and left the work area clean. He also showed me how to use the system and to call him if I had further questions. At one point he commented "You tried to do the right thing. You tried to use the same outfit for planning and installation." My only regret is not contacting Misha and Audio Video Connect from the beginning!"

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

While smart doorbells offer security and convenience, they come with disadvantages. Most non-wired options rely on a stable internet connection, making them vulnerable to outages. The same applies to wired devices that depend on power, but most models have a backup battery. There is also the privacy issue, as these devices constantly capture video and audio around the front door, which could be a pro or con. Considering these factors is essential before moving forward with installation.

When dealing with electrical work, getting several projects done at once can save you time and money. If an electrician is coming to replace a circuit box, have them replace outlets or light fixtures, too. Adding light switches, outlets, and fixtures to any electrical project you have going on is the most common way to get home improvement projects done quicker.

Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.

Smart switches work with pretty much any light. However, if you plan on using a dimming feature on your smart switch, any LED bulbs you use need to be the dimmable kind. It’s more the wiring of your existing lights that can be a problem. Some smart light switches need a neutral wire, and old houses (built before 1985) don’t always have these. Always check if the model you want needs neutral wiring to operate. 

Smart switches require a neutral wire for correct installation. Neutral wires aren't typically present in a single-pole switch configuration, so this project can be a tricky one for average DIYers. In most cases, you should hire an electrician to run a new circuit or adapt your existing wiring to include a neutral connection to accommodate a smart switch.
