I am a specialist in all things home theater related, including wall mounting of TVs. I also am skilled in anything technology related such as smart homes and devices making your home smart. I have been doing this for more than fifteen years. What makes me stand out in front of others is that I do not do this full time so when I accept a job, I make sure it is done as if it was my very own project. I am always available for questions before and after the job. Lastly, I make sure the customer is satisfied and assured that everything will remain as I left it.

The difference between smart home and home automation technology is that home automation is a more comprehensive home control system. It requires more expertise and work to install and set up, but homeowners have greater control over the various areas and functions in the home via their smartphone. Smart home technology is generally easier to install and set up. But it typically needs an internet connection to work as intended, which can limit functionality if there’s a disruption in internet service.
Home automation systems offer a wide range of automation products and services. Some of the most popular options include:
Cameras: $35–$350
Door and window sensors: $20–$100
Doorbells: $100–$350
Locks: $150–$400
Garage door openers: $150–$500
Lighting: $20–$100
Speakers: $30–$300
Outlets and plugs: $20–$100
Thermostats: $150–$300
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: $50–$150
Smart home hubs: $200–$900
Blinds: $50–$75
Appliances: $50–$3,000
Vacuums: $200–$1,200
Lawn systems: $80–$300
Wi-Fi and Mesh systems: $200–$500
Water monitoring: $100–$1,000
Home automation can be worth it if you’re looking for ways to make everyday home operations more convenient and controllable from a single hub integrated with your smartphone. You can select the different features and services you want to automate, ranging from exterior cameras to thermostats, to make this investment worthwhile by only installing services that are relevant to your household’s lifestyle. Plus, home automation can improve home security and eliminate daily inconveniences.
An accredited, licensed smart home specialist should install your home automation system. For example, a qualified smart home specialist will belong to an organization like the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association. Licenses for qualified technicians require the technician to demonstrate experience and pass state testing. If you’re ready to install a home automation system, consult multiple technicians in your area to compare services and prices and find the best fit for your job.
The average cost of a home automation system is around $950, but typically ranges from $200 to $1,700, depending on the brand, system features, system size, home size, and location. The highest-end home automation systems can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, including smart appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens that require installing extensive wiring. Any subscriptions for maintenance services will also impact the cost of a home automation system.
