What we install

Smart home that actually
makes life easier.

💡
Smart Lighting
Smart switches, dimmers, and bulbs that you control from your phone, on a schedule, or by voice. Whole-home or room-by-room.
🔐
Smart Locks & Doorbells
Keyless entry, guest codes that expire, video doorbells, and remote unlock. Great for cabins, short-term rentals, and busy households.
🌡️
Smart Thermostats
Warm the cabin before you arrive. Get alerts if the heat fails. Cut your hydro bill. Ecobee, Nest, and Honeywell installed properly.
💧
Leak & Freeze Sensors
The single most valuable smart-home addition for a Northwestern Ontario cabin — get alerted (or automatically shut off the water) before disaster happens.
📷
Cameras & Monitoring
Indoor and outdoor cameras you can check from anywhere. See our cameras page for full business and home security camera systems.
🎵
Whole-Home Audio
Sonos and similar multi-room audio systems installed and configured — kitchen, living room, deck, all controllable from one app.

Smart cabin technology

Smart home is even more useful
at the cabin than at home.

In the city, smart home is convenience. At a remote cabin or seasonal lodge on Rainy Lake, it can save you from disaster. A frozen pipe that bursts when nobody's around to notice can do tens of thousands of dollars in damage. A furnace that quits in January means coming back to a destroyed cabin in March. A propane leak nobody knew about is worse.

Smart sensors and thermostats catch all of this. You get a notification on your phone the moment something goes wrong, and many systems can take action automatically — shut off the water main when a leak is detected, turn the furnace back on when the temperature drops too low. It's the kind of thing that pays for itself the first time it prevents one incident.

Plus the convenience side: arriving at a warm cabin, unlocking the door from your phone when guests arrive, checking that you remembered to lock up after you left, and seeing your fishing camp on a camera anytime you want.

Common questions

Smart Home FAQ

What does a smart home installer actually set up?
Smart lighting, smart locks, smart thermostats, smart blinds, cameras, doorbells, leak and freeze sensors, and the hub that ties them together. Plus the WiFi or wired network they all need, and the app on your phone that controls everything.
How much does smart home setup cost?
A small setup — smart lock, smart thermostat, and a few smart bulbs — runs $500–$1,500 installed. A full home with smart lighting throughout, locks, thermostats, blinds, and cameras typically runs $3,000–$10,000+. Custom whole-home automation is quoted on scope.
Can you set up smart features at our cabin or lodge?
Yes — and this is one of the most useful applications in the Rainy Lake region. Smart thermostats so you can warm the cabin before you arrive, freeze sensors so you know if the heat fails, smart locks for guests, cameras for security when you're not there, and water-leak detection that can save you from catastrophic damage.
Will my smart home work if the internet goes down?
It depends on the setup. We design smart home systems with local control wherever possible — meaning lights, locks, and thermostats keep working when the internet is out. Remote access goes down, but the home itself still operates. This matters more in our area than it does in cities.
Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or something else?
All work, and the right one depends on what phones and devices your household already uses. The new Matter standard means most modern smart home devices work with all three. We pick the right platform based on what you already have and what you actually want to control.
Do you install smart home for new construction?
Yes. New construction is the easiest and cheapest time to install smart home properly — we can run the right cabling, wire smart switches in the wall, and design the network around the smart-home load. We work with builders and renovation projects across the region.
