What We Do

Make Your Tucson Home Smarter

Smart home automation isn't about having gadgets — it's about your home working for you. Lights that adjust when you walk in. A thermostat that knows when you're away and saves energy during Tucson's brutal summers. Doors that lock themselves at night. Cameras you can check from your phone while you're at work. All controlled from one app, working together automatically.

We build smart homes on the Alarm.com platform because it's designed to integrate security and automation into one reliable system. Unlike consumer platforms that rely on Wi-Fi and cloud connections that break, Alarm.com uses professional-grade hardware with cellular backup. Your automation rules keep running even if your internet goes down.

Best of all, smart home features can be added to any existing Tucson home without rewiring. Smart switches replace your current switches. Smart locks replace your existing deadbolts. Smart thermostats swap in where your old thermostat sits. We handle the installation and make sure everything works together before we leave.

Smart Devices

What We Automate

Smart Lighting

Automated light switches and dimmers that respond to schedules, motion, sunset/sunrise, and scenes. Set the mood or save energy without touching a switch.

Smart Locks

Keyless entry with PIN codes, smartphone control, and auto-lock. Grant temporary access to guests, see who comes and goes, and never wonder if you locked the door.

Smart Thermostats

Intelligent climate control that learns your schedule and adjusts automatically. In Arizona, smart thermostat savings are significant — your AC is your biggest energy cost.

Garage Door Control

Open and close your garage from anywhere. Get alerts if it's left open. Set it to close automatically at a specific time every night.

Scenes & Schedules

Create custom scenes like "Goodnight" (lock doors, arm alarm, turn off lights, set thermostat) or "I'm Home" (disarm, unlock, lights on). Trigger by tap, voice, or schedule.

Voice Control

Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Control lights, locks, thermostats, and scenes with your voice. "Alexa, set the house to goodnight."

Why It Matters

Why Tucson Homeowners Love Smart Automation

Real Energy Savings in Arizona Heat

With AC running 6+ months a year in Tucson, a smart thermostat that adjusts when you're away can save hundreds on your energy bills annually. Automated blinds and lighting schedules compound those savings further.

Convenience That Adds Up

Small automations make a big difference over time. Lights that turn on when you arrive home after dark. Doors that lock at bedtime. A garage that closes itself if you forget. You stop thinking about these things because your home handles them.

Security and Automation in One Platform

Because Alarm.com handles both security and automation, everything works together. Your smart lock talks to your alarm. Your cameras trigger when motion is detected. It's one app, one login, one system — not a patchwork of disconnected devices.

Control From Anywhere

Forgot to lock the door? Lock it from your phone. Want to let in a delivery? Unlock remotely and watch on camera. Heading home early? Pre-cool the house before you arrive. Full control from anywhere in the world.

Reliable Professional-Grade Hardware

Consumer smart home devices often rely on cloud servers that go offline. Alarm.com's professional platform uses local processing and cellular backup, so your automations keep running even when the internet doesn't.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What can a smart home system do?
A smart home system lets you control lights, locks, thermostats, cameras, garage doors, and more from a single app on your phone. You can create automated scenes (like "Goodnight" to lock all doors, arm the alarm, and turn off lights), set schedules, receive alerts, and control everything by voice through Alexa or Google Assistant. It's convenience, security, and energy savings in one platform.
Does smart home automation work with Alarm.com?
Yes — Alarm.com is our primary smart home platform. It's designed to integrate security and automation into one seamless system. Your smart locks, lights, thermostats, cameras, and alarm all live in the same app and can trigger each other automatically. For example, when you disarm your alarm in the morning, the lights turn on and the thermostat adjusts.
How much does smart home automation cost in Tucson?
Smart home costs depend on how many devices and rooms you want to automate. A starter package with a smart lock, thermostat, and a few light switches typically runs $500-$1,500 for equipment and installation. Larger whole-home systems with multiple zones, motorized shades, and distributed audio can range from $3,000-$10,000+. We provide free consultations with custom quotes based on your goals.
Can I add smart home features to my existing home?
Absolutely. Most smart home devices are retrofit-friendly and don't require rewiring your house. Smart switches replace existing switches, smart locks replace existing deadbolts, and smart thermostats replace your current thermostat. We handle the installation and make sure everything connects to the Alarm.com platform properly.
