"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."

"The work was done well and in a little over an hour. However, the price was $750, and I paid it only because I was short on time and didn't have an advance estimate. The material cost of the service could not have been more than a $100--I checked--so I paid $650 for labor and overhead. That's far too much, but I had my back to a wall. The reason it was so expensive is because they charge based on a flat fee, e.g., $150 a GFCI breaker, which is already high, but most mundane tasks don't take very much time and such a breaker shouldn't cost more than $30 retail. There is absolutely no excuse for those prices; it's price-gouging."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

There are two budget-friendly options: You can go the piecemeal route or install a self-monitored system. The piece-by-piece option involves purchasing and installing one item at a time, such as a video doorbell, and waiting before integrating additional components. Self-monitoring systems are often wireless with minimal monthly subscription fees, and cost less than extensive, multi-camera systems.

Yes, these services often increase home value by preventing moisture-related issues and enhancing the usable space in basements or crawlspaces.

If you don’t want the hassle of installing smart light switches, you might consider replacing all your bulbs with smart ones. Simply screw in the smart bulb and download the app to allow you to switch the lights on and off remotely. You can even change the bulb color to create a certain ambience in a room. However, these LED bulbs are pretty pricey, especially if you already have specialty light fixtures, and you won’t have to just replace them once like you will with the switches. 

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. 

Yes, most services include signal testing and adjustments for optimal performance.
