Smart Automation That Actually Gets Set Up

Most smart home devices get installed but never properly configured. The app doesn't work quite right, the scenes don't fire on time, and the automation that was supposed to make life easier just gets switched off. DSS technicians configure everything: scenes, schedules, integrations, and app access: before we leave.

We also connect your automation to your security system: so your alarm, locks, cameras, and smart devices all work together, not as separate apps and separate headaches.

Common Questions

Do I need to replace all my devices to get automation?

Not always. We assess what you already have and identify what can be integrated. In many cases, existing devices can be connected without replacement.

Do I need technical knowledge to use it day-to-day?

No. We configure everything and set up a simple app interface. Once it's done, using your automation is just tapping a button or saying a phrase.

Can I add more automations later?

Yes. Smart systems are inherently expandable. You can add devices, create new scenes, and adjust schedules at any time, with or without our help.

Will automation work if my internet is down?

Most local devices continue to work on your home network even without internet. Remote access (control from outside your property) requires an internet connection.

Get your smart system actually set up properly

We configure everything from scratch, including scenes, schedules, integrations and app access, then hand over a system that works.
