About Smart Home Services
We're passionate about making smart home technology accessible, reliable, and actually useful for everyday life.
Our Story
Smart Home Services was born from a simple frustration: why is smart home technology so complicated? We started as tech enthusiasts helping friends and family set up their devices, and quickly realized that most people don't want to become home automation experts—they just want things to work.
Today, we help homeowners throughout the Portland area transform their houses into intelligent, responsive homes. We handle the complexity so you can enjoy the benefits: lights that adjust to your schedule, security that keeps you informed, and systems that just work.
We're not salespeople pushing expensive equipment. We're consultants who listen to your needs and design solutions that fit your lifestyle and budget. Every project is different, and we love the challenge of finding the perfect balance of features, usability, and value.
Our Design Philosophy
Every smart home we design follows three core principles.
Simple
Smart home technology should make life easier, not more complicated. We design systems that everyone in your household can use intuitively.
Secure
Your home network is sacred. We implement security best practices, proper network segmentation, and privacy-focused device selection.
Future-Proof
Technology evolves quickly. We choose platforms and products that are well-supported and design systems that can grow with your needs.
Privacy & Security First
We take your privacy seriously. When designing your smart home, we prioritize:
- Local processing whenever possible—your data stays in your home
- Network segmentation to isolate smart devices from your computers and phones
- Privacy-respecting devices that don't require cloud accounts or data sharing
- Secure access with proper authentication and encryption
We'll never recommend a product just because it's popular—we evaluate security, privacy practices, and long-term support before including anything in our recommendations.
What Our Clients Say
Real stories from homeowners who transformed their living spaces.
“They transformed our 1990s home into a modern smart home. The kids love the voice control, and we love that we can check on things when we're away. The whole process was smooth and professional.”
Sarah & Mike Johnson
“As someone who works from home, having a reliable network was crucial. They not only set up great Wi-Fi but integrated my home office lighting and climate perfectly. Highly recommend!”
David Chen
“After my husband passed, I was nervous about living alone. The security system they installed gives me peace of mind, and voice control means I don't have to struggle with switches anymore.”
