## Smart Home Wiring in Seaside, CA

Half the smart switch installs we are called to fix in Seaside were doomed at purchase, because the box had two conductors and no neutral. We check what is in your walls before you spend money on devices.

## Situations we see in Seaside

### Doorbell chimes weakly or not at all

Video doorbells need more power than a 1960s transformer delivers. Replacing it is a small job with an immediate result.

### Thermostat needs a C-wire

Common in older homes. We pull a new thermostat cable rather than relying on power-stealing adapters that cause intermittent faults.

### Smart switch has no neutral

Older Seaside switch loops carry no neutral. We either pull one, relocate the switch leg, or specify a no-neutral device that works with your fixture.

### Wi-Fi dead spots

More mesh nodes on bad backhaul won't fix it. A CAT6 run to a ceiling access point will, permanently.

## Reviews from Monterey County

★★★★★

Flickering through the whole house turned out to be a loose neutral at the service. They found it in under an hour when two other companies had shrugged.

Breaker tripped Sunday night and I got a call back in about ten minutes. Tech found a bad connection in a junction box behind the closet, fixed it that night, and the price was what he said on the phone.

Hot tub circuit and disconnect. Permit, inspection, everything. Showed up when they said and cleaned up after.

## Smart Home Wiring in Seaside — questions

Is hardwired better than wireless for cameras?

For reliability, yes. A PoE camera has power and data on one cable and does not drop off your network. Wireless is fine for renters and quick coverage.

Can you install smart switches in an older Seaside home?

Usually yes, but it depends on whether the switch box has a neutral. We check first and tell you which devices will work in your specific boxes before you buy anything.

Do you do smart home wiring for Seaside remodels?

Yes, and that is the ideal time. Open walls make structured cabling cheap, and pre-wiring for future devices costs a fraction of retrofitting later.

Can you run ethernet in a house with no attic access?

Often, using closets, chases and stacked walls. We survey the route and tell you honestly what is reachable and what would mean drywall repair.

Will my smart lighting still work if the internet goes down?

Local-control systems keep working on the wall switch and keypads. Cloud-only devices may lose scenes and schedules, which is why we prefer local control for lighting.
