## Smart Home Wiring in San Luis Obispo, CA

Half the smart switch installs we are called to fix in San Luis Obispo 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.

Call (833) 652-8933 and describe what is happening. If it is a same-day job we will book it today, and if it needs a site visit to quote properly we will tell you that too.

## Situations we see in San Luis Obispo

### 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.

### Wi-Fi dead spots

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

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

## Reviews from San Luis Obispo County

★★★★★

Tesla Wall Connector in the garage, clean conduit run, done in an afternoon. They talked me out of a panel upgrade I didn't actually need.

Devon W.EV charger · San Luis Obispo
★★★★★

Kitchen breaker kept popping whenever we ran the microwave and kettle. They put in a dedicated circuit instead of just telling us to use one appliance at a time.

Alicia G.Dedicated circuit · San Luis Obispo
★★★★★

GFCI in the bathroom kept tripping. They found real leakage in an old fixture rather than just replacing the GFCI and calling it done.

## Smart Home Wiring in San Luis Obispo — questions

Do you do smart home wiring for San Luis Obispo 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.

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.

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.

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 San Luis Obispo 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.
