Half the smart switch installs we are called to fix in Nevada City 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 Nevada City
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 Nevada City 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.
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.

Reviews from Nevada County
Standby generator install. They sized it to what we actually use rather than the biggest unit, then walked me through the transfer switch and the exercise cycle.
Renee B.Generator · Nevada CityFlickering 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.
Bill T.Troubleshooting · Nevada CityBought a 1948 house with cloth wiring. They phased the rewire so we always had power in half the house, and gave us paperwork our insurer accepted.
Sofia M.Rewiring · Nevada CitySmart Home Wiring in Nevada City — questions
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.
Can you install smart switches in an older Nevada City 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.
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.
Do you do smart home wiring for Nevada City 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.
