Half the smart switch installs we are called to fix in San Francisco 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 San Francisco
Smart switch has no neutral
Older San Francisco switch loops carry no neutral. We either pull one, relocate the switch leg, or specify a no-neutral device that works with your fixture.
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.
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 San Mateo County
Smart switches wouldn't work because there was no neutral. They pulled one, got everything on Lutron, and set up the scenes before leaving.
Chantal P.Smart home wiring · San FranciscoFlickering 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 · San FranciscoSix recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that finally doesn't buzz. They laid the whole layout out on the ceiling with tape first, which I appreciated.
Tom R.Lighting installation · San FranciscoSmart Home Wiring in San Francisco — 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 San Francisco 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.
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.
Do you do smart home wiring for San Francisco 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.
