Half the smart switch installs we are called to fix in San Marcos 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 Marcos
Smart switch has no neutral
Older San Marcos 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 Diego County
Bought 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 · San MarcosOur restaurant lost the walk-in circuit on a Friday. They came out after close, traced it to a failed feeder lug, and we opened Saturday on time.
Ken A.Commercial repair · San MarcosFlickering 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 MarcosSmart Home Wiring in San Marcos — 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 Marcos 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 San Marcos 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.
