What smart-home work covers
Smart-home projects in the Denver metro typically include lighting control (line-voltage dimmers, 0-10 V, occupancy or vacancy sensors, scene keypads), thermostats, motorized shades, contact sensors, and a local hub or controller using protocols such as Matter or Thread. Low-voltage sensors are different from line-voltage lighting circuits. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and licensed specialty trades. Cost is project-specific and depends on room count, existing wiring, and whether new circuits are needed.

What buyers should prepare
Rooms in scope, photos of existing switches, whether a dedicated controller is desired, and any shade or thermostat goals.
FAQ
Common questions
How much does Virtual Smart-Home Planning Consult (Video) cost in Centennial?
$125.
How do I book?
Press Book next to the job, pick a date and a morning (8–12) or afternoon (12–4) window, and pay in full. We confirm within 24 hours or refund you in full.
Who handles smart-home permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and licensed specialty trades. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
Wi-Fi bulbs or a wired control system?
Wi-Fi bulbs avoid new wiring but depend on the network. Wired dimmers, 0-10 V, and a local hub are more durable for whole-house lighting.
Do occupancy sensors count as energy-code controls?
They are a common control type. Commercial lighting replacements are reviewed against energy-code control requirements.
What information helps define scope?
Room list, switch photos, shade motors yes or no, and city or county.
