Connected homes

Control that feels simple.

Thoughtful electrical wiring and device choices are what make smart features useful day to day.

LIGHTING

Scenes & dimming

Set the right light for cooking, relaxing, working or entertaining.

AUTOMATION

Schedules & sensors

Put lighting and selected devices on the routine that fits your space.

WIRING

Connected infrastructure

Plan power, controls and data pathways while walls are open or systems are being upgraded.

Real control details

What smart controls look like on the wall.

A useful smart setup begins with the switches people actually touch. These photos show a few ways lighting controls can fit into a finished room; model choice depends on your wiring and fixtures.

Real installations

Lighting and access people use every day.

Smart features work best when the basic electrical installation, device location and everyday controls are planned together.

Voice-ready smart homes

Ask for the room—not another app.

We plan the electrical side of connected controls so compatible systems can respond naturally through Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home with Siri, Ring or Roku Smart Home.

VOICE

Lighting by room or scene

Use simple commands such as “turn off the downstairs lights” or “set the kitchen for dinner” when the chosen controls and ecosystem support them.

ENTRY

Doorbells, cameras and access

Plan power, placement and network coverage for connected entry devices without confusing account ownership—especially in rentals and Airbnbs.

FOUNDATION

Reliable wiring first

Neutral availability, fixture compatibility, load type, hub placement and Wi-Fi coverage are reviewed before equipment is selected.

Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home/Siri, Ring and Roku Smart Home are examples of compatible ecosystems—not partnership claims. Device support varies by model.

Equipment we work with

Familiar controls, installed for real life.

Ask us about Lutron lighting controls and Ring doorbells or cameras as part of a planned smart home setup. We can review power, device placement, wiring and how the devices fit your space.

Product selection and compatibility depend on your existing system and the chosen model.

Can an electrician install smart switches that work with Alexa or Google Home?

Yes. Francisco can review the existing wiring, lighting loads, neutral availability, device locations and network coverage, then install compatible smart switches or dimmers. Final compatibility depends on the selected equipment.

Can smart lighting work with Siri or Apple Home?

Compatible controls can work with Apple Home and Siri when the devices, hub, home network and account setup support that ecosystem. The electrical installation starts with safe wiring and compatible loads.

Can you install Ring doorbells, cameras or Roku Smart Home devices?

FPE can help with suitable power, device location, wiring and network planning for connected doorbells, cameras and other supported devices. Product features, subscriptions and compatibility depend on the manufacturer and model.
