Done installs a range of smart home devices that improve comfort, safety, and energy efficiency: smart thermostats, smart lighting controls, smart outlets and switches, whole-home surge protectors with monitoring, smart smoke and CO detectors, and EV chargers with app-based scheduling. The right combination depends on your home’s wiring, your existing ecosystem (Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit), and what you actually want to automate.

Smart Thermostats

A smart thermostat is often the highest-ROI smart home upgrade. Models like the Ecobee and Nest learn your schedule, adjust for occupancy, and can be controlled remotely — useful when a Colorado cold snap hits while you’re traveling. At 5,280 feet, Denver homes can see dramatic day-night temperature swings, and a smart thermostat that pre-conditions your home before you wake up or return from work makes a real comfort difference. Done installs and configures smart thermostats and ensures they’re compatible with your existing HVAC system, including multi-stage systems and heat pumps.

Smart Lighting Controls

Smart switches and dimmers replace standard wall switches and connect to your home network, enabling voice control, scheduling, and scene-setting. Unlike smart bulbs, smart switches work with any fixture and don’t require replacing every bulb when you want automation. Done installs Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart, and similar systems that integrate with major voice platforms. Outdoor smart lighting with motion sensing and dusk-to-dawn scheduling is also popular for Front Range homeowners who deal with long winter nights and want security lighting that doesn’t run all night.

Smart Outlets and USB Charging Stations

Smart outlets let you schedule or remotely control anything plugged into them — space heaters, holiday lights, outdoor decorations, or devices you want to cut power to when not in use. Done also installs combination outlet/USB-C charging stations that replace dated outlets in kitchens, home offices, and bedrooms. These require proper wiring and box depth to install correctly, which is why a professional installation matters.

Smart Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Interconnected smart smoke and CO detectors — like Nest Protect — send alerts to your phone when triggered, announce which room has the problem through a speaker, and can be silenced remotely for false alarms (burned toast, steam). Colorado homes with gas furnaces, water heaters, and fireplaces have real carbon monoxide exposure risk, especially during heating season when homes are buttoned up tight. Done installs hardwired detectors on dedicated circuits where code requires them and ensures proper placement per NFPA 72 guidelines.

Smart Panels and Whole-Home Energy Monitoring

Newer smart panel technology — such as the Leviton Load Center or Span panel — gives you circuit-level energy monitoring and control from an app. You can see which circuits are drawing the most power, set priorities for EV charging vs. other loads, and receive alerts for unusual consumption. Done’s electricians can discuss whether this level of monitoring makes sense given your home’s current panel and your energy goals.

  • Smart thermostats: Remote access, scheduling, occupancy sensing
  • Smart switches/dimmers: Voice control and scene automation without changing bulbs
  • Smart outlets: Scheduling and remote shutoff for plugged-in devices
  • Smart smoke/CO detectors: Phone alerts, voice announcements, interconnected protection
  • EV chargers: App-controlled charging with off-peak scheduling
  • Whole-home surge protectors: Panel-level protection with monitoring

Smart home upgrades are most valuable when the devices are installed and configured correctly from day one.
