Smart Automation Systems in Burbank

If we’re only replacing like‑for‑like smart switches on existing circuits, a permit may not be required. Adding new circuits, relocating outlets, installing a subpanel, or substantial low‑voltage work typically does require permits through the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division. We review your scope during consultation and handle all permitting and inspections as needed.

Design and installation typically take 2–7 days depending on complexity. If permits are required, the City of Burbank’s process generally runs 1–2 weeks, and inspections can often be scheduled within a few days. We sequence work to minimize downtime, often pre‑staging low‑voltage while permits for electrical scope are processed.

Yes. We evaluate options like smart dimmers designed for no‑neutral locations, adding neutrals via new cabling, or relocating control to a keypad where neutrals are present. We test dimmer/LED compatibility to meet Title 24 JA8 and ensure flicker‑free dimming. Our goal is to minimize wall repair while delivering reliable controls.

Absolutely. We perform a Wi‑Fi heat‑map to place wired access points on each level, using PoE for reliability. We tune channels to reduce interference, segment IoT devices for security, and ensure your theater and work devices get priority. The result is stable roaming, lower latency, and fewer buffering issues.

Yes. We coordinate EV charger circuits and can automate charging around time‑of‑use rates. Garage doors, gates, Ring/Nest cameras, thermostats, and doorbells integrate into scenes and notifications. We’ll reuse compatible devices where possible and provide a clear plan for any recommended upgrades.

We design racks with thermal management—vented doors, airflow paths, and thermostatically controlled fans—and avoid placing gear in unconditioned attics. Critical components get surge protection and UPS battery backup to ride through brief outages and voltage dips common on hot days.
