INSTALLATION
Need help installing your smart devices?
Once you've purchased your smart device(s), in most cases, you'll be able to install them yourself. So to help, we provide straightforward DIY installation videos for some of the most important devices for independent living. However, for those devices that require direct wiring, you may need the assistance of a professional installer. In that case, we provide guidance and interview questions to ensure that you find the right installer for the job
