Premium Residential & Executive IT

Custom Home Automation

Move beyond unreliable Wi-Fi gadgets. We engineer private, local-first Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Matter ecosystems designed for speed, reliability, and long-term control.

Local-first control (no cloud dependency)
Mesh networks that scale (Zigbee / Z-Wave)
Secure design from router to device

Real automation doesn’t rely on the cloud.

Most consumer “smart” devices connect directly to Wi-Fi and depend on third-party cloud services. When the internet is down, the vendor changes their platform, or a server has an outage—your automation becomes unreliable.

Buckeye Nerds builds it differently. We deploy dedicated low-power mesh networks like Zigbee and Z-Wave, and future-proof your ecosystem with Matter where it makes sense.

The result: faster response times, less Wi-Fi congestion, and the peace of mind that your home’s data stays in your home. Your home. Your data. Your control.

Built for executive homes and privacy-focused setups
Reduced Wi-Fi load
Mesh devices don’t choke your network like dozens of Wi-Fi bulbs and plugs.
Faster routines
Local automation executes instantly—no “cloud lag” or service outages.
Security by design
Segmentation, hardened Wi-Fi, and controlled remote access.
Clean user experience
A single dashboard with consistent scenes and behavior.
The integration process

Designed. Deployed. Tuned.

We don’t “install gadgets.” We engineer a system that stays reliable and behaves consistently.

  1. 1
    Network assessment
    We evaluate coverage, interference, and where a mesh will perform best.
  2. 2
    Hardware deployment
    Hubs, switches, sensors, locks, and secure device enrollment.
  3. 3
    Automation programming
    Scenes, schedules, triggers, and “it just works” behavior tuned to you.
