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.
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.
We don’t “install gadgets.” We engineer a system that stays reliable and behaves consistently.
From a single executive home office to entire estate automation—privacy-focused, secure, and engineered for uptime.
Z-Wave locks, sensors, and local-storage camera strategies—secure your perimeter without monthly cloud fees.
Future-proof interoperability across Apple/Google ecosystems with reliable low-latency device networks.
Zigbee switches/dimmers with scenes for focus, evenings, travel mode, and effortless wake-ups.
Centralized control (ex: Home Assistant / Hubitat) with secure remote access and clean dashboards.
We’ll design a local-first system that remains reliable even when the internet isn’t.
