Smart Home Installation in Manhattan
Installation and setup for thermostats, lighting, smart locks, cameras, shades and Wi-Fi. Your devices connected and ready to use.
Smart Home Devices We Install
A Guy Who Can Fix It installs and configures smart-home devices throughout Manhattan. We handle the physical installation, the connection and the settings you need for everyday use. Turning on the living-room lights should remain a fairly small event.

New thermostat installation, replacement of an existing thermostat, Wi-Fi connection, temperature schedules and app setup. We check the device against your existing heating and cooling controls before installation.

Smart switches, dimmers, bulbs, outlets, plugs, remotes and lighting hubs. We connect supported devices, group lights by room and configure useful scenes, schedules and voice commands.

Lock installation, fit and calibration, keypad setup and supported remote controls. Wired and battery-powered video doorbells can be mounted, connected and configured with the appropriate chime and notification settings.
Cameras & Smart Sensors
Indoor and outdoor camera installation, viewing setup and motion notifications. We also install door, window, motion, temperature and water-leak sensors, along with compatible smart smoke and CO detectors.

Smart Thermostat Installation in Manhattan
Nest, ecobee & Honeywell Home
A new thermostat needs to match the controls already in your apartment. Our Guys check the model and existing connection, remove the old thermostat, mount and connect the new device, and test its operation.
Send the new thermostat's product link and a photo of the existing thermostat when booking. If you have a photo of its wiring or a heating and cooling system model, include that as well.
Temperature Schedules & App Setup
We connect the thermostat to Wi-Fi, configure supported app controls and set the temperature schedule you want. If your apartment has several compatible thermostats, we can name them by room or zone so the controls are easy to identify.
Before finishing, we check the installed thermostat's response and show you the everyday controls.
Smart Lighting, Switches & Dimmers
Smart lighting can mean one dimmer, a set of connected bulbs or room-by-room controls. We install the selected devices and configure the supported functions, with attention to the existing wiring and fixture compatibility.
Installation & Connection
Smart switches and dimmers, connected outlets, bulbs, lighting bridges, wireless remotes and sensors. Physical installation and digital setup can be handled during the same visit.
For fixture replacement, LED lighting or related electrical work, see our Electrical Help service.
Scenes That Fit the Room
Morning lighting, a softer evening setting, scheduled lights and supported motion-based controls. We group devices logically and test the scene you intend to use.
One command for the living room should operate the living room. It is a modest ambition. We support it.
Smart Lock, Doorbell & Camera Installation
Smart Locks
We install compatible locks, check the door fit and latch alignment, calibrate the mechanism and configure the keypad or supported app controls. Send photos of both sides of the existing lock and the new lock model before the visit.
Video Doorbells
Wired or battery-powered doorbells, mounting, chime setup, connection and notifications. We check the view at the entrance and the available power connection. For an apartment entrance, include any installation requirements from your building.
Security Cameras
Indoor and outdoor cameras, mounting, supported viewing controls, motion zones and recording settings. The camera position is chosen around the area you need to see and the available power and network connection.
Motorized Shade, Blind & Curtain Installation
We install compatible motorized window treatments, including shades, blinds, curtain tracks, motors, remotes and hubs. The work includes mounting the system, aligning it, adjusting its travel limits, pairing the controls and testing the movement.
Supported schedules can open or close shades at selected times, group several windows together or combine shades with a lighting scene. Send the product model, window measurements and photos of the mounting area when booking.
For curtain rods, tracks and other window-treatment mounting, see General Mounting.
Wi-Fi, Mesh & Connected-Device Setup
Wi-Fi & Mesh Installation
We install and configure compatible routers, mesh systems and access points. The placement follows your apartment's layout and the devices that need a connection.
Once the network equipment is installed, we check connectivity in the relevant rooms and connect the smart-home devices included in your appointment.
Hubs, Voice Controls & Apps
We pair supported equipment with its hub or app, assign devices to rooms and configure the controls you want. Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings setup depends on the exact equipment you have.
Compatibility is checked before combining products from different brands. Send your device list and preferred control app with the booking request.
Sonos & Smart Speakers
Connection and setup for compatible Sonos systems and smart speakers, including room names, speaker groups and everyday audio controls.
Connected Appliances
Wi-Fi and app setup for compatible refrigerators, ovens, washers, dryers and dishwashers. This can accompany appliance installation during the same visit.
Smart Sensors & Leak Alerts
Small sensors can give you useful information about your apartment. We install and configure compatible door, window, motion, temperature and humidity sensors, as well as water-leak sensors near sinks and appliances.
Each sensor can be named by its location, connected to its supported app or hub, and tested for the notification you expect. We also install compatible smart smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and check their supported connected functions.
