Hi, I'm Joey. I started Central Florida Smart Homes with a simple belief: your home should work for you—not for a corporation. After more than five years of hands-on experience with the Home Assistant platform, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful, flexible, and truly private home automation can be when it’s done right.
Too many “smart home” solutions today come with strings attached—cloud dependencies, subscription fees, and limited control over your own devices. I wanted to offer something better. My focus is on fully local smart home systems that keep your data in your home, give you full ownership, and continue working even when the internet doesn’t.
Whether it’s lighting, climate, security, or custom automations tailored to your daily routines, I design and install systems that are reliable, private, and built to last. Every setup is customized to fit your needs—no locked ecosystems, no unnecessary fees, just smart technology that actually makes life easier.
At the end of the day, this isn’t just about convenience—it’s about control, privacy, and building a smarter home on your terms.
