Overview

A tech-savvy family had accumulated smart locks, cameras, thermostats, speakers, and lighting from six different brands, each on its own app, some on the guest WiFi, none of them secured. They wanted it unified and, above all, safe.

The Challenge

Smart devices are notoriously insecure and rarely updated. Mixed onto the main home network, they created an open door to laptops, phones, and network storage holding family photos and financial records.

Our Solution

We built a dedicated IoT VLAN that isolates smart devices from the family's computers while still allowing phone control. We standardized on a reliable access-point platform, enabled automatic firmware updates where possible, and documented every device.

  • Isolated IoT VLAN separating smart devices from personal computers
  • Firewall rules allowing app control without exposing the main network
  • Consolidated, reliable WiFi coverage for 40+ connected devices
  • A written device inventory so nothing is a mystery later

“It all just works now, and I finally understand what's on my network. Knowing the cameras can't touch our computers lets me sleep at night.”
