I met Ryan 20 years ago and had him help us with our sound system. We moved and I hired him to set up our system in our new home. He doesn't rip and tear your home up and cleans up after he's done. You don't even know he was there except for the great quality of sound he leaves behind. Our movie viewing is exceptional! He does great work and knows his job well. He is there whenever we need him and also I can text him and he is able to remotely get us up and running with no issue. I haven't needed him for about 4 years and I text him 2 days ago. He answered right away and resolved the issue remotely again! Very thankful that Bose recommended him to me 20 years ago. When we moved we got rid of Bose and went with a different system Ryan recommended. He does everything that turns your home into a Smart Home.Thank you Ryan for always being there for us.

We had an incredible experience with Camelback Smart Homes for our full smart home and home theater design and build at our residence in Biltmore Circle. From start to finish, the team handled everything seamlessly. It included a complete Wisdom home theater, Kaleidescape, Control4 automation, along with all new lighting, whole-home audio, and alarm system integration with full security camera installation.Thank you to Ryan, who was outstanding throughout the entire process. His attention to detail, communication, and technical knowledge made what could have been a complex project feel easy and well-managed. Every component was thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed, and the system works beautifully together.The entire project exceeded our expectations in both performance and usability. If you’re looking for a luxury smart home integrator in the Biltmore area that truly understands luxury technology and delivers on it, talk to Ryan. Highly recommend.

Easy from start to finish. The team came in, Quoted and communicated through text whenever I messaged. Terrific service. Any questions I’ve had after the install have been answered immediately and accurately. I could not ask for a better experience.

Ryan did an excellent job from wall construction to hooking up everything in my living room. The look is super clean with high quality sound and perfect placement of all speakers as well as the TV. Also he was extremely accommodating to the rest of my house remodel work that was being done. Top notch all the way

Ryan and his crew did an amazing job installing surround sound in our home today. He and his team were very patient and explained everything in detail. They also went above and beyond in fixing a couple additional issues I was having. I highly recommend using their services. They are very knowledgeable and very good people. My home theater system and surround sound for music throughout our home sounds amazing. Thanks so much!

We needed to upgrade an old Elan home audio system. Ryan came out and gave an estimate which was reasonable. He came with two guys to do the installation and worked continuously until the job was done. He and the guys he works with all have a great camaraderie and were fun to have in our home for the installation. The system works great. We couldn’t be happier than the service we received from Ryan and his team. We highly recommend using Smart Home Technologies.

I knew immediately when first meeting Bryan this was the guy for my project. Great communication, great suggestions, and he was on time. He answered all my crazy questions in the heat, and had a proposal back to me within an hour reflecting very competitive pricing. He installed the Sonance 8:1 outdoor speakers and even brought on extra sub for the project, he had a hunch that I would want a second sub. If you're thinking about or on the fence about Sonance, it's an incredible system. The acoustics are exceptional. Bryan suggested to use the Heos system which is very user friendly. Even dialed in my surround sound home audio to improve the Inside experience. This company is top-notch, big shout out to Mike, you did great work installing and hooking up the speakers and being very careful with my landscape. I highly recommend Smart Home Technologies for your audio needs.

I hired SmartHome to help me with several projects our the home we bought including security with cameras and home server, distributed audio, and major upgrades to my home theater setup. Throughout the process Ryan, Tyler and Mike were amazing. Not only did they know what they were doing and have simple answers to complex problems, but they were a pleasure to work with. After installation support is top notch going above and beyond with troubleshooting and customization help. I couldn’t recommend the team more and will use them again for future needs.

We had our home theater, outdoor patio and pool speakers installed by Smart Home Technologies a couple of weeks ago.They are very easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable, I didn’t know where to start with getting everything set up and working properly. Ryan came out and walked me through everything I needed and made a couple of recommendations to get the best system set up. As promised I had a clear proposal the next day, and after we agreed on everything, he set up the installation for the next week.On the installation day, Ryan, Tyler and Micheal showed up on time and worked on getting installed. All three were very professional and kept our house clean throughout the install.I rate a company not only on the purchase and the product but most importantly on how they handle any issues. We had a couple of issues with one of the speakers and one of the music zones. Ryan had the speaker replaced and Tyler fixed the zone quickly.I highly recommend Smart Home Technologies, I have a system I am very happy with and a go to company if I need anything else in the future.

I met Ryan at a Home and Garden show this winter. He was quick at getting to our place and providing an estimate for the audio and visual work that we needed. Once we agreed upon the plan Ryan and his team of Tyler and Mike completed all of the upgrades in a timely, friendly, and extremely professional manner. Everything installed is of good quality and a good value. I will recommend Ryan and his team to everyone. They are great people to work with! Thank you for everything that you did to enhance the quality of our home!Gaynard

We have used Ryan’s company at two homes for several installations, most recently for a whole house (including outdoor) system of audio/TV. He always provides excellent, thoughtful advice and then executes a professional plan. He REALLY knows TV’s/Audio and Control 4. We highly recommend Smart Home Technologies. Thank you for doing such a great job for us!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Smart Home Technologies! The quality of the components and the workmanship was exactly what I was looking for. I was amazed at how good Ryan and Michael were at snaking wires for my 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos system without any need for drywall repair afterwards. Supply chain issues are wreaking havok on availability of electronic components but Ryan bent over backwards to build the entertainment system I wanted, with high-quality components that I couldn't be happier with. And, he did it according to my timeline. If you are looking for a trustworthy, responsive, concientious, knowledgeable, and highly skilled solution, you need look no further than Smart Home Technologies.

I started out not really sure what I wanted. Ryan did an amazing job on my house. He is responsive, knowledgeable and really listened when I described what I was trying to accomplish. I met him at the Phoenix home show and am very glad that I did.

From the initial discussion and introduction at the home show, to the home consultation and subsequent install, Ryan has been nothing short of awesome.From understanding what we wanted before we knew what we wanted! To advising on equipment and TV choices, Ryan has listened and delivered everything we could of asked for and a little more.The day of installation has been and gone and everything went seamlessly. Wiring in to our existing speaker system and delivering a clean look with no cables, boxes or evidence of anything other than a TV on the wall.It’s early days in the use of the equipment but currently we are more than happy with the service and professionalism of Ryan and the team, we would not hesitate to use again or recommend to anyone looking for a top notch audio visual provider.Thanks Ryan!!

Ryan and his installation crew are incredible. The buying process was simple and prices were great. The installation crew was efficient and professional. Ryan is responsive to follow up questions even years after installation. I am older and periodically have issues understanding some of the technology and Ryan patiently explains how to resolve my question. The video and sound system have helped make the covid isolation much more tolerable. I will always recommend Smart Home to anyone wanting to improve their home entertainment experience.

We sought better service for our Control4 audio/visual system support and met Ryan and the folks at Smart Home Technologies. They quickly addressed and resolved complex connectivity issues. If you need knowledgeable and proficient service coupled with punctual, polite and professional staff, look no further than Smart Home.
