Smart Home Installation in Dallas, TX
Ring doorbells, Sonos audio, Nest and Ecobee thermostats, Yale smart locks, and Philips Hue lighting — unified on Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, or Home Assistant. White-glove installation for Dallas's finest homes, from Highland Park to Southlake. Starter packages from $299.
Why Cognito
A smart home that actually feels smart.
One app, whole house
Lights, locks, cameras, thermostats, and audio on one dashboard — Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, or Home Assistant.
Philips Hue + Lutron Caseta
Color scenes with Philips Hue and rock-solid in-wall dimmers with Lutron Caseta. No neutral wire? Caseta still works.
Smart locks + doorbells
Yale, Schlage Encode, August, Ring, Nest. Shared codes for family and vendors. Full audit log.
Climate + zoning
Ecobee and Nest thermostats. Multi-zone scheduling with geofencing, so the AC kicks on when you pull into Dallas.
Scenes that run themselves
"Good morning" ramps up the lights at sunrise. "Movie night" dims the room and fires up the Sonos.
Solid WiFi underneath
Ubiquiti / UniFi mesh WiFi and Araknis access points, so cameras, doorbells, and speakers never drop.

What Dallas says
5.0 stars. 127 reviews. Real DFW homes.
“DeMarkuss showed up on time, mounted our 75-inch Samsung above the fireplace, and hid every single wire behind the wall. It looks like the TV grew out of the wall. My wife won't stop showing people.”
James R. — Dallas
“Had another company come out first. They took one look at our stone fireplace and said they couldn't do it. Cognito drilled into the stone, ran the cables, and the result is flawless. Should have called them first.”
Michelle T. — Highland Park
“We had 6 TVs mounted, a full Sonos system installed, Ring cameras on every corner, and a smart lock on every door. One crew. One day. Everything works from one app.”
David K. — Frisco
