Internet of Things we repair in King, NC
Smart assistants, cameras, doorbells, thermostats, lights, locks, hubs, and streaming sticks. They are supposed to make the house easier. When they fight the Wi-Fi, they do the opposite.
Monday–Friday 9:00 AM–7:00 PM by appointment. Drop-off is scheduled when your ticket is near the top of the queue.
The small computers around the house
These gadgets all need a network, an account, and a firmware update that arrived at 2 a.m. When one of those pieces fails, the device looks broken. Setup, Wi-Fi, and a dead cloud login are usually the real problem.
Game consoles and television panels have their own pages: game systems and TVs and entertainment. Whole-house Wi-Fi lives on networks.

How the work actually goes
Smart assistants
Alexa, Google, Siri, Echo, and Google Home. When they go quiet, the fault is often Wi-Fi, a dead login, a muted mic, or two assistants fighting over the same lights.
Streaming devices
Fire Stick, Chromecast, Apple TV, and Roku. Sticks that will not boot, apps that updated themselves into a brick, and four remotes on the table. Panel work is on TVs and entertainment.
Security cameras
Cloud cameras for houses and small shops. Offline units, missed motion, and firmware that failed at 2 a.m. They belong on their own VLAN, not on the tax PC.
Video doorbells
A camera with a worse radio, hanging on brick at the edge of the Wi-Fi. We check power, transformer, porch signal, and the app before anyone buys a second doorbell.
Smart thermostats
Wires, Wi-Fi, and the account. We install compatible units and recover ones that went dark after a router swap. We do not guess at HVAC wiring.
Smart lighting
Bulbs, switches, and plugs spread across three apps, two of which no longer exist. One hub or one assistant should own the lights.
Locks and sensors
Door locks, leak sensors, garage openers, and the fridge that pings when the door is ajar. False alarms and orphaned firmware are the usual tickets.
Hubs
One hub beats six apps. We pick a path that matches what you already own and document the logins so the next outage is not a scavenger hunt.
Gaming and the living-room pile
Consoles sit next to the streaming stick and fight over HDMI and Wi-Fi. Console repair itself is on game systems and game console repair.

Internet of Things — FAQ
1. Bring it in, or come to the house?
Speakers, sticks, and small hubs can come to the shop. Cameras, doorbells, thermostats, and lighting usually need an onsite visit.
2. Alexa and Google in the same house?
Yes. We can make that less chaotic, or pick one and retire the other.
3. Camera keeps dropping offline. Is it dead?
Sometimes. More often the porch is at the edge of the Wi-Fi or a firmware update failed. We check the network before we sell another camera.
4. Same Wi-Fi as the computers?
It can. It should not. Guest networks or a separate VLAN keep toys away from tax software. That conversation is on networking and wireless.
5. Walk-in?
No. Appointment only. Home-based shop in King.
