These items were prewired for upgrades after the home purchase.

If you look on the panel in the garage there should be a sticker referring to Galaxy Home Solutions (352-748-4868). You can call them for a free smart home orientation which they will do over the phone due to COVID. They offer a way to make the smart home complete with smart locks, Ring video equipment, dimmers, light control, and irrigation and garage door all accessed via WiFi.

We found their prices on the high side but we are technologically adept and can physically do this work ourselves. It may be well worth it for others though who want a smart home and can’t DIY.

Galaxy quote was $1400
