Smarter Control, Greater Comfort
Smart Home Wiring & Controls in the Hill Country
Smart switches, dimmers, and automated controls make a home easier to live in, but they only work reliably when the wiring and device compatibility are right. Texas Highlands Electric installs the electrical side of home automation across Boerne and the Hill Country, from a few smart switches to whole-home lighting control. We make sure the wiring, neutrals, and load ratings are correct so your controls respond consistently instead of dropping offline or needing a weekly reset.
Getting Smart Controls to Actually Work
Most smart-switch headaches come down to the electrical basics: a missing neutral wire, a dimmer that isn’t rated for the load or the bulbs, or too many devices on a circuit. We check what your existing wiring supports before installing, use switches and dimmers matched to your fixtures, and confirm the load is within spec. The result is controls that respond every time, dimming that doesn’t flicker or buzz, and a system that behaves the way you expect.
Smart Lighting & Scenes
Smart lighting is where automation makes the biggest daily difference, whether it’s a single automated porch light or scenes that set an entire floor at once. We install the switches and controls and wire them so schedules, motion activation, and scenes run reliably. If you’re building or remodeling, planning the control wiring during rough-in gives you the cleanest, most flexible setup.

Home Automation FAQs
Why do my smart switches keep dropping offline or lagging?
It’s usually an electrical cause: a missing neutral, an incompatible dimmer or load, or too many devices on a circuit. We check the wiring and correct the setup so controls respond consistently.
Can I add smart switches to my existing wiring?
Often, yes. Many smart switches need a neutral wire, so we confirm your wiring supports them first and handle any wiring the install requires.
Do you install smart dimmers that work with LED bulbs?
Yes. We install dimmers rated for your LED fixtures so they dim smoothly without flickering or buzzing.
Can you set up automated and motion-activated lighting?
Yes. We install and wire the controls for schedules, scenes, and motion-activated lighting so they run reliably.
Should I plan automation during a remodel or new build?
Yes. Planning control wiring during rough-in gives you the cleanest, most flexible setup and avoids retrofitting later.
