How does Lake San Marcos's climate affect this service?

Inland smart-home work spans whole-home Lutron Caseta scenes for newer homes to single-room smart-switch retrofits in older Poway and San Marcos houses.
Why won't my smart switch work?
Almost always because the box doesn't have a neutral wire. Older homes wired switches with only the hot and switched conductors. Smart switches need constant power to run their radio. We can pull a neutral, swap to a smart bulb solution, or use a Lutron Caseta switch that works without a neutral. We pick per box.
Should I run Cat6 if I have great Wi-Fi?
If your Wi-Fi is great everywhere, no. If you have dead zones, want guaranteed bandwidth for a home office, or want to add wired access points to fix coverage, yes. Cat6 outperforms wireless for video conferencing, large file transfers, and gaming. The pros we send run it neatly and terminate it cleanly.
