About SmartHomes
Local expertise. Luxury execution. Every system we build, we stand behind.
Our Story
SmartHomes was founded by Barry Daoust with a simple idea: homeowners on the Big Island deserve the same level of technology and service you'd find at the world's finest resorts โ in their own homes.
With over 15 years of experience in smart home integration, we've built systems for some of the most beautiful residences on the Kohala Coast, Waikoloa, Kukio, Mauna Lani, and Mauna Kea Resort. From initial design through ongoing support, we're here for the long run.
Our Approach
The best smart home is one you don't think about. It just works โ beautifully, reliably, and exactly the way you want it.
Every system starts with understanding how you live. We design around your lifestyle, not around a product catalog. Technology should enhance your home's architecture, not compete with it.
Salt air, humidity, remote locations, and island shipping realities. We know the challenges because we live here. Every component we select and every installation we perform accounts for the unique demands of island living.
We don't install and disappear. Our systems are remotely monitored 24/7. When something needs attention, we often resolve it before you even notice. And when you need on-site service, we're local โ not flying in from the mainland.
Our Partners
We work with the industry's best โ Control4, Araknis, Snap One, Sonos, and more โ to deliver systems that perform flawlessly together.
Whether you're building new, renovating, or upgrading an existing system โ we'd love to help.
