Getting a smart home shouldn't feel like a side project. It should feel like plugging in a lamp. That's the entire premise behind OnGrid — and it starts with something we call the Smart Home Builder.
The Problem with Every Other Smart Home Kit
Walk into any big-box store or browse online and you'll find smart home devices everywhere. Bulbs, plugs, cameras, sensors — there's no shortage of hardware. The problem isn't the products. The problem is what happens after you buy them.
Each device has its own app. Each app has its own account. Getting everything to talk to each other means reading setup guides, scanning QR codes, connecting devices to the right Wi-Fi network, and naming rooms in the right order. And if something doesn't work? You're on your own.
We watched people go through this over and over and decided there had to be a better way.
Introducing the Smart Home Builder
The OnGrid Smart Home Builder is how you design your system before it ever leaves our hands. Think of it as a configurator — you pick the devices you need, choose your rooms and goals, and then we do all the work of turning that into a real, functional smart home before shipping it to your door.
No IT background required. No 45-minute YouTube tutorial. No troubleshooting weekend. You receive a box, plug everything in, and your home is smart.
We build your smart home before it ships — so it all works together from the moment you plug in.
How It Works in 3 Steps
Step 1: Build Your Kit Choose your devices — smart bulbs, smart plugs, cameras, door and window sensors, and a Google Nest Hub display. We'll help you find the right combination for your home size and goals.
Step 2: We Configure Everything Our team programs your entire system before it ships — device names, rooms, automations, and everything linked to Google Home. Done for you.
Step 3: You Plug It In Open the box, plug in your devices, and walk through a simple activation. Your smart home is live in minutes — not hours.
What You Get with an OnGrid System
Every OnGrid kit is built on Google Home — the platform that powers millions of smart homes worldwide. Here's what that looks like day to day:
Control from Your Phone Manage lights, plugs, and cameras from anywhere — even when you're away from home.
Full Voice Control Say "Hey Google" to turn on lights, start routines, or check who's at the door — completely hands-free.
Nest Hub Display Your entire smart home visible in one place. See all your devices, camera feeds, and routines on a single screen.
OnGrid Care Protection Optional protection plans that cover device replacements, remote support, and ongoing troubleshooting — so your system never goes dark.
Why We're Based in Tucson — And Why That Matters
OnGrid is proudly built and operated in Tucson, AZ. We're not a faceless storefront. We're a small, focused team that builds smart home systems by hand, tests them, and ships them with our name on it.
When you reach out with a question, you're talking to someone who actually built your kit. When something needs adjusting, we handle it. That kind of accountability is rare in consumer electronics — and it's something we're committed to keeping as we grow.
Ready to Build?
Whether you're getting set up in a new place or finally making the upgrade you've been putting off, the Smart Home Builder is the easiest path to a connected home. Pick your devices, tell us about your space, and we handle the rest.
Your smart home should work from the moment you want it to — not after a weekend of setup. That's the OnGrid difference.
