SMARTEST HOMES AROUND
Meet STEWARD, your personal smart-home automation assistant
STEWARD works with voice-controlled devices such as Alexa or Google Home, smart thermostats, door locks, garage doors, security cameras, and more. And upgrades can easily be added if you’re looking to make your home the smartest on the block.
STEWARD delivers convenience, along with a savings of time, money, and energy. Simply connect your smart devices, and you’re on your way to conserving more energy, managing your water use, saving money, and living with technology at your beck and call.
“One of the really cool things you can do with STEWARD is actually set up scenes. One of my favorite scenes is my “bedtime” scene that I use every night. I just tell my Alexa device, “turn on bedtime” and it turns off all my lights, locks my front door, makes sure my garage door is closed, and arms my security system.”

“STEWARD definitely makes you more aware of what your water and energy usage is every month or every day. Now that we have it, I can’t imagine having a house without it. We’ve hooked a lot of parts of the house to the STEWARD system. It’s really convenient to have it all connected. Moving into a house that was ready to be smart, we didn’t have to rewire anything or pull walls down. That was a big selling feature for us.”
