FAQ

Questions, answered.

Straight answers on monthly fees, who installs Homynex, how pricing works, and how builders offer it — no jargon, no fine print.

No monthly fee & ownership

Does Homynex charge a monthly fee?

No. Homynex is a one-time purchase — there is no subscription, no contract, and no recurring monitoring bill. You buy the system once and own it outright.

Do I own the system or lease it?

You own it. Homynex is bought once and owned outright by the homeowner — it is not leased, financed as a service, or tied to a provider contract. The hardware in your home belongs to you.

Are there any required add-on services?

No. There are no required add-on services, monitoring plans, or paid tiers to unlock the system. Once installed, the whole-home package works without any mandatory ongoing payment.

Do smart home systems have a monthly fee?

Many do — subscription and monitored systems like Vivint charge a recurring monthly fee. Homynex doesn't: it's a one-time purchase you own outright, with no monthly fee, no contract, and no monitoring bill.

Will my smart home stop working if I stop paying?

There's nothing to stop paying — Homynex has no subscription. You own the system outright, so it keeps working; there is no provider that can switch it off.

Does a smart home add resale value?

Industry estimates put smart-home features at roughly a few percent price premium and a faster sale. And because Homynex is a one-time owned upgrade rather than a subscription, the value stays with the home, not with a service plan — though these are general industry estimates that vary by market, not a guaranteed return.

Install & electrician

Who installs Homynex?

A licensed local electrician installs Homynex, typically during construction or renovation. There is no proprietary technician and no installer lock-in — your own electrician fits the whole-home system as part of the build.

Can it be added during a renovation?

Yes. Homynex can be installed during a renovation or upgrade, not only in new construction. Your electrician integrates the systems while the walls and wiring are already open during the project.

Do I need special technicians for service?

No. Because a licensed local electrician installs and services Homynex, you are not dependent on a single proprietary technician or a service contract. Any qualified local electrician can support the system.

Can my regular electrician install it?

Yes. A licensed local electrician installs Homynex, typically during construction or renovation. There is no proprietary technician — your own electrician fits the whole-home system as part of the work.

Pricing & packages

How much does Homynex cost?

Homynex is quoted as one whole-home package per home — not a per-device price list — so it fits your build or upgrade budget. There is no monthly fee. The exact figure depends on the home and which systems are included, so we provide a per-home quote.

Why don't you list device prices?

Because the value is the integrated system, not the individual parts. Quoting device by device would misrepresent what Homynex is. We price one whole-home package per home so the quote reflects the systems that home actually needs.

What are the package tiers?

There are three scopes — Essentials, Enhanced, and Whole-home — that differ by which systems are included. Essentials covers the core, Enhanced adds more systems, and Whole-home integrates the full set across the house.

How much does a whole-home smart system cost?

Homynex is quoted per home to fit your build or upgrade budget — there is no per-device price list and no monthly fee. See /cost/ for how pricing works and /how-it-works/ for what is included, then request a per-home quote.

What's a cheaper alternative to Control4?

Homynex is a whole-home system you own outright — no dealer license and no monthly fee — installed by your local electrician rather than a proprietary integrator. See /homynex-vs-control4/ for a side-by-side comparison.

Builders & channel

Can builders offer Homynex as a spec-home upgrade?

Yes. Builders can offer Homynex as a spec-home upgrade using standardized packages, channel pricing, and zero-inventory onboarding — so the smart-home option is easy to specify and quote across homes.

Do you support production builders?

Yes. Standardized packages and channel pricing are built for production builders, so the same integrated ecosystem can be specified repeatably across every home in a development without holding inventory.

Systems & app

What systems does Homynex include?

Homynex includes eleven integrated systems — entry, lighting, climate, security, audio, energy and more — all controlled from one app.

Does it work with Alexa?

Yes. Homynex works with Amazon Alexa.

Does Homynex work without internet or Wi-Fi?

Yes. Core automations run locally on the hub, so the home keeps working without internet. Remote access from the app — controlling the home while you are away — needs an internet connection, like any app.

Where is Homynex available?

Homynex is available in the US, starting in Utah's Wasatch Front — Lehi, Provo, Salt Lake City and St. George.
