Planned, installed, and working, from the light switch to the software.
Smart switches that never miss, sound in every room, wifi with no dead spots, ethernet where you want it, and one app that runs it all. Whether it's a 1920s house, a new build, or a small office, I plan it around your place and your budget, install it, and make it simple enough that everyone can use it. If it has electricity in it, it's what I deal with. No jargon, no pressure.

You don't need to become a hobbyist or hand your house to a big integrator with a big invoice. You need someone honest who plans around your place and your budget, installs it properly, and explains it in plain English. Homes and small offices, older buildings and new ones. No jargon, no upselling, and everything stays in your name.
A thousand brands, half of them junk. I plan what's actually worth doing for your place and budget, then make it happen.
Three apps, two hubs, a switch that drops off wifi. I untangle it into one setup that just works, in one app.
I fix the foundation first: upgraded internet, mesh wifi, real ethernet ports, and clean wiring. Everything smart depends on it.
No neutral wire, plaster walls, quirky wiring. There's a right device for almost every situation, and I know which one.
I favor local-first setups like Home Assistant: your switches and cameras keep working without the cloud, and your data stays yours.
Conference room TV, sound, wifi, cameras, door access, and the website behind it all, set up once, properly, by one person.
Planning only, full installation, or anything in between. Start with a free call and we'll work out what your place actually needs.
A walkthrough of your place, in person or on a call. I map out what's worth doing, what it costs, and what to skip. You get a clear plan you can run with, or that I execute for you.
Smart switches, dimmers, plugs, and bulbs that work every time, in older homes without neutral wires and new builds alike. The wall switch still works like a wall switch, just better.
Speakers, multi-room audio, soundbars, TVs, and streaming, picked for your space, mounted, wired cleanly, and simple enough that everyone in the house can use them.
Upgraded internet service, mesh wifi with no dead spots, real ethernet ports where you want them, and clean cabling from the wall to the desk.
Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Home, set up to actually control your stuff. Plus Raspberry Pi and hub projects for the in-between things off-the-shelf gear can't do.
Every device in one place, automations that make the house feel smart, and dashboards the whole family or office can use. Local-first, so it works even when the internet doesn't.
Cameras, video doorbells, smart locks, sensors, and thermostats, installed and tied together, with your footage and your data under your control.
Websites, custom customer portals, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, and the big clouds like AWS. The software side, handled by the same person who wired the office. Try the free AWS cost check.
Something new to add, something stopped working, or you just want it looked after. Help whenever you need it, without hiring full time.
No set packages. Every job starts with a free call so you know what you're getting and what it costs.
A free call about your place and what you want it to do. I tell you where the biggest wins are, at no cost.
Exactly what goes in, what it costs, and what to skip. No surprises, and no hourly meter running in the background.
I install it, set it up, and walk you through it, or hand you the plan to run with yourself. Either way, it ends with everything actually working.
Gerber Smart Homes is run by Stefan Gerber, an AWS Certified Solutions Architect who is just as comfortable behind a switch plate as behind a server. I work for you, not for any vendor, I price by the job, and you keep ownership of everything.
This isn't theory. I've wired and terminated networks, set up smart devices, cameras, and sound, built Raspberry Pi and Home Assistant setups, moved a whole company onto the cloud, and built custom websites, portals, and dashboards. Most installers stop at the wall plate and most developers never leave the screen. I do the whole stack, from the switch in the wall to the software that runs it.
Tell me a bit about your place and what you'd like it to do, and I'll get back to you within one business day.
