How to build a smart home without drilling
Every core smart-home function has a no-drill option. Here's how to cover lighting, power, security, and access without a single hole.
Plug-in and screw-in
Smart plugs and bulbs cover power and lighting with nothing to mount.
Stick-on and freestanding
LED strips and shelf-standing cameras use adhesive or just sit in place.
Retrofit access
A retrofit lock mounts over your deadbolt's interior; a button pusher automates switches — both reverse cleanly.
