At Oshawa Smart Home, we believe that "smart" technology shouldn't be a luxury for the tech-savvy—it should be a lifeline for our seniors. Based right here in the heart of Oshawa, our mission is simple: to help our neighbors age in place with dignity, safety, and total independence.
The modern world is full of incredible gadgets, but for many seniors in Durham Region, these tools feel out of reach or unnecessarily complex. We saw a gap between high-end home automation and the specific, practical needs of older adults.
We didn’t want to see our seniors forced into assisted living simply because of a fear of falls or a forgotten stove. We started Oshawa Smart Home to provide custom, senior-focused solutions that protect the person, not just the property.
We know that trust is earned, especially in an industry often clouded by long contracts and hidden fees. We operate differently:
You Own the Equipment:
We aren't here to lease you gadgets. You own every device we install. We are your technical partners who help you select, install, and master the technology.
No Contracts or Liens:
We’ve seen the news about companies placing "Notices of Security Interest" (liens) on seniors' homes. We never do that. There are no long-term contracts to sign and no hidden fine print. You pay for the service you receive, and that’s it.
Local & Personal:
We aren't a 1-800 number. We are your neighbors. When you call us, you get a technician who knows the streets of Oshawa and Whitby.
Safety Without Intrusion:
While we offer camera setup, we specialize in non-invasive wellness. We recommend motion sensors and smart alerts to let families know their loved ones are up and moving, preserving privacy while ensuring safety.
Protection Through Connection:
A smart home is only effective if you can use it. We ensure your Smart TV and Smartphone are fully integrated and easy to use, so you can stay connected to family, news, and emergency services with a single touch or voice command.
The "One-Touch" Rule:
If a system is too hard to use, it isn't "smart." We design every setup to be intuitive—staying until you feel 100% confident using your new tools.
Meet the Team
“I started this business because I wanted the seniors in my community to feel as safe in their homes as I do in mine. Technology should be a bridge to a better life, and at Oshawa Smart Home, we make sure that bridge is easy to cross.”
— Kira Bernardo, Founder
While we are proud to be based in Oshawa, we travel to seniors throughout the surrounding Durham Region! We provide in-home smart home device installation and patient tech support to older adults living in Oshawa, Whitby, Courtice, Ajax, and Bowmanville. If you are unsure if you are in our service radius, just give us a call!
Absolutely! Whether you bought a Ring Doorbell, Amazon Alexa, or smart plugs from a local store in Oshawa, we can come to your home to install and configure it for you. We are equipment-agnostic, meaning our goal is simply to make the smart home tech you already own work flawlessly for your safety and comfort.
Not at all. Most modern senior safety devices, like smart lighting, automated plugs, and video doorbells, run on standard home Wi-Fi. During our first visit, we will check your home internet connection to ensure it is strong enough to support your new smart home devices without any frustrating buffering or drops.
