run without you.
A drawer of half-configured plugs is the normal outcome. The difference is picking one platform, wiring a handful of reliable triggers, and stopping there.

The programs
Four programs, no shopping list attached
We take nothing from manufacturers, so the advice can be to buy less, or nothing at all.
Pick a platform
Choosing the ecosystem you'll live with, and which devices are worth starting with — usually fewer than you think.
See the programAutomations that stick
Triggers, conditions and sensors — so lights and heat behave without anyone touching a phone.
See the programNetwork & wifi
Coverage, channels, mesh and guest networks — because most 'broken' devices are a network problem.
See the programCameras & privacy
What a camera records, where it goes, who can see it, and what local-only actually means.

How it works
Screen share, fix it live
Written instructions fall apart on the third screen of a vendor app. Watching you do it is faster.
An inventory
Devices, apps and accounts, in one list. It is usually a revelation.
A plan on one platform
What stays, what goes, what gets replaced later.
Live troubleshooting
Screen share while it is happening, not after.

How we work
No affiliate links, no wiring
Nexella takes no commission from any brand. Half of good smart home advice is telling people not to buy something, and that is impossible when the advice is paid for by a catalog.
There is also work we won't touch: anything behind the drywall. Smart switches that replace mains wiring, new circuits and panel work go to a licensed electrician, and we are not an alarm monitoring company — no device here is a substitute for one.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Will you tell me which brand to buy?
Yes, with reasons, and we earn nothing either way. Sometimes the answer is to keep what you own.
Can you help me install a smart switch?
We can explain what it needs and how it fits your system. The wiring itself is for a licensed electrician — mains work is not a video-call job.
I rent. Is this pointless?
Not at all. Plugs, bulbs, sensors and a decent network do most of the useful work and come with you when you move.
Is a smart home a security system?
No. Cameras and sensors are useful, but this is not monitored security and we won't pretend a doorbell camera prevents anything.
What about privacy?
It is a whole program. We go through what each device collects, what stays local, and the state rules about recording audio and neighbors.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contract, no minimum term. Access stays open until the end of the month you already paid for.
Tired of three apps and no routine?
