What We Install

Built for Gettysburg homes —
especially short-term rentals.

Vacation Rental Smart Locks
Unique PIN codes per guest — auto-expire at checkout. No physical key handoffs, no lockboxes. Manage remotely from your phone. Works on existing deadbolts in most historic doors.
Guest-Limited Thermostats
Ecobee or Nest thermostats with a guest access range — guests can adjust within your allowed window (say, 68–76°F) but can't blast AC at 60 or heat to 80. Prevents utility bill surprises.
Exterior NVR Cameras
Parking area, exterior entrance, and driveway coverage with local NVR storage — no monthly fee. Interior cameras excluded per Airbnb/VRBO policy. Footage stored on-site, viewable from your phone.
Guest WiFi Network
Separate guest WiFi VLAN so guests have internet without being on the same network as your smart home devices. Business-grade access points for reliable coverage throughout the property.
Sonos Whole-Home Audio
Guests love it — a Sonos system guests can control from their own phone. Ceiling speakers in main living areas or portable Sonos units. Resets cleanly between guests.
Smart Lighting (No Neutral Needed)
Many Gettysburg historic homes lack neutral wires in switch boxes. We spec Lutron Caseta — engineered to work without a neutral wire, rock-solid reliable, and elegant in period homes.
Why Gettysburg Is Different

Historic homes. Booming short-term rental market.

Gettysburg has one of the highest concentrations of short-term vacation rentals in central Pennsylvania. The Civil War tourism draw keeps occupancy high year-round, and many property owners are managing rentals remotely — from Lancaster, Harrisburg, or further away.

The challenge is that most Gettysburg properties are 19th or early 20th century homes not originally wired for smart home systems. Older wiring, period-appropriate switch hardware, and historic district considerations all affect what we specify and how we install it.

We've worked in similar historic housing stock throughout Lancaster County. We know how to get modern smart home systems into old buildings cleanly and without compromising the character of the home.

Vacation rental owners tell us…
They're tired of driving to Gettysburg every turnover to hand over a key
Guests are cranking heat/AC beyond what their utility bills can sustain
They have no visibility on when guests arrive or leave
Smart lights keep getting left on between guests
Old wiring means they couldn't install the switches they bought online
They want Sonos but aren't sure it works with their setup
Common Questions

What Gettysburg property owners ask us.

Can you set up a smart home system in a Gettysburg vacation rental?
Yes — this is one of our most common requests in the Gettysburg area. We install smart locks with per-guest codes (so you never hand over a physical key), exterior NVR cameras covering parking areas, Ecobee thermostats with guest-limited temperature ranges, and Sonos audio that resets between guests. Everything is manageable remotely from Lancaster or wherever you are.
Do smart locks work on older historic Gettysburg homes?
Most do. We spec smart locks compatible with the deadbolt cutout on your existing door — most 19th and early 20th century doors use standard cutouts that accept modern Schlage Encode or Yale smart locks. In rare cases where the door requires a different configuration, we identify that during our free in-person assessment before quoting anything.
Can you install smart lighting in a home with no neutral wire in the switch boxes?
Yes. Gettysburg has many pre-1950 homes built with older wiring that lacks neutral wires in switch boxes. We spec Lutron Caseta specifically for this — it's the only major smart lighting system engineered to work without a neutral wire, and it's rock-solid reliable in period homes.
How far is Gettysburg from your base in Lancaster?
About 40–45 minutes via US-30 west. We serve Gettysburg Borough, Straban Township, Cumberland Township, and the surrounding Adams County communities. No travel fee within our standard service area.
Can you set up guest WiFi separate from the property's main network?
Yes. We create a separate guest WiFi network so rental guests have internet access without being on the same network as your smart home devices and cameras. This is standard practice for any short-term rental property and keeps your devices secure regardless of who's connecting.
