How We Approach Smart Homes
Design that fits your life
We start with your lifestyle and routines, then design a system that feels natural.
Cool features, no confusion
Smart homes don’t have to be complicated. We’ll show you what’s possible and make sure everything is easy to use without a manual (or a teenager).
Built beautifully
We design systems that blend with your home’s style — from understated to elegant controls — so it feels intentional, not industrial.

Talk to a real person.
We’ll sit down (in person or virtually) to hear what you’re looking for and help you figure out the best setup.
02.
Get a clear plan.
We’ll put together a tailored plan and quote. For bigger setups, we may do a site visit or review your floorplan to get it right.

Say go, and we’ll make it happen.
Once you’ve decided what you want, we handle the install, setup, and support — so it works great from day one.

Can you customize a system to fit my needs?<br />
Absolutely. Every setup is built around you. We listen to your goals and look at your situation to build a system that meets your unique needs and budget.
What makes your company different from others?
Since 1988, we’ve been helping Nebraskans create smarter, safer spaces. We’re known for combining high-quality smart tech with personal, local service. It’s not just about the gear — it’s about how it fits your life and who’s there when you need help.
What does the installation process look like?
First, we review the plan you created with your LAE advisor. Then our in-house technicians bring it to life. They’ll install and configure everything, walk you through how it works, and make sure you feel confident using it.
After that, we’re still here. If you have a question or want to tweak something down the road, our support team knows your setup and is ready to help.
Do you use your own technicians or subcontractors?
Always our own team. Our trained, local technicians handle every install. That way, you get consistent quality, thoughtful workmanship, and people who actually care about doing it right.
Can I use my existing equipment?
You don’t always need to start from scratch. We’ll take a look at your current system and see what we can reuse. If an upgrade makes more sense, we’ll make sure it’s the right fit (and worth your investment).
Do you offer maintenance or service plans?
Yep. We’re here for the long haul. Our support plan options cover everything from simple questions to system upgrades. You’ll always get direct access to our local Client Support Team. They can often solve issues remotely without needing a technician to stop by.
Is there a warranty on equipment and installation?
Yes. All equipment and installation come with a 1-year LAE-backed warranty.
Some products are covered even longer — just ask if you’re curious about a specific one.
If I refer a friend to LAE…what’s in it for me?
When your friend signs up, you get three months of free service. You’re helping them get great security, and saving a little extra yourself.
Can I control my system from my phone?
Absolutely. You can check in from your phone, tablet, computer, or even your smartwatch. With platforms like Alarm.com, you can arm or disarm, adjust settings, and see what’s happening — all from one simple app, wherever you are.
What smart devices can you integrate?
The question is: what devices can we not integrate? We design systems that bring your tech together in one smooth experience, from locks and lights to thermostats, speakers, sensors, and more. If you’ve got something specific in mind, we’ll let you know what’s possible and how to make it work.
Will it work with Alexa, Google, or Apple Home?
Yes. Our systems play nicely with voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit (when supported).
What can a smart home do for you?
With the right setup, your system can do a whole lot more than beep when the door opens. It can make each day easier, safer, and a little more convenient.
