Why Silver Oak Technologies

We don't just sell smart devices. We build smart homes.

Any shop can sell you a smart bulb. The difference is the design, installation, configuration and support that turns individual devices into a home that actually works together — and keeps working.

About Silver Oak →
01

Tailored to your home & life

We start with a detailed consultation — how you live, what matters most, which rooms come first. You pay for what you need, not a generic box set.

Works with Google, Alexa & Apple

All systems are compatible with the platforms you already use. No proprietary lock-in. Add a new device from any manufacturer and it joins the same ecosystem.

Retrofit into any existing home

You don't need to be building from scratch. Most smart upgrades — bulbs, cameras, sensors — install in hours with no major electrical work in any existing Kenyan home.

04

Professional installation & full training

Certified technicians configure every automation, set up every app, and train everyone in your household until they're genuinely comfortable. We don't hand you a manual.

Wi-Fi changes. Family members need adding. New devices join the system. Our support line is open to all clients, forever — most issues resolved remotely in minutes.

06

Designed for Kenya's reality

What our clients say — Kenyan homeowners & businesses

★★★★★

"I can control every light, lock the front door, check all four cameras and open the gate — from one app in the office. My family feels so much safer. Silver Oak handled everything professionally and set up all the automations. Game changer."

James Kamau
Homeowner · Karen, Nairobi
★★★★★

"We had Silver Oak install smart lighting and a full security system at our office. Motion-triggered lights reduced our electricity bill significantly. The CCTV integrates directly with our phones — fast, reliable alerts. Excellent technical team."

Amina Hassan
Office Manager · Westlands, Nairobi
★★★★★

"I bought a ZKTeco fingerprint lock and booked installation. Technician arrived on time, set everything up, registered all fingerprints and configured the app. The after-sales WhatsApp support has been fantastic — they helped me add new users months later."

Common Questions

Smart home FAQ — Kenya

The questions most people ask before starting. If yours isn't here — call or WhatsApp and we'll answer in plain English, no jargon.

Ask a Question →
Costs range widely depending on what you're automating. A single smart bulb starts from KSh 1,500. A starter package (smart lighting + basic security) costs from KSh 45,000 installed. A comprehensive system with CCTV, smart lighting, gate automation and smart locks runs KSh 120,000–280,000. You can start with one room and expand gradually — our systems are designed to grow with you. We'll give you a free, itemised quote for your specific home.
No — for most smart home upgrades, no rewiring is required. Smart bulbs replace your existing bulbs in existing fittings. Smart cameras and sensors are wireless. Smart plugs plug into existing sockets. Smart switches can usually fit existing wall boxes. We retrofit smart devices into existing Kenyan homes every week — it typically takes hours, not days, and most clients don't even need an electrician.
Yes — with the right setup. Smart cameras with SD cards keep recording locally without internet. Gate motors include battery backup as standard — 8–12 hours without KPLC. Smart devices connected to a UPS continue working normally. We design every system with Kenya's power reality specifically in mind — not as an afterthought.
We configure systems to work with Google Home, Tuya Smart Life, or Amazon Alexa — depending on your preference. Most devices use the Tuya platform, which integrates with all three. This means you can also use voice commands: "Hey Google, turn off all lights" or "Alexa, arm the security system." We set up and configure the apps on your phones during installation.
Yes — this is one of the biggest advantages of the Tuya/Google Home ecosystem we use. Every new compatible device you add simply joins your existing ecosystem through the same app. No new hubs or controllers needed. Start with one room and expand room by room, year by year, without replacing what you've already installed. The system grows with you.
Yes — we install across Kenya, including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kiambu, Nanyuki, Machakos and beyond. Products can also be ordered from our online shop and delivered nationwide — with optional professional installation booking at the same time. Contact us to discuss your location.
