What We Don't Cover
Please note that House by Intent focuses on integration logic and system design rather than product reviews or troubleshooting specific consumer devices. For gadget-specific support, we recommend reaching out directly to manufacturers or visiting product-focused forums.
Response Time
We typically respond to inquiries within 3-5 business days. During busy project periods or when Blake is traveling for consultations, responses may take up to one week. Complex technical questions may require additional time to provide the thorough, experience-based answers that House by Intent is known for.
If your inquiry is time-sensitive, please mention this in your subject line, and we'll do our best to prioritize accordingly.
