Smart Doorbell Wiring: Future-Proofing Your Home’s Entryway

At Royalty Custom Homes, we believe your home should be ready for the technology of today—and tomorrow. That’s why we wire all our homes for smart doorbells, giving you flexibility to choose the system that fits your lifestyle while future-proofing your entryway.

Why Wiring for a Smart Doorbell Matters

Smart doorbells typically require both power and chime wires. By including this wiring in our standard electrical setup, we ensure that you can easily install any smart doorbell you choose.

Even if you prefer a traditional push-button doorbell, the power wire can simply be capped and left unused—so your home is ready for either option. This approach ensures:

  • Flexibility to upgrade to smart technology at any time

  • Seamless integration of modern doorbell features without rewiring

  • A clean, professional setup whether you choose traditional or smart


Installation Options

While the smart doorbell unit itself is not included in our package, we are happy to install it for you if you provide the unit on-site before Electrical Fixture Finals. This allows for:

  • Proper integration into your home’s wiring and chime system

  • Avoiding retrofits or messy installation later

  • Maintaining a polished, professional finish at your entryway


Top Smart Doorbell Options We Recommend

At Royalty Custom Homes, we commonly install and recommend two of the most popular smart doorbells on the market:

  • Ring Video Doorbell

    • Motion detection and real-time alerts

    • Two-way audio to speak with visitors remotely

    • Easy integration with Ring app and other smart home devices

  • Google Nest Doorbell

    • HD video and smart alerts powered by AI

    • Continuous recording with subscription plan options

    • Integrates seamlessly with Google Home and Nest devices

Both options offer modern convenience, security, and peace of mind while complementing the smart-ready wiring we provide in every Royalty Custom Home.


Planning Your Smart Doorbell

When planning your home’s entryway, consider:

  • Smart features you want – Video, motion alerts, two-way audio
