AI & Smart Automation for Saskatoon Homes and Businesses

KeenAi One is the platform every system we install runs on. Instead of a lighting app, a camera app, a thermostat app and a lock app that ignore each other, you get one system that treats them as parts of the same building.

It runs on a hub installed on site. That matters for two reasons: it keeps working when your internet does not, and it means you are not renting access to your own home. The hardware is yours, and so are the recordings.

This is the most-searched question in the category, and most companies dodge it. Canadian cost guides put a basic setup — smart lighting, a thermostat and voice control — at roughly $1,000–$3,000, a mid-range system with lighting zones, locks and sensors at about $3,000–$7,000, and a fully integrated home with lighting, HVAC, cameras and entertainment at $10,000–$15,000 or more (HomeStars, Angi, HomeAdvisor, 2026). Installers commonly charge $50–$150 an hour and $75–$300 for the initial assessment.

Your KeenAI assessment is free, and you get a fixed quote for your actual property before any work begins. We don’t publish package prices because an honest number depends on your house, not on a web page.

Not with us — not to run your home or view your own cameras. You own the hardware and the recordings, and the system works without anyone’s cloud.

Some individual third-party services still charge their own fees if you choose to add them. We tell you which ones before you buy, not after.

Automations, schedules, lighting, heating and lock responses keep running, because they execute on hardware inside your house rather than on a server elsewhere. What pauses is remote access from outside the home and notifications to your phone; both resume by themselves when the connection returns.

In a Saskatchewan winter that distinction matters more than it does in a mild climate.

Yes, and it is the main reason people call us. Proprietary platforms tie you to one dealer for the life of the system. If you fall out with them, your options narrow sharply.

We build on open standards, so your system can be serviced by any competent professional. Not being locked in is a feature, not a compromise.

Usually, yes. Half-finished and abandoned systems are common. The platform we build on supports a very wide range of devices, so most existing equipment can be brought into one system rather than replaced.

Anything that genuinely cannot be integrated is identified at the free assessment, before you spend anything.

Yes. Commercial work is where the company started: network, server and IT infrastructure, security cameras and surveillance, access control and door entry, smart HVAC and indoor air quality, building management, and water leak detection with automatic shut-off.

The approach is the same as residential — one system rather than four that do not talk, and no inbound access into your network from outside.

Often, yes. Several Canadian insurers — including Allstate, Aviva, Intact and RSA — offer reduced premiums for homes with a flow-interrupting leak system, and discounts are typically quoted at 2–15% per device or category. Desjardins runs a program that supplies a leak-and-freeze sensor to customers.

The honest caveat: these systems are still relatively new to Canadian underwriting, so there is no single guaranteed figure. Ask your own broker what your insurer allows, and we’ll provide documentation of what was installed.

The ones we install are chosen on that assumption. Anything mounted outdoors is rated for the temperature range and installed accordingly. Indoors, the bigger risk is a heating failure while you are away, which is why freeze alerts and temperature floors are part of how we design a system rather than something sold as an add-on.

Yes, and most owners are told otherwise. Baseboards run on line voltage, so the low-voltage smart thermostats sold in big-box stores physically will not work on them. Line-voltage smart thermostats do exist, and they give you per-room scheduling and remote control.

It is one of the most useful and least known upgrades available in older Saskatchewan homes.

We do. KeenAI is locally owned in Saskatoon, and the person who installs your system is the person who answers when you call. Electrical work is carried out by licensed contractor partners, and we will always tell you which parts of a job those are.

At handover, documentation and credentials go in your name.
