Smart homes and buildings you own. Not rent.
No subscription to run it
No subscription to see your own cameras or run your home. Monitoring — for police and fire dispatch and insurance credit — is a separate, optional service, and we’ll tell you honestly when it’s worth it.
No proprietary lock-in
Built on open standards, not a closed system that ties you to one vendor or one dealer forever. Any competent professional can service what we install.
Private, and it works offline
Automations and recordings run on hardware in your building, not in someone else’s cloud. The internet drops; your home stays smart.
One platform under everything we install
Every KeenAi system runs on KeenAi One: one app, one set of rules and one hub on site, instead of seven apps that ignore each other. The same core runs a family home today — and we’re bringing it to apartment buildings, offices and clinics.
The whole house on one screen
- Lights, climate, locks, cameras, music and water as parts of one home.
- Scenes like Good morning and Welcome home that set the whole house at once.
- On the wall, on your phone, or by asking. The same app everywhere.
The whole building on one screen
- Entry, water, cameras and the network at a glance, with what needs attention first.
- Events in plain words: which suite, which door, what the system already did.
- Every system keeps its own platform underneath, so nothing depends on one screen.
A hub on site
Your system runs on a hub in your building, so it keeps working through an internet outage.
One app, every system
Lights, climate, locks, cameras, audio and water as parts of one place, not seven apps.
An assistant you can ask
Ask by voice or by text. KeenAi shows you its plan, then does it when you confirm.
Safety stays with rules
Locks, alarms and the water valve run on fixed rules and your own taps, never on AI alone.
Demo home, in 3D
Walk through a home you can talk to
Six stops, about a minute and a half. The house is an illustration; every phone screen in the tour is the real KeenAi One app running our demo home.

What it looks like on an ordinary day
Intelligence isn’t a screen full of buttons. It’s the things that happen without you having to think about them — and the ones that get handled before they become a problem.
A delivery at the front door
The doorbell camera shows who’s there before you reach the door, and the same app confirms every lock is closed once they’ve gone.
Security cameras & locksA pipe lets go
A sensor feels the water and the valve shuts it off before anyone is awake. Then your phone is told what happened and what was already done.
Water leak protectionThe house gets ready for evening
Blinds lower, lights warm up and the heat steps back on a schedule that follows the sun, not a timer someone set years ago.
Lighting & shadesA resident drives into the parkade
A fob or a phone opens the gate, and every entry is logged with its camera clip — for the board, not for a box of keys.

Platforms & systems we work with
KeenAi One is built on open standards, so it brings in what you already own instead of replacing it. The platform underneath supports more than 1,500 device integrations. These are a few of the brands and standards it works with.
Brand names and logos are trademarks of their owners, shown for compatibility. This is not a claim of dealer or partner status.
Four things most of the industry won’t offer you
- Most systems bill you monthly
You own it outright
The hardware is yours and so are the recordings. Nothing about running your own home or watching your own cameras sits behind a subscription.
- Most systems live in the cloud
It works when the internet doesn’t
The hub runs in your building. Lights, locks, heating and schedules keep working through an outage, because they were never depending on a server somewhere else.
- Most installers lock you in
Open standards, not a walled garden
We build on open protocols, so you’re not tied to one brand’s ecosystem — and we can take over or finish a system somebody else started.
- Most companies hand you to a call centre
The person who installed it answers
Locally owned in Saskatoon. Documentation and credentials go in your name at handover, so the system is yours to keep, extend or hand to anyone else.
Installed cleanly, handed over properly
From a full network, server, camera and access fit-out for Eye Surgeons of Regina to intercoms for multi-unit buildings in Saskatoon, the standard is the same: one system, every cable labelled, and documentation in your name.
In their words
We had KeenAI do the whole house in Saskatoon — garage door, entry locks and door access, the Nest doorbell and intercom, motion and door sensors, Lutron lighting, and leak sensors with an automatic shut-off valve. What actually changed day to day is that it’s all one system on their platform instead of eight different apps: I can see who’s at the door, buzz someone in, open the garage for a delivery, and check everything’s locked — all from the same place. And if a pipe ever lets go, the water shuts itself off before it’s a disaster. Clean install, and John made sure we knew how to use it before he left.
We had a modern intercom system installed at our multi-unit building through Keenai. The quality of the hardware and workmanship is outstanding. Residents love being able to buzz guests in from their phones. The Keenai crew was professional, efficient, and cleaned up perfectly after the job. We’ve already referred them to two other property managers.
We had Keenai install a full security camera and access control system at our office building. From the first consultation to final walkthrough, the team was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. They explained every step clearly and finished ahead of schedule. We finally feel secure knowing exactly who’s coming and going. Highly recommend!
Keenai set up our centralized network and internet system across our entire property. The coverage is flawless — no dead zones, no lag. Their team took the time to understand how we use our space and designed a solution that fits perfectly. Clean installation, zero mess left behind. Five stars without hesitation.

Straight answers to the questions people actually ask
What is KeenAi One?
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 doesn’t, and it means you’re not renting access to your own home. The hardware is yours, and so are the recordings.
How much does a smart home system cost?
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.
Do smart home systems require a monthly subscription?
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.
What happens to my smart home when the internet goes out?
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.
Is there an alternative to Control4 or other proprietary systems?
Yes, and it’s 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.
Can you take over a smart home system somebody else installed?
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 can’t be integrated is identified at the free assessment, before you spend anything.
Do you work with businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Commercial work is where the company started: network, server and IT infrastructure, security cameras, access control and intercoms, HVAC and indoor air quality, building management, and water leak detection for multi-unit buildings.
The approach is the same as residential — one system rather than four that don’t talk, and no inbound access into your network from outside.
Does a water leak detection system lower my home insurance?
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’s no single guaranteed figure. Ask your own broker what your insurer allows, and we’ll provide documentation of what was installed.
Do smart home devices work in −40 °C?
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’re 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.
Can electric baseboard heating be made smart?
Yes, and most owners are told otherwise. Baseboards run on line voltage, so the low-voltage smart thermostats sold in big-box stores physically won’t work on them. Line-voltage smart thermostats do exist, and they give you per-room scheduling and remote control.
It’s one of the most useful and least known upgrades available in older Saskatchewan homes.
Who actually does the installation?
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’ll always tell you which parts of a job those are.
At handover, documentation and credentials go in your name.
