Professional smart monitoring systems for small businesses, rental properties, and homeowners. Open hardware. Local control. No cloud subscriptions. No lock-in.
Highline Tech MT is a Helena-based smart monitoring service built on open hardware and custom software. We install, configure, and support professional-grade monitoring systems for clients who want reliability without recurring cloud fees.
We're documenting the build in public -- the hardware choices, the configuration process, and the software we're developing -- so you can follow along and decide whether you want to hire us or do it yourself.
PoE cameras hardwired through managed switches. Local recording, no subscription, no cloud. Reliable because wires don't drop packets.
Temperature, humidity, leak detection, door and window sensors. Zigbee mesh network. Works when Wi-Fi goes down.
Z-Wave thermostats, valve actuators, and smart plugs. Automated responses -- leak detected, valve closes. Presence detected, climate adjusts.
Monitoring, alerting, and reporting built on Home Assistant. Purpose-built for professional use -- not a hobbyist interface.
We handle the configuration complexity so you don't have to. Ongoing support for the systems we install.
Not sure what you need? We'll assess your space and recommend a system that fits your goals and budget.
Follow along as we build the service from scratch.
