About Solomon Matters

Expertise that matters

Solomon Matters is a smart home and home automation consultancy founded by Eric Solomon, built for electricians, home builders, and homeowners who want technology done right the first time.

Eric has spent decades in the smart home industry — as an implementer building and integrating real systems in real homes, as a cloud architect designing the infrastructure that makes those systems reliable, and as a technology reviewer evaluating the products flooding the market so clients don't have to guess which ones hold up. That combination is rare: most people in this industry have done one of those things. Eric has done all three, which means the recommendations you get aren't theoretical — they're informed by what actually works in the field, what holds up under real-world use, and what's worth the investment.

That experience is the foundation of Solomon Matters. Electricians and builders get a technical partner who can spec low-voltage and automation systems correctly before the walls close, without adding installation overhead to their own scope. Homeowners get straight, vendor-neutral advice on what will actually serve the way they live — not just what's newest or most heavily marketed.

The name is a small nod to the industry itself: Matter is the connectivity standard reshaping how smart home devices talk to each other, and getting a home's technology right is work that genuinely matters. Both meanings apply here.
