We make smart homes that actually work

NextTek is a Latvian smart home company. We handle everything — consultation, design, installation, and ongoing support — so you don't have to become a tech expert.

Why we started

A smart home should make life easier - not become a project. But for most homeowners, the journey from wanting a smart home to having one is confusing: too many products, unclear pricing, and nobody local to trust with the installation. We started NextTek to change that. We use open-source technology and brand-agnostic devices, so your home isn't locked into one vendor's ecosystem. We publish real prices. We show real projects. And we're here long after installation day.

NextTek was founded when three specialists joined forces with a shared goal — to make smart home and building technology useful in everyday life. We work with open technology and brand-agnostic devices so your home is not locked into one manufacturer’s ecosystem.

We publish real prices, show real projects, and stay available after installation day. Solutions can be implemented in new builds and existing buildings alike — step by step, without unnecessary rework.

What sets us apart

Four things we build every project on.

Technology that disappears

We make complex systems invisible. Your home just works — lights respond, temperatures adjust, doors lock — without you thinking about it.

Local team, real projects

We're based in Latvia and we show our work. Real case studies with real budgets. No stock photos, no vague promises.

Built for your home

Every home is different. We design systems around your space, your habits, and your priorities — not a one-size-fits-all package.

One partner, start to finish

From the first consultation to ongoing support, you work with one team. No subcontractors, no handoffs, no finger-pointing.
