Future-Proof Technology Today

At 704 Consulting, we believe technology should work for you—not the other way around. Based in Cornelius, we bridge the gap between "standard IT" and the cutting edge of bespoke automation and digital fabrication.

Whether you need a reliable office network or a privacy-first smart home that functions entirely offline, we provide the technical expertise to make it happen.

Core IT Services

Reliability is the foundation of every successful system.

• Networking & Infrastructure: Managed Wi-Fi solutions, hardwired Ethernet installations, and secure firewall configurations.

• Hardware Support: Professional repair, installation, and optimization for PCs, Macs, and workstations.

• Print Services: Setup and troubleshooting for office-grade and consumer printers.

• General IT Consulting: On-demand troubleshooting and long-term technology planning for small businesses and residential clients.

The Intelligent Home: Open Standards & Local Control

Stop relying on the "Cloud" and start owning your data.

We specialize in high-end home automation built on open standards. We don't just plug in gadgets; we build ecosystems.

• Home Assistant Integration: The ultimate dashboard for your entire home. We handle the YAML so you don't have to.

• Protocol Expertise: Seamless deployment of Matter, Zigbee, and Z-Wave networks for rock-solid device reliability.

• Privacy-First Automation: Systems designed to run locally, ensuring your data stays inside your walls and your lights still work if the internet goes down.

• Energy & Utility Monitoring: Smart tracking for salt levels, water usage, and appliance efficiency.

Boutique & On-Demand Technical Solutions

If you can dream it, we can build it.

Sometimes "off-the-shelf" isn't enough. 704 Consulting offers unique services for enthusiasts and businesses looking for custom-tailored solutions.

• 3D Printer Concierge: Professional setup, calibration, and maintenance for FDM and Resin printers. We help you get that perfect first layer every time.

• Custom Electronics (ESP32 / WLED): Bespoke hardware solutions using ESP32 and ESP8266 microcontrollers. From custom LED architectural lighting to inventory tracking sensors, we design and deploy the hardware.

• Digital Fabrication: Small-batch 3D printing and custom enclosure design for specialized electronics.

• Self-Hosted Services: Setup of local storage (NAS), internal wikis, or inventory management systems using Docker and secure local tunneling.
