Meet the Founder — Rob Skuba
Because every movement begins with a story
Innovation doesn’t start with technology.
It starts with empathy and understanding how people live.
From Smart Homes to Smarter Living
Before National Smart Home became a movement, Rob spent decades helping homeowners and integrators bridge the gap between technology and trust.
From his start in the U.S. Army maintaining critical systems under pressure — to building a 25-year career in home technology — Rob’s work has always centered on one mission:
To make life feel simpler, calmer, and more connected.
A Career Built in Every Corner of the Industry
CAVD — bringing high-end AV systems to dealers across NY.
Lutron Mid-Market Rep — helping design comfort and control across thousands of homes.
Founder, Lantern Room Marketing — creating emotionally resonant branding for integrators nationwide.
Founder, National Smart Home & Smart Home Day — uniting professionals under one mission: help homeowners love technology again.
Rob’s work has appeared in collaborations with industry icons like Theo Kalomirakis, 50 Cent’s Manhattan office project, and hundreds of real homes across the country.
Why National Smart Home Exists
When the industry forgot who it was serving — Rob built NSH to remind it.
Homeowners don’t want complexity. They want calm.
They don’t want more features. They want more *life.*
That’s why NSH speaks to homeowners first — so the right professionals naturally follow.
Beyond the Work
Outside of National Smart Home, Rob stays grounded in what matters most — family, creativity, and connection.
He’s the creator of Date Night in Stereo, a storytelling series that reminds people what home really means — not walls and Wi-Fi, but rhythm, laughter, and the people you share them with.
From hosting Theresa’s Garage Radio Show to mentoring entrepreneurs through Lantern Room Marketing, Rob’s work always circles back to one idea:
technology is only powerful when it serves the human moments behind it.
Because whether it’s a home, a brand, or a song — Rob believes everything worth building should feel like peace when you step into it.
