Become a iTAPDN installer

iTAPDN is the voice and the brain. A licensed electrician is the hands. The Certified Installer Textbook teaches the practical middle — how the control wiring is actually run, why each choice is the safe one, and how to prove the job before you leave the site.

The one rule that never bends

Every light, lock, drape, door and motor must still work by hand with iTAPDN, the network and the node completely dead.
