It’s been a little quiet here, but Coyote Ridge Techworks has been moving.
I’ve been working behind the scenes on a new tool called Rook Smart Home Diagnostic Assistant — an AI-assisted support tool designed to help people troubleshoot smart home and connected-device issues.
Rook can help turn problems like:
• “My camera is offline”
• “My smart lock won’t respond”
• “My smart devices won’t reconnect after a router change”
• “My motion sensor keeps triggering false alerts”
into a structured diagnostic report with likely causes, next steps, safety notes, and escalation guidance.
It can also create a support ticket so Coyote Ridge Techworks can follow up when someone needs hands-on help.
This is still an early working prototype, but it’s live and functional now:

Coyote Ridge Techworks is focused on practical tech support, smart home troubleshooting, automation, security-conscious setups, and helping regular people make sense of the devices they rely on every day.
More updates coming soon.
