ServiceHome automation
LESS FUSS.
MORE CONTROL.
We automate homes with a focus on useful lighting, energy and home controls. Our commercial electrical and control experience helps us design systems that are practical, understandable and maintainable.
What we help with
- Help deciding what level of home automation is right for the home
- Lighting control, switching, dimming and scenes
- Integration of home automation with solar and battery systems
- Using excess solar to operate suitable household loads
- Selected heating, cooling and hot-water control
- Home-control interfaces and control-system upgrades
- Network and control infrastructure, and integration of compatible equipment
- Planning controls alongside the lighting and electrical design
What makes us different
- We take care of every part of the electrical installation
- Lighting design is part of the same job
- Solar and batteries are planned in with the build
- Our data work is ACMA-accredited
- Home automation is designed with the lighting and electrical work
- All of it handled under one roof
How we approach the work
Start with everyday use
We work out what should happen automatically and what you actually need to control. We don’t add automation for its own sake.
Choose the right level of control
We decide which functions benefit from automation and which are better left simple, looking at lighting, energy, heating and cooling and other compatible systems together.
Plan the system and infrastructure
We select the control approach and plan the wiring, networking, equipment locations and interfaces with maintenance and future changes in mind.
Relevant capabilities and platforms
We have worked with these platforms. Which one suits a project depends on the equipment and what you want it to do, so we confirm compatibility before selecting anything.
Control that remains useful
The aim is a system you can understand and operate, with sensible manual control and infrastructure that can be maintained.
- Operation that is easy to understand
- Manual control that still works sensibly
- Wiring and network infrastructure that can be maintained
- Selected integrations that solve a real need
Worth knowing
Home automation technology changes quickly, so we look at compatibility, the infrastructure behind the system, how it will be maintained and how it works by hand before we choose equipment. We agree the supported systems and any limits for your project before we select equipment.
Questions people ask
How much automation do we actually need?
Usually less than people expect. We start the design with what would improve daily life and stop there.
Can it control our solar and hot water?
Where the equipment supports it, yes: hot water, heating and cooling can follow the solar.
What happens if something breaks in five years?
We choose systems that can be maintained and updated, and we state the support boundaries up front.
Which platforms have you worked with?
C-Bus, Z-Wave, Fibaro / Nice, Pixie and Wiser. Whether one suits your project depends on the equipment and what you want it to do, so we check compatibility before recommending anything.
