Smart Home @ Home
WHENyou're setting up at home→THENwe recommend, install & automate
From a first smart plug to a whole-house Home Assistant setup: recommendations, installation and troubleshooting. Plugs and bulbs, power monitoring, heating, automations, security, voice assistants — the whole range, matched to what you actually want out of it.
Smart Home @ Work
WHENyour business has a tricky problem→THENsmart automation solves it
Smart tech isn't just for homes. We've fitted hospitality and retail with smart lighting for setting the mood, integrated music, smart plugs for hard-to-reach spots, and full point-of-sale systems. We've designed office systems too, including meeting-room management. The right automation gives a small business a real edge.
Networking
STATEa stable network→ISthe foundation for everything else
A solid network is the key to any smart-home deployment. We favour UniFi for switches and Wi-Fi and OPNsense for firewalls. With a mini PC or VM running Proxmox you can host Home Assistant, your firewall and your network controller on one small box — 100% local. For smaller setups, a Raspberry Pi 4 with an SSD runs Home Assistant happily.
Hardware & Software Advice
WHENyou're choosing kit→THENhub first, then mix & match
We're not tied to one brand. Get the right hub in place — Alexa or Home Assistant — and you can mix and match on compatibility from there. We suggest a cheap dedicated Android tablet (the Nokia T10 is a current favourite) to keep all the apps off your phone and run a wall dashboard, plus physical buttons like Aqara and Flic for people who'd rather not reach for an app.
Remote Support
WHENsomething's misbehaving→THENwe remote in and fix it
Using our own remote-support platform on dedicated infrastructure, we can often diagnose and fix smart-home issues without a visit — saving you time, money and the trip. We can always come onsite when it's needed, but frequently it isn't.
