Smart Home Automation
Smart home automation designed by electricians, not gadget sellers
Smart home automation lets you control lighting, heating, cooling and appliances from your phone or tablet, and set them to run automatically. Done properly by electricians, it is wired in, reliable, and integrates with your solar, battery and EV charger so your home uses its own power first.

Is smart home automation worth it?
When it is designed around your routines and wired in properly, yes. The best results come from combining convenience (lighting and climate control) with energy savings (running loads from solar and off-peak rates).
Can I add smart control to an existing home?
Yes. Many systems retrofit without rewiring. New builds and renovations give the most options, so involve us early if you can.
Will it work with my solar and battery?
Yes. We integrate automation with Enphase, Sigenergy and EVNEX systems so appliances and EV charging prioritise your own solar.
