Energy optimisation — our flagship

Stop exporting cheap.
Stop importing expensive.

Smart homes that cut real dollars from your energy bill — designed, built and cared for on the open Home Assistant platform, around your solar, battery and EV. Everything owned by you from day one.

Most solar homes give power away at a few cents, then buy it back at peak rates after sunset. A properly automated home flips that — every day, automatically, without you thinking about it.

How the energy flows

One picture your power company
never shows you

Home Assistant's energy dashboard shows exactly where every kilowatt goes, live — sun to house, sun to battery, battery to evening, and how little you're buying from the grid.

SOLAR 9.2 kW GRID 0.0 kW YOUR HOME 1.1 kW house load BATTERY 84% EV CHARGING 7.0 kW export (excess only) charge for evening only when needed
A sunny-day snapshot from our demonstration home: the sun runs the house, fills the battery and charges the car — grid untouched.
SPEC NOTE: in Squarespace, replace with a screen-recording of the real HA energy-distribution view, or keep this original diagram as a code block

Know where it goes

Consumption, production and flow — at a glance, live and historical. No more guessing what the bill will say.

Catch the greedy appliances

Per-device energy tracking shows exactly which appliance is quietly costing you money — old fridges and pool pumps rarely survive this view.

Track real dollars, not just kilowatts

Your actual tariff — flat, time-of-use, or wholesale plans like Amber — priced into every chart, so savings show up in currency, not jargon. Wholesale users: price-spike automations are where this gets genuinely fun.

Vendor agnostic, no lock-in: if your meter, inverter or plug can share its data, we can bring it in — regardless of brand.

Proof, not promises

Our demonstration home is the case study

A real Melbourne home runs everything below, today: solar, battery, EV charging, hot water and climate — all coordinated by Home Assistant, refined over years of daily use.

Climate control & automation

Heating and cooling is roughly half your bill.
It's also the biggest win.*

Most homes run climate on one thermostat, one static temperature, whether anyone's home or not. An automated home runs it like a system — and the difference shows up on the bill every quarter.

Per-room climate control: individual air conditioning temperatures for each bedroom, office and theatre room, with Eco mode on
Room-by-room climate in our demonstration home — every zone with its own reading, live

Reads the weather, not just the room

Live Bureau of Meteorology data for your suburb is built into the automation — outside temperature and the day's forecast drive the decisions: pre-heating before a cold snap, pre-cooling on solar before a scorcher, easing off when the weather's doing the work.

Set temperatures that move with your day

Dynamic schedules instead of one static number — warmer for the morning routine, relaxed while you're out, comfortable by the time you're home, dialled back for sleep.

Every room gets a say

Low-cost Zigbee sensors (around $20–30 a room) give each room its own reading, so zones respond to real conditions — not one hallway thermostat's opinion.

Only condition occupied rooms

Presence and motion sensors tell the system which rooms are actually in use. Empty rooms stop costing you money — one of the simplest savings available.

Works with your ducted zones

AirTouch, MyAir, iZone, Actron and Advantage Air zone controllers integrate directly — your existing ducted system gets smarter without replacing a thing. Splits and multi-splits too.

Comfort first, savings follow

None of this means shivering to save money. The house is simply conditioned where and when it matters — most households end up more comfortable, for less.

*All automations depend on your specific device models and their available integrations — we confirm exactly what's possible with your equipment, honestly, at quote time.

Solar Sharer ready

Free midday power is coming.
Most homes can't use it.

The government's Solar Sharer offer gives eligible homes free electricity in the middle of the day — but only automated homes can actually shift their hot water, EV charging and appliances into that window. That's exactly what we build.
