We design, build and care for smart homes on the open Home Assistant platform — built around your solar, battery and EV, with everything owned by you from day one.
Three core packages — and we integrate the devices you already own, because we're not here to sell you new boxes.
Your setup, professionally finished — automations that actually work, dashboards the whole family uses, backups you can trust.
Home Assistant Green, pre-configured on our bench, shipped or installed — a clean, simple start on the open platform.
Mini-PC build for serious homes — cameras, energy optimisation, whole-home dashboards, room to grow. The build our demonstration home runs on.
Building a new home? The cheapest smart home is planned before the plaster goes on — ask about our New Build Smart-Home Blueprint. Bringing your own hardware, or want a fully custom build? We do those too.
All options →Exporting your solar at a few cents, then buying it back at peak rates after sunset? Let's fix that. Hot water when the sun shines, the EV charging in the cheapest window, the battery covering the evening peak — that's your bill going down every month.
How energy optimisation works →Fair question. Here's exactly how it works — every promise backed by a written procedure, not a vibe.
Admin account, hardware and data are yours from day one. We hold a service login you can revoke anytime. No lock-in, ever.
SOP: least privilege · separate accountsHome Assistant runs locally, in your house. No cloud required — it keeps working even when the internet is down.
Local-first architectureWe never open ports. Maintenance runs over an encrypted private network; your own app access uses Home Assistant's official encrypted cloud.
No port-forwarding ruleRemote access is authorised in writing, used for scheduled maintenance and your requests, and every change is logged. We don't watch cameras, track comings and goings, or browse your history — and your data is never sold or shared, full stop.
SOP Part B · change log · Privacy Act 1988Nothing gets touched without a verified backup and a rollback path — the same discipline used on critical infrastructure.
The golden ruleLeave anytime: we hand over every credential, give you a final backup, and permanently remove our own access.
SOP Part H · offboardingEverything we build runs on Home Assistant — the world's largest open-source smart home platform, trusted by over 2 million households and run by a non-profit foundation, which means it can never be sold, acquired or discontinued by a boardroom decision.
Over 1,500 integrations — Philips Hue next to IKEA, Tesla next to Sungrow. One app, every brand speaking to each other.
Not "on at 6pm" timers — real logic. Lights that know whether anyone's home. Hot water that waits for your solar.
Usage tracking, solar optimisation and tariff-aware planning are core platform features — and our specialty.
Local data · works offline · zero platform subscriptions — covered in "Your home, your data, your keys" above.
