Smart Devices & Automation
Smart devices and automation put control, convenience, and peace of mind in your hands—at home or at your business. From scheduling appliances and automating blinds to hands-free voice routines and monitoring your property on the go, we
design and install systems built for how people live and work today. All installations are licensed, discreet, and explained simply—no jargon or headaches.
At a glance (why smart?):
- Convenient app & voice control for lights, climate, doors, cameras, and more.
- Custom routines (e.g. “morning,” “goodnight,” “holiday” modes).
- Energy savings through automation and scheduling.
- Improved security & safety alerts (motion, smoke, water leak notifications).
- Remote monitoring and management (wherever you are).
- Add value and comfort without major rewiring.
How Smart Automation Helps
Lighting & Outlets
Set schedules or let presence sensors turn things on and off. Dim lights for movie night, or set the kitchen to bright for meal prep—all from your phone, a wall switch, or voice.
Climate & Comfort
Automate heating and cooling. Schedule temperature drops at night or have the home warm before you wake up. Smart sensors keep conditions comfortable, efficient, and responsive.
Locks, Garages & Access
Hands-free entry with smart locks and geofencing—no more searching for keys.
Enable one-time codes for guests or deliveries, and track who’s come and gone in the app.
Cameras, Alarms & Intercoms
Smart notifications alert you to movement, visitors, or unexpected events. Interact with delivery drivers, let in guests remotely, and view camera feeds from anywhere for peace of mind.
Blinds, Curtains & Scenes
Automate for sunrise, sunset, or when you’re away. Per-room and grouped control in one app. Set “movie,” “entertaining,” or “holiday” scenes at the tap of a button.
Smart Security Cameras
Keep eyes on your property—inside or out—with reliable, app-connected cameras.
Smart cameras provide live viewing, movement alerts, and event history, all accessible from your phone or tablet. They can send instant notifications if movement, noise, or unusual activity is detected, and you can check in on deliveries, family, or pets even when you’re away.
Options include discreet wall- or ceiling-mount styles and wired or wireless setups to suit every space.
Features:
- High-definition video (clear images day or night).
- Live and recorded video viewing from anywhere.
- Motion, sound, and specific-person alerts.
- Two-way voice to answer visitors or warn off intruders.
- Video clips stored locally or in the cloud for easy review.
Smart “Puks”: Discreet In-wall Automation

How they help:
- Maintain your home’s style—no change to wall switches or power points.
- Add app and voice control, timers, and scheduling to existing circuits.
- Works for lights, fans, appliances, or garage doors.
- Most models have energy monitoring so you can track usage right from your phone.
- Future-proof and modular—expand automation room by room.
FAQs
Will I need all new wiring or renovations?
Usually not. Many devices retrofit into existing switches/points. We recommend solutions that suit your space, wiring, and needs.
What can I control with my phone or voice?
Most lighting, power, heating/cooling, locks, blinds, and cameras—customised to the platforms you use.
What if the internet drops out?
Critical controls (like lights and locks) can still be used at the switch; many systems run locally and just use the net for remote access.
Is everything secure?
We use proper security protocols and guide you in setting strong passwords and two-factor authentication for remote features.
Can I start small and expand later?
Yes—modular systems let you start with key areas (like the front door or living space) and add more automation over time.
