What is smart home automation?

Imagine having a universal remote to control the everyday tasks of your home no matter where you are. Smart home automation allows you to centrally control the lighting, heating, audio, visual and security of your home with one-touch technology.

‍

What can I control with home automation?

• Check to see if you’ve left your garage door open (again)

• Answer the door from anywhere in the world and lock your door without a key

• Warm the house when you leave work

• Water your plants while you’re on vacation

• Get smoke and fire alarm notifications

• Monitor everything from your phone or tablet device

• Control your home security alarm and gate

• Control your lights, blinds and curtains

• Home theatre

• See how the dog is doing

Do I have to make my whole house a smart home?

No. We can scale home automation to suit your needs. So if you’re only after automating your family room with a TV and surround sound system, it’s easily done. It also means that you can build on any extra features you might want for your home in the future.

We also install home theatres along with automating them. To find out more, click here.

How much does it cost to turn my home into a smart home?

Getting home automation is like purchasing a car. There are many options available and the price can change drastically depending on how automated you want your home to be. Our electricians work with the size of your home to design and implement the best home automation system that works for you.

‍

What smart home systems do you install?

We can install any smart technology system of your choice. Whether you are after Raspberry Pi, Control4 or Savant system, we can install and implement the system in your home. If you are not sure which system is the best for your home, our electricians can provide a recommendation based on your requirements and budget.

‍

Will you need to punch holes in my wall to set up home automation?

We take great care when wiring and make every effort to not make holes in your walls. However, if we have to make a small opening, our electricians will always ask you first.

‍

How long does home automation take to set up?

Generally, installation can take anywhere between one to three weeks, although some projects can take longer. Until you understand every aspect of your home automation system, our job is not finished.

‍

Can smart-home technology work for my business?

Absolutely. Automating conference systems, audio for your building, smart TV’s, security and surveillance are all possible from one interface.

‍

Can I install a home automation system myself?

Automating a home can be quite complex. Not all systems are compatible with each other. Your security system may require you to log into one platform to manage settings while your thermostat may require you to log into another platform to turn the heating on/off.
