How we help you

Convenience without the clutter.

  • One app or panel instead of a different app for every device
  • "Good night", "Away" and "Welcome home" scenes that run in one tap
  • Lights and shades that follow the time of day
  • Lower energy waste, because rooms are not heated or lit when empty
  • See the lock and alarm status before you leave the house
  • A reliable network behind it, so automation does not drop out

The pieces

Everything a home runs on, in one system.

Control

RTI and Control4

The brain and the touch panels, remotes and apps you use every day. We are an RTI dealer and also install Control4.

Audio

Russound and WiiM

Multi-room music and streaming, with each room controlled separately.

Lighting and shades

Switching and motors

Dimmers and relays chosen for the load, so fans, fireplaces and furnace circuits are switched properly and safely.

Security

Alarm and lock integration

Arm or check the alarm and see lock status from the same control. Works with our DSC and Qolsys alarm systems.

Access

Doors, gates and garage

Door entry, garage and gate control that fit into scenes like "Away" or "Welcome home".

Network

UniFi backbone

Automation is only as reliable as the network. We build it on the same UniFi standard we use for businesses.

We do not claim camera monitoring as a service. Cameras can sit alongside the system for viewing, and alarm monitoring is a separate service. We will explain which applies to you.

Home automation FAQ

Do I need to rebuild my home to automate it?

No. We can work with existing equipment in many homes. New builds and renovations are easier and less expensive because we can pre-wire while walls are open.

Will it keep working if the internet goes down?

Local control, such as lights and scenes, is designed to keep working. Features that rely on the cloud, such as remote access, need internet.

Can you add to an existing system?

Often, yes. We assess what you have first, then tell you honestly what can be extended and what is better replaced.

Are smart locks and mortise handlesets supported?

It depends on the lock. We check compatibility before quoting, because some locks cannot be integrated.

Can fans and furnace circuits be controlled?

Yes, with correctly rated switching. We flag these loads during the walk-through, before choosing dimmers.

Can I control it when I am away?

Yes, through the control system app, subject to the remote-access plan for your equipment.
