Home Automation

Heating & cooling efficiencies up to 60% through intelligent device communication — Solar, HVAC, Hot Water, Security, Weather. All under one local-first dashboard.

Why pair hardware with intelligence

Most installers do hardware only. We deliver the hardware plus the AI-powered control layer that actually optimises energy use over time. One dashboard. Local-first. Future-proof.

Electrification

  • HVAC: gas heating → ducted reverse-cycle with AI zone control
  • Hot water: gas storage → heat pump (VEU rebate stacks with Solar Vic + STCs)
  • Brand-agnostic recommendations — Daikin / Mitsubishi / Panasonic / Hisense, sized to your home

Solar & Battery

  • Solar sized for your real load — heat pump + EV + AC running together
  • Battery options: Tesla Powerwall / Sungrow / BYD / Sigenergy — trade-offs explained, not pushed
  • AI decides when to charge battery vs run AC vs charge EV based on solar production + electricity prices
  • Federal STC + Vic battery rebate — we handle the paperwork

Smart Security

  • PoE camera systems — Reolink, Eufy — wired for reliability, footage stored locally
  • AI-driven alerts: distinguishes a delivery driver from a loiterer, before pinging your phone
  • Active deterrence — lights, sirens, voice messages triggered by detected behaviour
  • Privacy-first: no vendor cloud required

Home Assistant + AI Layer

  • One dashboard — HVAC, hot water, solar, battery, security, lighting in one place
  • Open-source, runs on your hardware (Pi or existing PC), works without internet
  • Claude AI layer: scheduling, monthly energy reports, plain-English chat about your home
  • Voice control + mobile control — cloud optional, local always

How customers actually decide

No-one starts with one question. The chat above will walk you through whichever path fits your situation.

Path 1 — HVAC replacement

"Replacing my gas heater" → sizing → brand → zoning → ductwork → VEU rebate → sensor placement.

Path 2 — Hot water replacement

"Replacing my gas hot water" → heat pump options → sizing → noise → rebate stacking (VEU + Solar Vic + STCs).

Path 3 — Smart security

"I need cameras" → PoE vs wireless → recording → AI alerts → integration → total installed cost.

Path 4 — Solar & battery

"Should I add solar?" → sizing for your real load → battery payback → brand trade-offs → AI optimisation.

Path 5 — Home Assistant

"What is HA?" → hardware → what it controls → reliability → phone & voice control → local-first.

Path 6 — The AI layer

"How does AI fit in?" → cost → routine learning → multi-system optimisation → energy reports → intelligent security.

What every customer cares about

Cost transparency

Hardware + install + rebate = net out-of-pocket. No "from $X" headlines. Bands that match your scenario, not anyone else's.

Rebate clarity

VEU + STC + Solar Vic + federal home battery rebate. We explain how they stack and which apply to your situation.

Privacy & local control

Footage and automation logic stay on your hardware. AI integration via API is opt-in and reversible. No vendor cloud required.

Integration over fragmentation

Five different apps for solar, AC, hot water, cameras and lights? Home Assistant unifies them. AI makes them talk.

Reliability vs DIY

Turnkey "set and forget" for one customer; consultation-only roadmap for the technical DIY-er. We do both.

Future-proofing

EV-ready, battery-ready, expandable. Decisions today don't lock you into a closed ecosystem tomorrow.
