Starting fresh
Start with one room. Build over time.
Tell us how your household runs and what you'd like to spend now and later. We recommend devices that work together, set up the routines you'll use, and plan the next steps so early purchases still fit.
Sound familiar?
I don't want to spend a fortune upfront.
We plan it in stages. You start with what matters most, and we make sure it fits what you add later.
I want it to work for the whole family.
Switches on the wall, voice control and sensible defaults, so it doesn't depend on one person's phone. We show everyone how it works.
The heating gets left on when nobody's in.
We look at your heating system, your routine and who's home, then set schedules and controls to match.
I want the house to look lived in when I'm away.
Lights and blinds follow a realistic pattern while you're out, set up with privacy in mind.

Who it's for
Curious homeowners
You like the idea but don't know where to begin. We start with one room and show you how it works.
Gradual upgraders
You want a high-end result on a budget you can manage. We plan it in stages.
Busy households
Too many small things to remember each day. We set up arrival, bedtime, energy and security routines.
Family and accessibility
Someone at home could use simpler controls and gentle prompts. We fit easy switches, voice control, night lighting and the right alerts.
What we'll ask you
Seven questions we ask every home before recommending anything.
- Which devices and brands are already installed?So we can reuse working equipment and spot compatibility limits.
- Which voice assistant, app or phone do you prefer?It decides how you'll control everything day to day.
- Who else needs to control the home?So nothing depends on a single phone or account.
- What must still work without the internet?So there's a safe manual way to do it.
- What's the budget now, and maybe later?So we can plan in stages and you don't buy things too early.
- Who owns the property and can agree to the work?It sets what we can fit, monitor and change.
- Who gets the alerts, and who acts on them?An alert nobody acts on doesn't help.
Questions people ask
Will it work with Siri, Google or Alexa?
We plan around the one you prefer, and keep more than one where that helps your household. Some devices only support some features on some platforms, so we check each device and the exact actions you want before we promise them.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Lights, locks and heating keep a manual way to use them, such as a switch, a key or the controls on the wall. Before handover we test what keeps working without the internet, and tell you.
Will smart controls cut my energy bills?
They can help cut waste, like heating an empty house or leaving things on standby. We don't promise savings, because they depend on your home and habits. Where your devices report energy use, we'll show you where to find it.
