About Habitek
Smart home design and Home Assistant installation for Australian homes.
Our Story
Habitek was founded on a simple belief: your smart home should work for you, not report on you. In an era where "smart" devices often mean surveillance devices, we're committed to building home automation that respects your privacy.
We specialize in local-first architecture using Home Assistant as the foundation. This means your data stays in your home, your automations work even when the internet is down, and you maintain complete control over your devices.
Based in Australia, we provide comprehensive smart home services for homeowners, architects, builders, and designers. From initial consultation and system design to hardware supply and installation, we handle every aspect of your smart home project. For complex installations, we also offer professional WiFi design using Ubiquiti enterprise-grade equipment.
Our Approach
Privacy-First
We design systems that prioritize local control and minimize cloud dependencies. Your personal data should stay personal.
Practical & Maintainable
No over-engineering. We focus on proven technology, realistic budgets, and solutions you can actually maintain long-term.
Australian Expertise
Based in Australia with nationwide service capability. Remote consulting and hands-on support when you need it.
Why Home Assistant?
Home Assistant is the world's leading open-source smart home platform, and it's at the heart of every Habitek design. Here's why:
- Local Control: Runs on hardware in your home, not in the cloud. Your data never leaves your network unless you explicitly choose otherwise.
- Device Compatibility: Integrates with over 1,000 different brands and protocols - from Zigbee and Z-Wave to Wi-Fi devices and even DIY sensors.
- No Lock-In: Open-source and community-driven. You're never dependent on a single vendor or subscription service.
- Highly Customizable: Create complex automations, beautiful dashboards, and personalized experiences without programming knowledge.
- Active Development: Monthly updates, strong community support, and continuous improvements.
Whether you're tech-savvy or just getting started, Home Assistant provides the flexibility and privacy you deserve in your smart home.
