Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of a typical smart home?

Smart home costs vary greatly based on home size and requirements. A basic setup might start around $2,000-5,000, while comprehensive whole-home automation can range from $10,000-30,000+. Our design consultation (from $250 + GST) provides realistic estimates for your specific project.

What is Home Assistant and why do you recommend it?

Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform that runs locally on your network. We recommend it because it provides complete privacy (no cloud dependencies), works with thousands of devices, has no subscription fees, and gives you full control over your smart home data.

Can you work with existing smart devices?

Yes! Home Assistant integrates with over 3,000 different smart home devices and services. We can incorporate many existing smart devices into a unified Home Assistant system, giving you centralized control and advanced automation capabilities.

Do I need technical knowledge to use your smart home systems?

No technical knowledge required. We design systems that are user-friendly and maintainable by anyone. We provide comprehensive training, documentation, and ongoing support to ensure you're comfortable with your smart home system.

What makes your approach different from other smart home companies?

Our privacy-first approach means your data stays in your home, not in the cloud. We use open-source technology (no vendor lock-in), have 25 years of enterprise IT experience, and focus on local control systems with no monthly subscription fees.

How long does a smart home project take?

Project timelines vary by complexity. Design consultation typically takes 1-2 weeks. For our pre-configured Home Assistant servers, delivery is 2-3 business days. Full smart home installations can range from 1-4 weeks depending on scope and trade work required.

What areas do you service?

We provide services across Australia. Design consulting and pre-configured servers are available nationwide. For on-site installations, we focus on the greater Sydney metropolitan area but can arrange services in other major cities.

Is Home Assistant reliable for daily use?

Yes, when properly configured. Home Assistant has been in development since 2013 and is used by hundreds of thousands of homes worldwide. Our enterprise IT background ensures we configure systems for maximum reliability and stability.
