Energy Monitoring and Management

Smart Energy Monitoring

Energy monitoring systems track electricity consumption providing insights for reducing costs. We install whole-home energy monitors, circuit-level monitoring for major appliances, real-time consumption displays, historical usage analysis, and cost tracking. Energy monitoring identifies wasteful consumption enabling targeted efficiency improvements.

Smart Power Points

Smart power points add control and monitoring to individual outlets. We install smart outlets with energy monitoring, scheduled power control, remote on/off capability, and overload protection. Smart outlets prevent standby power waste while providing convenient device control.

Load Management Systems

Load management prevents excessive electricity demand reducing peak usage costs. We install automated load shedding for non-essential circuits, solar power optimisation, battery storage integration, and demand response participation. Load management reduces electricity costs while supporting grid stability.

Whole-Home Automation

Centralised Home Automation Hubs

Home automation hubs unify control of smart devices from different manufacturers. We install and configure automation hubs supporting multiple protocols, unified app control for all devices, complex automation creation, and local processing for reliability. Centralised hubs provide comprehensive smart home control avoiding manufacturer ecosystem limitations.

Automated Routines and Scenes

Automated routines trigger multiple actions with single commands or automatically. We program morning routines activating lights, climate control, and blinds, leaving-home routines securing property and reducing energy use, arriving-home routines preparing comfortable environments, and bedtime routines creating sleep-conducive conditions. Automated routines eliminate repetitive manual adjustments.

Geofencing Automation

Geofencing triggers automation based on smartphone location. We setup arrival automation activating heating/cooling and lighting, departure automation securing homes and reducing energy consumption, proximity notifications for security events, and family member location-based automation. Geofencing provides truly automatic smart home operation.

Time-Based Automation

Time-based automation creates schedules for lighting, climate, and other systems. We program sunrise/sunset-based lighting automation, weekday/weekend schedule variations, seasonal adjustment for changing conditions, and holiday-specific automation. Time-based automation ensures appropriate settings throughout days and seasons.

Smart Security Integration
