Melbourne homes, made smart.

In most cases, no. We work with your existing switches wherever possible, using smart modules that sit behind them. We'll confirm exactly what's needed during your free consultation.

Yes. Your system runs locally on hardware installed in your home — it doesn't depend on a cloud server to function. You can still control your lights, climate and most devices even without an internet connection.

Your home data stays in your home. We build on Home Assistant, an open platform that runs locally. We don't sell your data, and your automations don't rely on third-party cloud services.

Usually not. We use a mix of wired and wireless technologies chosen specifically to minimise invasive work. Where cabling is needed, we discuss it with you upfront and keep disruption to a minimum.

Every installation includes an 18-month support and warranty package. If any installed device fails under normal use, we repair or replace it at no cost. We hold spares on hand so fixes happen fast.

Absolutely. The platform is designed to grow with you. Adding new lights, sensors, cameras or integrations down the track is straightforward — just get in touch and we'll scope it out.

DIY platforms are fragmented — different apps, different ecosystems, limited automation. We build a unified system where everything works together, installed properly by licensed professionals, with ongoing support included. It's the difference between a collection of gadgets and a genuinely smart home.

Both. We've designed packages that work across houses, townhouses, and apartments. The consultation is where we figure out what's possible in your specific space.

Most installs are completed in one to two days. Larger or more complex homes may take a little longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.

We select components based on proven reliability — not brand deals. Common brands include Shelly, Sonoff, Aqara, and others in the Home Assistant ecosystem. Everything is tested before it goes into your home.

Yes. The SmartBoyz app gives you full control from anywhere — your phone, tablet, or desktop. You can also control your home locally via smart switches and voice assistants.

Yes — solar and battery integration is available in our Premium package. We can automate your home to make the most of solar generation, shift loads intelligently, and give you full visibility of your energy usage.

You can continue with an optional ongoing care plan that extends support, remote monitoring and software updates. It's never an obligation — your system is yours outright — but most clients find the peace of mind is worth it.

Yes. We can walk you through a live demo system during your consultation so you can see and feel exactly what your home could do before making any decisions.

For the first day, yes — we'll need access and may have a few questions as we go. After that, many clients are comfortable leaving us to finish up. We'll talk through the logistics at your consultation.

In most cases yes, though we'll assess your network during the consultation. For larger homes or more demanding setups, we may recommend a Wi-Fi upgrade — we can handle that too if needed.
