Automation
One system. Complete home control.
Home automation isn't just for high end architectural homes. It's for homeowners who want their home to work better.
Imagine one system bringing together lighting, heating and cooling, ventilation, blinds, audio, security, energy monitoring and other home systems into one intelligent platform. Instead of managing multiple apps and devices, your home works seamlessly together to improve comfort, convenience, efficiency and control.
What We Can Integrate
Lighting
Create customised lighting scenes, simplify everyday control and switch the entire home off with a single button. Control any lighting circuit from anywhere in the house, including exterior and landscape lighting.
Climate control
Integrate heating, cooling and ventilation into a single platform. Adjust temperatures remotely, automate schedules and have your home respond intelligently to occupancy and your location.
Automated Blinds and Shading
Control blinds and curtains automatically based on time of day, sunlight or occupancy. Improve privacy, comfort and convenience while reducing the need for manual adjustments.
Security and Access Control
Bring together alarms, cameras, intercoms and access control into one easy-to-manage system. Monitor and control key areas of your home from a single interface.
Energy Management
Monitor energy usage and integrate solar, batteries and EV charging. Gain greater visibility over how your home uses energy and make informed decisions about consumption.
Smart Living
Manage multiple systems from elegant wall-mounted keypads, touchscreens or your smartphone. One platform, one interface and complete control throughout your home.

The real advantage of KNX isn't just the technology, it's how it simplifies everyday living.
Leaving Home
One press of an "All Off" button turns off lights, checks selected appliances, adjusts the climate settings and arms your securit
Arriving Home
As you pull into the driveway, exterior lighting automatically illuminates, the hallway lights welcome you inside and your heating or cooling has already adjusted to a comfortable temperature.
Entertaining
Create a scene that sets the mood with a single touch. Bring together your chosen lighting, blinds, music and other systems to create the right atmosphere for an evening with family and friends.
Holiday
When you're away, your home can continue to operate intelligently. Lighting and blinds can follow normal patterns, exterior lighting can respond to the time of day, systems can be monitored or controlled remotely
Bedtime
The press of a single switch can prepare the home for the night. Turn off downstairs lighting, lower all the blinds, dim selected lights, adjust the heating and leave only the lighting you want on
What is KNX?
Open Standard
Unlike many smart home systems that are tied to a single manufacturer, KNX is an internationally recognised open standard supported by hundreds of manufacturers worldwide. This gives you the freedom to choose from a wide range of compatible products, ensuring your home isn't locked into one brand or limited by a single product range. As technology evolves, components can be upgraded or expanded while remaining part of the same KNX system.
Reliable by Design
Built on a dedicated wired communication network, KNX provides dependable performance without relying on Wi-Fi for communication between devices. The result is a robust, responsive system designed to operate reliably for many years.
Professionally Engineered
Every KNX system is carefully designed, programmed and commissioned to suit your home and the way you live. Rather than simply installing smart devices, every component is configured to work together as one intelligent, intuitive system.
Built to Grow
Every home is different, and so is every KNX system. Whether you're integrating lighting, climate control or a complete home automation solution, additional functionality can be added over time as your lifestyle or requirements change, protecting your investment well into the future.
Our Process
From the initial consultation through to installation, programming and final commissioning, we work closely with you to understand how you want your home to function and deliver the electrical and integrated home technology to suit. Our process keeps each stage coordinated and ensures the details are considered from concept through to completion.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not at all. While KNX is widely used in high-end architectural homes, it can also be a practical solution for many new builds and renovations. The level of automation is completely tailored to your requirements and budget. Whether you're looking for a few key features or a fully integrated home, KNX can be designed to suit your project.
-
The cost depends on the size of the home and the level of functionality you want. A basic KNX installation can start from around $5,000 more than a standard electrical fit-out, while more comprehensive systems can involve a significantly larger investment. We'll help you determine what makes sense for your home and budget.
-
KNX can bring many of your home's systems together, including lighting, heating and cooling, blinds, security, energy management and more. These systems can work independently or together, allowing you to create scenes and functions around the way you use your home.
-
Yes. One of the advantages of KNX is that the system can evolve with your home. Many functions can be changed through programming without altering the electrical installation, allowing you to add or adjust scenes, keypad functions and other features as your needs change. Where practical, we also like to run KNX cabling to key locations during the initial installation, helping to future-proof the home and make it easier to add new functionality later.
-
Planning early is ideal, as it allows the electrical and KNX infrastructure to be incorporated into the design from the outset. It gives you the greatest flexibility and avoids unnecessary changes later in the build. That said, KNX can also be incorporated into renovations and existing homes, depending on the project.
