About us

You don’t have to worry about specific equipment. Our trained technical/sales representative will visit your home or site to assess your needs and advise you on what system specifications will suit your home.

Automation is a system installed into your home, either during the building stages, or retrofitted some time after the building has been completed. But it all depends on your situation as well as your needs.

In the case where you are building an new house or doing major renovations or upgrades,  it will be best if we get involved as soon your building plans have been approved by the council. This is to ensure the planning and placement of points and conduit pipes are all correct for the system you require.  The infrastructures layout and pipes are crucial for a smooth installation of phase 1.

A Phase 1 Infrastructure and planning: This happens at the beginning of your project. This phase includes the design of the infrastructure and the installation of structured wiring solution.

A Phase 2 Installation: This happens around the time when the ceilings are installed. This includes the wall and ceiling fittings. Examples are: Keypads, Wireless lighting switches, In-ceiling speakers, WAP’s (Wireless access points) and brackets. We ensure that the speaker arrangement  is correct in every room and that all connections are intact and functioning correctly.

A Phase 3 Final phase: This happens at the end of the project. We will install all the hardware and equipment at this stage. All the programming and setup will be completed and system will be tested and handed over.

The three phase program allows the project to be better managed and also ensures that you have a steady cash flow throughout. The program also make it possible for us supply you with the latest models and equipment in the 3rd phase. No building project goes exactly as planned and we know this. Therefore we are able to adapt according to your requirements and provide you with an end result you will be pleased with.

We also do 3D design renderings, installation and programming as well as  the calibration of the audio-visual equipment to ensure the highest levels of performance and cutting edge cinema technology.  

Yes. Wifi in your home is necessary, because most of the home automation systems make use of Wifi. Smart TVs let you enjoy apps, surf the web and stream videos on the internet  from the comfort of your couch, but you will need a stable home Wifi network to do so. Some devices have an app that you can download to your tablet or smartphone which enables you to stream music straight to the device from anywhere in the house where there is a Wifi signal. You can also control your multi-room audio system from your smart device and choose what, when and where you listen to your music. We specialize in professional Wifi technology, to ensure fast and reliable internet connections.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. A home automation system consists of many elements that make up the final smart home solution.

Home automation systems can start at R39 000 to R6 million and more! It all depends on the size of your home, the scope of the project, the subsystems you wish to connect and control as well as the quality, type and level of system you require. The bigger the system, the more time and equipment will be required to complete the project, but there is a comprehensive solution available for every type of house and budget.

If a smart home system is designed, configured and programmed effectively you can definitely save energy. The system can be programmed to turn lights on and off when a room is not in use or when you are away from home. You can bring down your energy usage considerably, by dimming lights and using motion sensors for occupancy control of a rooms’ lighting. By installing motorised curtains or blinds and light level sensors to control natural daylighting in a room, you can control the amount of natural light from the sun in a room which can further reduce energy usage.

Automation is a system installed into your home, either during the building stages, or retrofitted some time after the building has been completed. A home automation system controls all your audio, video and lighting components from within your home or remotely. There is no limit to what home automation can do for you. It can be tailored to your specific needs. Home Automation makes living in your home more luxurious, convenient and efficient.

It will depend on your specific needs as well as  the amount of control you want over your home automation. If you only want to control audio, video and lighting throughout the home while you are physically in it, a closed home automation system with a controller specific to that system will be sufficient.

But if you want to access your home automation system remotely from your office or holiday destination, you’ll need a system that can be accessed using a Web browser and home control APP or even your smartphone, which can definitely be done.

The possibilities are virtually endless/limitless

Lighting control enables your entire home, garden and driveway to light up with a single press of a button. Have a soft path of light appear automatically between the bedroom and the bathroom in the middle of the night or a glow on the treads of the stairs for a safer descent. Your lighting control system can be linked to motion detectors enabling your lights to flash on and off as a deterrent when activated or simply light to full for your peace of mind. Lighting control can also be linked to many other devices such as fire and burglar alarms and CCTV.

With the push of one or two buttons multiroom audio enables you to select your choice of music instantly from anywhere in your home. LCD touch screens and Apple iPads or Android tablets can also be used to provide graphical controls.

Multi-room audio and video systems can be discreetly concealed or tastefully presented in your central audio and video area. Your home control keypads located throughout your home serve as convenient control stations which forward requests for volume, radio station, music track, etc., to the central control system. Control is also possible using dedicated touchscreens on smartphone/tablet devices using Apps.
