Smart home and automation on the Gold Coast
Smart switches, scheduled lighting, motorised blinds and energy monitoring make a home easier to run, as long as they are wired properly and actually work together. We install reliable, Australian-approved smart devices on your fixed wiring and set them up in the app you already use.

Where smart home upgrades help most
You do not need a whole-home system to get the benefit. Most clients start with one of these.
Smart home work we install
We recommend products that suit your home and the platform you already use, not a closed system you are locked into.
Smart switches and dimmers
Wall switches and dimmers that work by hand, by app, by voice and on schedules, in styles that match your existing plates.
Smart relays and outdoor control
Relays behind existing switches or at the board to control garden, pool and facade lighting, pumps and heaters.
Blinds and curtain power
Power points or hardwired connections at each window for motorised blinds, coordinated with your blind supplier.
Energy monitoring
A monitor at the switchboard that shows whole-home and circuit-level use, plus solar generation, in an app.
How much does smart home wiring cost on the Gold Coast?
A smart switch replacing an existing switch starts from $145, and most clients start with three to six switches or relays for between $450 and $900. Older homes without a neutral at the switch may need a different product or a short cable run. Whole-home systems with scenes and keypads are quoted after a walk through.

What clients say about our smart home work
“The garden lights come on at sunset by themselves.”
Smart relays on the garden, pool and facade lighting, all in the one app with schedules. They took the time to set it up exactly how we wanted.

“We can check the apartment from home.”
Smart switches and blind power in our holiday unit. We turn the lights on before guests arrive and can see everything is off when they leave.

“Finally know where our power goes.”
Energy monitor at the board showed the old pool pump was the culprit. Now it runs on a schedule while the solar is up.

FAQs
Smart home questions
What homeowners ask before going smart.
Can I install smart switches myself?
Not if they connect to 240-volt wiring. In Queensland any work on fixed wiring must be done by a licensed electrician. Plug-in smart plugs are fine to use yourself.
Will smart switches work with my existing app?
We choose products that work with Google Home, Apple Home or Amazon Alexa, depending on what you already use, so everything sits in one app.
Why do some smart switches need a neutral?
Most smart switches need a neutral wire at the switch to stay powered. Many older homes do not have one there. We check before quoting and choose a product or wiring option that suits.
What happens if the Wi-Fi goes down?
The switches still work by hand on the wall. Schedules and app control return when the network does.
Are cheap smart switches from online marketplaces safe?
Not always. Products connected to fixed wiring in Australia must be approved for sale here and carry the RCM mark. We only install products that do.
Can I start small and add more later?
Yes. Most clients start with outdoor lighting or a few key switches and add more over time. We plan the first stage so it works with what comes next.
