All options →Every brand. One hub. The app you already use.
We put a small hub in your home with Home Assistant inside. Every device connects to it, whatever the brand. Your family uses it through the dashboards we design, or through Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa if that is what they already know.
Rated 5.0 on Google.
Real homes, real reviews, word for word. One was delivered entirely remotely, from Melbourne to Perth. The others had site visits in Melbourne.
I recently took the plunge into the world of HA. AI Smart offered an amazing service which was completely achieved remotely and with secure links for sensitive data (they are Melbourne based and I live in Perth). Their communications were always clear, prompt and feedback/updates were regular.
My main wants for HA was better integration of my BYD’s along with greater control of charging behaviours with my solar/battery setup - all of this was achieved as promised!
There were plenty of other wins also, bins night reminders, washer/dryer habits and controls, the list go on.
The best part of all was the finished look of the dashboard which included both a wall tablet and mobile phone version.
The team at AI Smart Tech are experts in the field of Home Automation.
They met with me to understand the scope of works, documented it and followed through to the end.
Having previously nearly 35 different devices, I am now running everything through a concise dashboard that looks amazing and is extremely functional.
Absolutely fantastic service from AI Smart Tech! They were reliable, professional, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and did an amazing job bringing our smart home together.
Our garage can now be controlled remotely, the air conditioning is smart-controlled, all our lights are automated, and we have room temperature, noise and occupancy sensors, door sensors, cameras and more!
All connected in one app and easily controlled from our phones, wherever we are.
Everything works seamlessly together and has made our day-to-day life so much easier, smarter and more convenient. We let friends in the house, deliver to the garage straight.
We are extremely happy with the result and the service we received. We would absolutely recommend AI Smart Tech to anyone looking to automate and upgrade their home!
Very thorough & professional service.
Exactly automated my home how we needed it. Definitely recommend.

Your solar should run the house, not just sit on the roof.
Most solar homes export at a few cents, then buy it back at peak rates after sunset. We flip that: hot water when the sun shines, the EV charging in the cheapest window, the battery covering the evening peak. Your bill goes down every month.
How energy optimisation works →Yes, we'll have remote access to your house.
Here's exactly how that works.
Every promise below comes with a written procedure behind it.
You own everything
Admin account, hardware and data are yours from day one. We hold a service login you can revoke anytime. No lock-in, ever.
SOP: least privilege · separate accountsYour data never leaves home
Home Assistant runs locally, in your house. No cloud required, so it keeps working even when the internet is down.
Local-first architectureNothing exposed to the internet
We never open ports. Maintenance runs over an encrypted private network; your own app access uses Home Assistant's official encrypted cloud.
No port-forwarding ruleAccess with permission: maintenance, not monitoring
Remote access is authorised in writing, used for scheduled maintenance and your requests, and every change is logged. We don't watch cameras, track comings and goings, or browse your history. Your data is never sold or shared.
SOP Part B · change log · Privacy Act 1988Backup before every change
Nothing gets touched without a verified backup and a rollback path. It's the same discipline used on critical infrastructure.
The golden ruleClean exit, guaranteed
Leave anytime: we hand over every credential, give you a final backup, and permanently remove our own access.
SOP Part H · offboardingHome Assistant hands you the keys most platforms keep for themselves.
Everything we build runs on Home Assistant, the world's largest open-source smart home platform. It's trusted by over 2 million households and run by a non-profit foundation, so it can't be sold, acquired or discontinued by a boardroom decision.
Works with what you own
Over 1,500 integrations: Philips Hue next to IKEA, Tesla next to Sungrow, every brand speaking to every other in one app.
Automation that thinks
Real logic decides, not a 6pm timer: lights that know whether anyone's home, hot water that waits for your solar.
Energy tools built in, not bolted on
Usage tracking, solar optimisation and tariff-aware planning are core platform features, and our specialty.
Local data · works offline · zero platform subscriptions. Covered in "Your home, your data, your keys" above.
All of Melbourne on-site.
Everywhere else by post & remote.
On-site is Melbourne metro. Western Melbourne is only our short-travel home base, not a service limit. We travel for site scope across metro. Outside Melbourne, we bench-build, post, and finish remotely anywhere in Australia.
