Built properly.
Documented. Yours.
A family-run smart home service: engineer-run, open-platform, and clear about what we do and what we do not. On-site across Melbourne metro, remote Australia-wide.
Small business.
Serious standards.
AI Smart Tech is a family-run business based in Melbourne's west (our short-travel home base), led by a chartered professional engineer. On-site work is Melbourne metro; bench-build, post and remote finishing is Australia-wide. What that means for your home is simple: everything documented, a verified backup before every change, scoping you can check, and no shortcuts. "She'll be right" is never an acceptable answer.
The Home Assistant expertise comes from years of hands-on building and running real systems: solar, battery, EV charging, hot water and climate, all coordinated and refined daily. Every dashboard and automation you'll see on this site is running in a real home right now.
We build exclusively on the open Home Assistant platform because it's the opposite of lock-in: your hardware, your data, your admin account, from day one. If we disappeared tomorrow, your home would keep working. That's the point.
And because we're small, you always deal with the people who built your system. When you call, someone who knows your home answers.

We tell you this bit up front
An engineering charter doesn't make anyone a smart home expert; the Home Assistant depth comes from years of hands-on building, not the certificate. What the engineering background does bring is the discipline most of this industry lacks:
Backup before every change
A rollback-first rule, always: nothing is touched without a verified restore point.
Everything documented
Your system comes with a record: what's installed, how it's configured, what changed and when.
Scope carefully, deliver fully
Fixed quotes, no surprise extras. If something's outside our depth, we say so and bring in the right partner.
The legal lines, drawn clearly
We design and configure the "brain" of your smart home. Any fixed mains wiring is done by our licensed electrician partner, and data cabling by an ACMA-registered cabler. You get one project, properly coordinated, with every trade doing what they're licensed to do.
Come see what a properly built one looks like.
