Smart thermostats, smart lights, smart doorbells, smart speakers — bought one at a time from different shops, none of them talking to each other. We pick an ecosystem, wire it all in, and hand you one app that controls the lot.
Most "smart homes" are a collection of devices in isolation. Each brand wants you in its own app, with its own login, its own remote, its own way of doing automations. The result: you stop using half of them.
A proper smart home runs on a single ecosystem — Google Home, Apple Home (HomeKit), or Amazon Alexa — with Matter and Thread as the common languages between brands. We choose the right one for your devices and phone, then bring everything into it.
Matter is the industry-wide standard that lets devices from Apple, Google, Amazon, Philips, IKEA, Aqara and others all work together. Most new smart devices support it. Where they don't, we use bridges to connect older devices.
The hub choice depends on the phones in your house. Pick one and we'll wire your devices into it.
Best for iPhone households. Privacy-first (devices controlled locally, not via cloud where possible). Apple TV or HomePod acts as the hub. Tight integration with the Home app.
Strongest voice control (Google Assistant). Best for Android households. Nest Hub or Nest Mini as the hub. Wide third-party device support including Nest thermostats & cameras.
Best value, widest third-party device support. Echo Show / Echo Dot as the hub. Great Routines automation. Strong if you already have Ring doorbells or Eero Wi-Fi.
Google Nest, Tado, Hive, Drayton Wiser. Replace your old thermostat with one your phone controls. Per-room TRV smart valves. Schedules, geofencing, energy reports.
Philips Hue, LIFX, IKEA Tradfri, Aqara. Bulbs, strips, panels, smart switches. Scenes per room. Schedules (auto-on at sunset). Voice / app / wall-switch — your choice.
Sonos multi-room (best in class). Apple HomePod / Mini. Echo / Nest speakers. Whole-home or zoned. Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal — built in.
Ring, Nest, Eufy. See who's at the door from anywhere. Talk to delivery drivers. Motion alerts. Covered in detail on the CCTV page.
Yale Linus, Aqara, August. Keypad entry. Auto-lock. Temporary codes for cleaners or guests. Integration with doorbell so you see who you're unlocking for.
Smart plugs for non-smart appliances. Smart kettles, robot vacuums, blinds, leak sensors, motion sensors. The boring devices that quietly do their job.
This is the bit that makes a smart home feel smart. Not just app control — actual automated behaviour.
At 7:00 on weekdays: bedroom lights fade from amber to white over 5 minutes, heating kicks on if downstairs is under 18°C, kitchen radio plays Morning Ireland on Sonos, weather forecast on the smart display.
Last phone leaves the house: thermostat drops to 16°C, all lights off, plugs cut, doors auto-lock, security cameras switch to away-mode with full motion alerts.
"Hey Google, movie time": living room lights dim to 15%, hallway light to 30%, Sonos pauses, TV switches to Apple TV input, blinds close. One command, six actions.
Doorbell rings while you're upstairs: video preview appears on every TV in the house and on the Sonos speakers as an announcement. Tap once on your phone to talk to the visitor.
Bedside button: all downstairs lights off, smart locks engage, heating drops 1°C, bedroom curtains close, white noise starts on the speaker. Phones go on do-not-disturb.
Leak sensor under the dishwasher detects water: notifications to both phones, all smart plugs in the kitchen cut, Sonos announces "Water detected in the kitchen." Damage stopped before it spreads.
