Smart Homes, Made Easy
We’re Home Auto Mates — helping you get the most out of your home tech.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or you’ve already got gadgets scattered everywhere, we’ll help bring it all together into one simple, seamless system that actually works.
About Us
We’re just three mates who love home automation — and want to help others get the same “wow, that’s cool!” moments in their own homes.
Between us, we’ve built, broken, rebuilt and optimised more smart home setups than we’d like to admit. Now we’re putting the lessons learned to good use by helping regular homeowners:
- Pick the right tech for their home
- Install and set it up the smart way
- Keep it running smoothly
No jargon. No overcomplicating things. Just good service, done right
Our services
New Smart Home Setups
Starting from scratch? We’ll help you plan the right devices, set everything up, and get it running exactly how you want. If you’re building or renovating, we can even work in with your tradies to ensure anything behind the walls are installed before they’re closed up.
Optimising What You Already Have
Got a few Google Homes, an Alexa, a smart thermostat, cameras or sensors already?
We’ll bring them all together so they play nicely — even if they’re different brands.
Home Assistant Install & Configuration
The real magic happens when everything talks locally.
We set up a low-cost Raspberry Pi powered Home Assistant hub in your home so your automations run fast, reliably, and (when possible) without the internet.
How It Works
1. Free In Home Consult
- We come out, have a chat, check out your current setup and listen to what you’d like your home to do.
- No pressure, no cost.
2. Set-up Design
- Based on your home, devices, goals and budget.
- Brand‑agnostic. Independent advice.
3. Tailored Quote
- No packages, no cookie‑cutter pricing.
- Every home is different — your quote will be too.
4. Installation
- We install, configure and test everything at a time that suits you
- Then we show you how it all works, nice and simple.
5. Ongoing Management or Support (Optional)
If you’d like help long‑term, for a small monthly fee we can:
- provide remote management and support through Home Assistant, or
- come out whenever needed (at an additional cost)
