01 / The approach
A smart home should still feel like yours.
Useful automation without the black box.
We explore what is possible, build systems that solve real problems, and improve them through honest testing. Expect clear diagrams, reproducible steps, repairable parts, and local control whenever it makes sense.
02 / Project paths
Start with a
problem worth solving.
Lighting & presence
Thoughtful scenes, occupancy sensing, and low-voltage lighting that works without reaching for an app.
Water & garden
Leak alerts, tank monitoring, irrigation, and pool systems built around reliable sensors and simple controls.
Energy & resilience
Measure consumption, automate the waste away, and keep essential systems visible when things go wrong.
03 / From the workbench
Builds you can understand from the first wire to the final line of code.
