Automation & Monitoring

We are experts with Home Assistant and can help you automate your home or business. We also design and build several of our own monitoring systems that cover a wide range of uses.

From simple web based graphing of sensors, to full Home Assistant installations, we can do it all.

Some of our more notable achievements include:

  • The "Ultimate Beer Fridge" - A modified bar fridge guaranteed to keep your beer at a perfect 1.88'C, controlled via WiFi. This computer controlled fridge is suited to a wide range of uses not just beer - but that was the inspiration!
     
  • Web based battery management systems (BMS) - A graphical web based front end to control and monitor your lithium battery with a smart BMS. We can also custom build you a lithium battery to suit (we prefer wired connections, not Bluetooth).
     
  • Web based solar power systems - A graphical web based front end to control and monitor your solar power system. Suitable for homes or 12v portable systems. We also design and build 12v, 24v or 48v solar systems for off-grid use.
     
  • The "Car Mate" - an embedded Linux system that uses the above BMS and solar systems installed into your vehicle and accessible via an Android touchscreen stereo or any network connected device. It also connects to your home wifi while at home but becomes a 4g/5g internet hotspot when driving or camping, so any phone or tablet can access it via a web browser.
     
  • Precision environment sensors - We have been designing software and hardware for precision environmental sensors since 2001 and have vast experience in this field.
