Expand when ready
Start with the dashboard. Add the rest in your time.
If a device has an IP address, or talks Zigbee, Z-Wave or Thread, we can usually bring it in. Victron, Geyserwise, cameras and UniFi when they allow a local path.
Storage and backups
Bigger NVMe, USB or NAS, scheduled snapshots.
CCTV
Camera views, motion events, doorbells. NVR where the hardware allows.
Smart lighting
Shelly circuits and bulbs. Scenes, schedules, presence.
Gates and garages
Open and close, visitor PINs, notifications.
Air-cons and heat pumps
Schedules and eco modes on the brands we can talk to.
Geysers
Geyserwise or a relay. Timers. Solar-aware heating. Dual tanks when needed.
Power and ESS
Victron on the same dashboard. Loads that wait for surplus.
Voice and presence
Local voice, door chimes, announcements.
On the Pi
File server, photo albums, small sites, archives.
Irrigation and pool
Zone schedules, rain skip, pump timers.
Touch panels
Wall panels so you do not need the phone.
Networking
UniFi, VLANs for IoT, a tidy check of what is already there.
