Smart Home Fundamentals
-
A smart home system connects lighting, climate, energy, security and shading into one coordinated system. Instead of managing individual devices, your home responds automatically to how you live - reliably and consistently.
-
Smart devices operate independently. A smart home is engineered as a complete system, where all components communicate with each other through a central logic - improving reliability, simplicity and long-term flexibility.
-
Yes. Rising energy costs, grid limitations and modern building standards make intelligent control increasingly valuable. A properly designed system improves comfort, efficiency and long-term property value.
-
We make sure that your professionally designed system allows you to control your entire home from a single, intuitive app, rather than juggling multiple platforms for different devices.
Energy, Solar & Storage
-
As net metering is reduced, exporting excess solar energy becomes less financially attractive. This shifts the value toward using and storing your own energy inside the home.
-
Yes, but only when your home can intelligently use or store the energy you generate. Without smart control, surplus energy often loses value, or is penalised, when sent back to the grid.
-
Not always, but without storage or intelligent energy management, much of your generated energy is wasted. A battery allows your home to store energy when it’s cheap or self-generated and use it when it’s most valuable
-
Electricity prices change every 15 minutes based on supply and demand. Without smart energy management, many homes buy electricity at higher prices while exporting energy at lower ones.
-
Our system continuously monitors real-time energy prices, solar production and household demand. It automatically decides when to store, use or draw energy - based on your home’s exact design and usage patterns.
Technology & Reliability
-
KNX is an internationally recognised building automation standard used in high-end residential and commercial projects. It ensures long-term reliability, system independence and compatibility across manufacturers.
-
Core system functions operate locally within your home. Internet connectivity enhances remote access and data services but is not required for essential operation, ensuring reliability and privacy.
-
Yes - when professionally designed. We work with open, professional-grade systems that integrate seamlessly, avoiding vendor lock-in and future limitations.
-
Our systems are designed to evolve. Because they are engineered rather than product-dependent, new technologies can be added without replacing the entire system.
Installation & Process
-
Ideally at the design stage. Early planning allows automation to be integrated discreetly, reduces rework and ensures the system supports the architectural intent.
-
Yes. While new builds offer the most flexibility, many existing homes can be upgraded with carefully planned solutions that minimise disruption.
-
Yes. We collaborate closely with architects, interior designers, builders and electricians to ensure the system integrates seamlessly into the overall project.
-
This depends on the project size and complexity. Most installations are phased alongside construction or renovation to ensure efficiency and minimal disruption.
Languages & Locations
-
We work fluently in English or Dutch and manage all technical coordination within the Dutch regulatory and construction framework.
-
Yes. We regularly work with international homeowners and understand the expectations around clarity, communication and project coordination.
-
We work throughout the Netherlands, including Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague and surrounding regions.
-
Yes. All systems are designed in line with Dutch standards, grid requirements and best practices - while meeting international quality expectations.
