Smart homes in Avalon
Avalon is beach houses and bush blocks between the ocean and Pittwater, many renovated rather than replaced. Lighting control, security, intercoms and networks in Avalon: designed, installed and serviced a short drive from our base on the Northern Beaches.
What Avalon homes need
Every suburb has its own constraints. These are the ones that shape most of the work we see in and around Avalon.
- Bushfire-prone blocks, where external equipment has to suit the construction standard and alerts matter when nobody is home. More
- Homes fitted with C-Bus or Dynalite in the 2000s that still work, but have failed touchscreens or lost programming. More
- Indoor-outdoor living around decks, pools and gardens, which calls for lighting and audio set up as scenes, not a row of switches. More
- Weekenders and holiday homes that need watching, heating and opening remotely, without a drive up the peninsula. More

Smart homes in Avalon: common questions
Do you work in Avalon?
Yes. We design, install and service systems in Avalon and the surrounding suburbs, a short drive from our base on the Northern Beaches.
Is there anything special about equipment on a bushfire-prone block?
External equipment and penetrations need to suit the site's bushfire construction requirements, so we check the rating before specifying. Remote alerts for smoke, power and security are worth having when the house is empty.
Our Avalon home has an old C-Bus or Dynalite system. Can you look after it?
Yes. We service both, including systems with no programming file and discontinued touchscreens. See servicing.
