Smart homes in Freshwater
Freshwater is beach houses on the hillsides above the beach, many of them now being rebuilt. Lighting control, security, intercoms and networks in Freshwater: designed, installed and serviced a short drive from our base on the Northern Beaches.
What Freshwater homes need
Every suburb has its own constraints. These are the ones that shape most of the work we see in and around Freshwater.
- Knock-down rebuilds, where automation designed before the electrical tender costs far less than adding it later. More
- Salt air on exposed facades, which rules out cheap external cameras, intercoms and light fittings, and calls for marine-grade housings and stainless hardware. 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
- Steep blocks with garages at street level and gates that need intercom and camera coverage on long cable runs. More
