Smart homes in Manly
Manly runs from apartments near the Corso and the ocean beach to large homes around Fairy Bower and Eastern Hill, all of it in salt air. Lighting control, security, intercoms and networks in Manly: designed, installed and serviced a short drive from our base on the Northern Beaches.
What Manly homes need
Every suburb has its own constraints. These are the ones that shape most of the work we see in and around Manly.
- 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
- Apartment buildings where work goes through the building manager, and the intercom and access system belong to the building. 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
- Homes fitted with C-Bus or Dynalite in the 2000s that still work, but have failed touchscreens or lost programming. More
