what makes us different?
some of our senior engineers have been building home automation systems for over twenty years, and that experience has shaped our philosophy.
we aren’t satisfied with remote controls pretending to be home automation.
instead we want to build best-in-class home automation experiences.
here’s how we do that:
scenario-based planning, not just remote controls,
site-specific design and full customizability,
privacy- and security-focused through our entire process
keep reading to find out what these points mean to us.
scenario-based planning
the philosophy of “scenario-based planning” is demonstrated in the idea that the light-switch should know whether you want to press it.
we work with our customers to craft the scenarios in which they use their spaces. for example:
“I want these lights on when I’m in this room during the day,”
“I want my blinds to open an hour after sunrise on days I’m going to the office and to close when it gets dark out,”
“My coffee-maker should start when I get out of bed,”
“The lighting should be more orange in the evening than in the afternoon,”
“I’d like the temperature…”
to be honest, we’ve gotten just about every sort of temperature request you can imagine.
site-specific design and full customizability
all sites are different, and those details matter. a solution that fits ones location might feel out of place at another. what someone else wants might not suit you.
when we say we can do bespoke, we mean it. our team of specialists can design and build hardware, software, and even apps.*
if you’ve looked at the products stocked at the big-box stores, you might have thought home automation meant you needed to install a particular switch and use a particular app.
we don’t buy into those constraints. reality can match your design.
* of course we can also connect to other home automation systems and products as requested.
privacy- and security- focused
your home shouldn’t spy on you, and it shouldn’t generate market data for advertisers.
it also shouldn’t introduce security vulnerabilities to your sensitive information.
we scrupulously follow security best practices,
we never sell your private data, and we don’t store it off-site without your express consent,
we perform a security audit on every piece of hardware we install, and
we don’t put questionable hardware on your network.
we take the privilege of working in your home seriously, and we protect your privacy and security as if they were our own.
we can also provide security assessments and work with security professionals to implement security systems as well as home automation systems.
