Home Automation

Yes. We have experience working with IoT projects across home automation, automotive, lifestyle and business services amongst other verticals.

Absolutely. We have experience both delivering standalone apps which can be user installed on phones and tablets, and with locked down hardware devices that are distributed alongside new installs.

No. We build the software above the device: apps, dashboards, integrations, and the platform that stores and makes sense of the data. We work with whatever hardware is already chosen or already installed. If you need the device itself designed or programmed, we will tell you plainly rather than take the work.

Yes. These are the platforms a real home already runs on, and replacing them is rarely the right answer. We build with and between them — reading device state, exposing what matters in one place, and filling the gaps where two platforms refuse to cooperate.

When the vendor app already does the job. If your devices are all from one ecosystem and its own app covers what the household needs, custom software is a cost with no return. It earns its place when devices span several platforms that will not talk, when the data has to be trusted rather than indicative, or when the people living there need an interface the vendor was never going to build.

A working prototype through Ignite costs $25,000 to $50,000, fixed price, and is the usual start for a new product. A full build through Amplify starts around $100,000 and scales with the number of devices and platforms involved. The figure is confirmed in a $9,000 + GST Rapid Insight Workshop before you commit.

A prototype takes four to eight weeks, enough to test it in real homes. A full product build typically runs two to 12 months, depending on how many ecosystems it has to talk to. We stage it so a usable version reaches people early.
