A house that does the boring things itself

Most 'smart homes' we get asked to fix are a drawer of apps. One for the lights, one for the gate, one for the air-conditioning, and none of them agree when the Wi-Fi blinks. AVX Solutions plans the system around how the household actually lives, then picks hardware that can be supported.

Where people should start

We are not going to name a platform here as if every house gets the same one. The house, the switch wires, and whether you are renovating or living in a finished place all change the answer. If a brand is right, we say so on the quote, not in a slogan.

Lighting scenes you will use every night, not a button labelled 'romance' that nobody presses.

The gate and the alarm in the same 'we are out' action, if the security system allows it.

Climate on a schedule, with a way to override it when someone is home sick.

What this covers

A single way for the family to control it

If only one person understands the app, it is not a household system.

Renovations are the cheap moment to do this

Cable routes, cupboard space for the kit, and switch positions are miserable to invent after the painter has left. We will still retrofit, and we will tell you what will look like a retrofit.

Sandton, Bryanston, Waterkloof and Brooklyn are normal for us

If the house is further out, say so when you book. The consultation is a visit, not a PDF.

Questions we get on site

Can you automate a finished house?

Yes, with limits. Some things need cable. We would rather show you the limit than hide a hub behind a couch and call it done.

Will it work when the internet drops?

The important local functions should. A gate that only opens because a cloud server overseas is having a good day is a bad gate.

Do you work with the architect or the builder?

Yes, if you bring us in before the walls close. Send the contact form and mention the site address area, not the full stand number, until we are engaged.

Is this only for large houses?

No. A flat with lights, an alarm and a single scene is a valid job. The quote follows the scope.
