Home Automation.

Smart Home Automation Sydney

Bayside Electrical Group installs smart home automation systems that are simple to use, affordable to expand, and don't require proprietary wiring or expensive controllers. We focus on proven wireless protocols — Z-Wave, Zigbee, Matter, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi — that let you automate lighting, security, climate, and entertainment using the devices and apps you already know.

As licensed electricians with over a decade of experience across Sydney, we handle the electrical infrastructure that makes smart home technology work reliably — dedicated circuits, neutral wire availability, smart switch wiring, and structured cabling. Whether you're upgrading a single room or automating an entire home, we make sure the electrical foundation is right so your smart devices perform the way they should.

Smart Lighting Installation

Smart lighting is the most popular starting point for home automation. We install Z-Wave and Zigbee smart dimmers, switches, and downlight drivers that give you app control, voice control, and scene programming without replacing your existing light fittings. Set up "Movie Night" to dim the lounge and close the blinds, or "Good Morning" to gradually bring up your bedroom lights — all from your phone or a voice command.

Unlike basic Wi-Fi smart bulbs that clog your home network, Z-Wave and Zigbee devices run on their own mesh network. This means faster response times, greater range through walls, and a system that stays responsive even when your Wi-Fi is under load. We wire the neutral connections that many smart switches require — something most homeowners can't safely do themselves.

Matter-Ready Smart Home Setup

Matter is the new universal smart home standard backed by Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung. It means your smart devices work together regardless of brand — no more ecosystem lock-in. We install Matter-compatible smart switches, sensors, and controllers so your home is ready for the future of home automation without being tied to a single manufacturer.

We set up Thread border routers and Matter controllers that keep your smart home running locally on your network. Your lights, locks, and sensors respond instantly without relying on cloud servers — and they keep working even when your internet drops out.

Smart Security and Camera Integration

Connect your security cameras, video doorbells, smart locks, and motion sensors into one automated system. When your doorbell detects someone, the hallway lights turn on and your TV displays the camera feed. When the alarm arms at night, the system locks all smart locks, activates motion sensors, and sets the lights to away mode — all automatically.

We handle the electrical work behind smart security — running power to camera locations, wiring electronic door strikes, installing PoE network drops for IP cameras, and ensuring your switchboard has dedicated circuits for security equipment. All processing stays local on your home network for privacy and reliability.

Climate and Energy Automation

Smart thermostats, automated ceiling fans, and zone-controlled air conditioning let you maintain comfort while cutting energy costs. We integrate your heating and cooling with occupancy sensors and scheduling — if nobody's home, the system scales back automatically. Come home to a comfortable house without running the aircon all day.

For homes with solar panels and battery storage, we connect energy monitoring devices that track consumption by circuit and automate load shifting. Run your heavy appliances during peak solar production and charge batteries during off-peak tariffs — all managed automatically through your smart home hub.

How We Set Up Your Smart Home

We work with popular smart home platforms including Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Home Assistant. During the consultation, we assess your existing wiring, check neutral wire availability at switch points, and recommend the right combination of Z-Wave, Zigbee, Matter, or Wi-Fi devices for your home. Every installation includes proper electrical work — smart switch wiring, dedicated hub power, structured cabling where needed — followed by full device pairing, scene programming, and a walkthrough so you're confident using your new system from day one.
