Want a Smart-er Home or business?

New gadgets not talking to each other, or routines that never run? We help Gold Coast homes and offices make smart gear work together, onsite or via a quick remote session. Fixed price options, friendly service, and same day where possible.

Smart home and IoT help (homes and small business)

Plan first, then plug in

We map your rooms, choose a simple platform stack, and make a short list of what should be smart now, lights, plugs, sensors, doorbell, AC control, and what can wait. Then we set it up so it is easy to grow later.


GC Tech tip: pick one primary platform, Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa, then add others only when needed. Fewer apps means fewer headaches.

Wi-Fi & mesh that sets devices up first time

IoT loves 2.4 GHz and clear names. We tune your SSIDs, band steering, and DHCP to stop pairing failures and random dropouts.


GC Tech tip: Create a short, letters-only SSID and password. Avoid symbols and emojis during onboarding, then rename later if you really want to.

Routines and scenes that feel like magic

Good automations are simple, lights on at sunset, hallway light on low at night motion, AC to 24 when you arrive, garage closes if left open, and they are easy to override.


GC Tech tip: start with one trigger, one action. When it works perfectly, add the next action. Layering beats building a monster rule that never fires.

Voice control, widgets & quick controls

We connect Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, create useful phrases, and add phone widgets and button remotes for the people who prefer taps over talking.


GC Tech tip: name devices how you speak, Kitchen lights, Office fan, not Model X123. Voice assistants understand natural names better.

Lighting, plugs & energy monitoring

We group rooms, set dim levels and fades, and add smart plugs with energy stats for fridges, washers, and desktops.


GC Tech tip: use smart switches or bulbs in fixtures people touch often. If someone kills power at the wall, a smart bulb cannot turn back on.

Doorbells, locks & garage openers

We fit video doorbells, set visitor notifications, and add smart locks or garage controllers with proper permissions and logs.


GC Tech tip: keep a physical backup, spare key or manual pull cord. Smart is great until a battery or Wi-Fi is not.

Security, privacy & guest access

We turn on two step login, remove old phones, and set Guest or Home member roles so visitors and kids can use what they need without changing settings.


GC Tech tip: make an IoT or Guest network for cameras and smart plugs. Keep laptops and phones on the main network.

Troubleshooting the weird stuff

We fix devices that refuse to pair, random offline alerts, ghost automations, and time zone errors. We update firmware, clean stale integrations, and re-map devices to the right rooms.


GC Tech tip: if a device is misbehaving, power cycle the device, then the nearest mesh node, then the router, in that order. Test after each step to find the real cause.
