SPACES, WITH PEOPLE IN MIND

Different buildings.
The same thoughtful approach.

One idea: let the building do more of the everyday work.

01 /

For your home

Your existing home. Made smarter.

Your home, upgraded. Often without costly renovation.

  • Lighting, scenes & presence
  • Climate, blinds & terrace shades
  • Energy visibility & useful alerts
See the possibilities

We review your existing installation and routines, check compatibility and plan the upgrade in stages. The aim is to add comfort while keeping building work and disruption to a minimum. What can be achieved without renovation depends on your installation and the functions you want.

Let’s talk about your home
02 /

For your hotel

Considered for guests. Clear for staff.

Guest comfort. Clearer operations. Start with one room.

  • Guest room comfort
  • Occupancy-aware routines
  • Operational visibility
See the possibilities

A hotel conversation begins with guest expectations, staff workflows and the systems already installed. Compatibility, manual controls and support requirements need to be assessed before an implementation scope can be proposed.

03 /

For your business

A workspace that works with you.

Open for business. Ready for the day. Better control of your space.

  • Lighting & opening hours
  • Indoor climate & shared spaces
  • Monitoring & system alerts
See the possibilities

We discuss how your premises operate, where repeated manual tasks occur and what information would help. That assessment defines the technical feasibility and responsibilities for any next step.

FROM MY OWN HOME TO YOUR NEXT IDEA

Real life.
Smart responses.

Built in my apartment. A starting point for your space.

PIOTR’S PERSONAL INSTALLATIONExplore the service options
MOTION + LIGHT01

Walk in. Lights on.

Light when you need it. Softer at night.

  • Motion
  • Illuminance
  • Time of day
From example to your project
What I connected
A Hue motion sensor and ceiling lights work together in a timed sequence. Brightness, colour temperature and the daylight threshold are tuned for everyday use.
What we can do for you
Motion-aware lighting, evening scenes and a simple all-off action, configured around the way you use a hallway, guest room or workspace.
The practical detail
Sensor position, daylight readings and manual controls need testing in the actual room. Room-level Bluetooth estimates can add context, but a tracked device is not proof that a person is present.

TEMPERATURE + HUMIDITY02

Every room. In view.

Temperature. Humidity. A clearer picture.

  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Equipment telemetry
From example to your project
What I connected
Room sensors feed a shared climate dashboard. Air-conditioning telemetry also supports a heat-buildup notification around the condenser.
What we can do for you
Room-by-room climate monitoring, trends and useful thresholds. Where compatible, bring existing climate controls into the same view.
The practical detail
Temperature and humidity are not a complete air-quality assessment. Alert thresholds need checking for each installation; my condenser alert threshold still needs validation in hot weather.
Explore this for my building
EXISTING MOTORS + RADIO03

Existing shades. New possibilities.

Keep your terrace shades. Add connected control.

  • Radio bridge
  • Sunset
  • Wind-sensor reporting
From example to your project
What I connected
Existing Somfy RTS terrace shades connect through a radio bridge to Home Assistant. An automation retracts them at sunset; a separate alert flags a wind sensor that stops reporting during daylight.
What we can do for you
Assess existing blinds and terrace shades for retrofit integration, shared controls and sensible schedules, while retaining their original controls.
The practical detail
Compatibility must be checked. Reported position can be an estimate; monitoring does not replace the manufacturer’s wind protection or resolve a faulty sensor.
Explore this for my building
DOOR CONTACT + LOCK STATUS04

Doors. In the know.

Lock status. Door contacts. Useful alerts.

  • Contact sensor
  • Lock events
  • Battery level
From example to your project
What I connected
A Nuki lock reports its state and actions over MQTT. A separate contact sensor monitors a different door; both appear in the home dashboard.
What we can do for you
Connect compatible lock information and door contacts, select useful notifications and show clearly which sensor reports which condition.
The practical detail
A locked state does not prove that a door is closed. This is status visibility, not a certified security or hotel access-control system.

POWER + ENERGY05

Power. Made visible.

See what is running. Spot what is waiting.

  • Power
  • Energy
  • Voltage
From example to your project
What I connected
A Shelly meter measures the circuit serving the audio setup and other connected equipment. Dashboards show live draw, energy history and configured device alerts.
What we can do for you
Monitor selected devices or circuits, build a useful dashboard and identify questions worth investigating before changing equipment or routines.
The practical detail
This example measures one circuit, not the whole home. There is no promised saving; fixed-wiring work needs an appropriately qualified electrical professional.
Explore this for my building
SOIL MOISTURE + LIGHT06

Dry soil. A timely nudge.

Know when to water. Notice a silent sensor.

  • Soil moisture
  • Light
  • Temperature
From example to your project
What I connected
Mi Flora sensors send soil and environmental readings through Bluetooth proxies. Notifications flag sustained dry soil and sensors that have been unavailable for several hours.
What we can do for you
Connect plant sensors, set appropriate thresholds and bring reminders into the same dashboard as the rest of the building.
The practical detail
Thresholds depend on the plant and its setting. These are monitoring and reminders; automatic watering is not part of this example.

BUILD THE RIGHT SCOPE, STEP BY STEP

Start small.
Connect what matters.

One useful change first. A clear scope before we start.

01 /

Assess & plan

A clear route into a smarter building.

  • Review existing devices, routines and network
  • Identify useful sensor and automation options
  • Agree priorities and a realistic retrofit scope
Discuss this starting point
02 /

Sensors & visibility

Know what is happening in your space.

  • Select and integrate compatible sensors
  • Set up dashboards, trends and notifications
  • Tune thresholds around the actual rooms
Discuss this starting point
03 /

Connected routines

Turn separate devices into useful actions.

  • Connect compatible lighting, climate and shading
  • Configure scenes, schedules and sensor triggers
  • Test behaviour and everyday manual controls
Discuss this starting point
04 /

Handover & upkeep

Keep the system understandable.

  • Document controls and key dependencies
  • Review backup and device-health monitoring
  • Agree follow-up reviews and support needs
Discuss this starting point

For hotels and businesses, we start with the operational requirements and a suitable pilot area. These examples are from my apartment, not completed commercial projects.

Equipment, access permissions and any electrical work are agreed separately. Fixed-wiring work is carried out by an appropriately qualified electrical professional. Ongoing support is by arrangement.

A CLEAR FIRST STEP

Start with your building.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Your space. Your devices. Your priorities.

  2. 02

    Find the useful connections

    Find useful connections. Check what is possible.

  3. 03

    Define the next step

    Agree the scope. Connect. Test. Hand over.

A LITTLE CLARITY GOES A LONG WAY

Good questions. Clearer decisions.

Short starting points for understanding your building.

01GETTING STARTED

Start with a routine. Not a device.

Read the short guide

Choose one repeated task: turning lights off when leaving, checking a room’s temperature, or adjusting blinds. Write down what triggers it, what should happen and how you would override it. Then check which of your existing devices can help. A useful first automation is small enough to understand, test and undo.

Discuss your project
02SYSTEMS & INTEGRATION

What does “local control” really mean?

Read the short guide

In my installation, some connections work directly on the home network; others depend on a manufacturer’s cloud. The useful question is what keeps working if the internet, an account or one device becomes unavailable. Map those dependencies and keep a practical way to operate important functions manually.

Discuss your project
03EVERYDAY RELIABILITY

Who notices when an automation stops?

Read the short guide

My home setup monitors backups, batteries and connectivity, because a routine is only useful while its supporting devices work. Decide which failures need an alert, who receives it and what they should do next. Keep the list selective: an alert that never leads to action soon becomes background noise.
