Our story

How we got here

2020

Luke started this business in Melbourne in 2020 after seeing what smart home installers were charging. The good systems were wired, complex and priced for the top end. Worse, once they were in, the homeowner couldn’t change a thing without calling the installer back.

Then

We took a different road. Modern wireless gear, open standards and a hub that sits quietly in the background doing the clever bit. You get a home that works together, that you can add to over time, and that you actually own.

2026

In 2026 we became CleverMate. It says what we’ve always tried to be: cleverer than the competition, and a mate who looks after you once the job’s done.

What we stand for

Simpler. Works together. Works better.

Three things every CleverMate install has to be, no matter how big or small the house.

Simpler

One app, one hub, plain language. If you need a manual to turn the lights on, we haven’t done our job.

Works together

Lights, blinds, locks, cameras, climate and music all talking to each other. Not six apps that ignore one another.

Works better

Built on open standards so it keeps up as new devices arrive. Add to it, change it, or take it with you when you move.

Luke has spent his career across smart home, telecommunications and eHealth, and started CleverMate because good automation shouldn’t be reserved for big-budget builds. He still runs most first consultations himself.

The showroom

Come and see it working

Reading about a smart home is one thing. Standing in one is another. Our Brunswick showroom is set up like a real house, so you can ask the lights to do something, see the cameras on a screen, and hear the audio move from room to room. Appointments only, so we can give you our full attention.
