WHAT WE ADD
WHAT WE ADD
The part the forums leave to you.
Beyond the integrations
Home Assistant connects to almost anything. The work is choosing the right hardware, wiring it properly and making it reliable. That's the part we do.
Not just for tinkerers
All it can do
No dead ends

A DAY IN THE HOUSE
What it actually feels like
6:30 AM
Wake gently
Blinds lift slowly while the hallway warms before breakfast.
7:15 AM
Kitchen ready
Lights settle bright enough for lunches, coffee and bags.
8:40 AM
Leave secure
Doors lock, unused rooms switch off, cameras stay watchful.
2:30 PM
Climate holds
Sensors in every room, so nothing heats for nobody.
5:45 PM
Arrive home
The house sees you turn into the street and lights the way.
7:20 PM
Dinner mood
Dining, kitchen and music shift together, all running locally.
10:10 PM
Goodnight
The house locks, dims and checks the garage before you sleep.

How it works
How it works
Five steps, one local team, and a fixed quote before any work starts. The whole journey from first chat to a house that runs itself, locally.

01
Consult
We look at everything already in the house, whatever the brand, who lives there, and what everyone actually carries.
02
Design
We map what runs natively, what needs a bridge, and the network and hardware Home Assistant will run on.
03
Install
Our team builds the network first, then fits the hardware, with neat work and a tidy handover.
04
Configure
We build the dashboard and automations, then walk the household through it.
05
Support
We stay close as you add devices, swap phones, or decide something should work a different way.
Home Assistant on your own, versus Home Assistant set up properly
Home Assistant can do almost anything, which is exactly the problem. The difference shows up once there are thirty devices, three people and a house that has to work every day.
On your own
With CleverMate
Getting started
A weekend, a mini computer and a lot of forum tabs.
Everything planned as one system before anything is bought.
The network
Devices join the home wifi and compete for it.
A network built for the house first, so nothing drops out.
What’s included
Whatever you can get working yourself.
Every device, wired in properly and made reliable.
Other platforms
Whichever apps you configure, if you configure them.
Apple, Google and Alexa running side by side.
Automations
As many as you have evenings to build.
Presence, energy, weather and logic, built and maintained by us.
When it breaks
Forums, and working out which device is at fault.
Local support from design through install, tuning and future changes.
Three years on
Updates, breaking changes and a config only you understand.
Built on open standards and kept updated, so it keeps taking new gear.
On your own
Set up a server, add integrations one at a time, then maintain the updates and the config yourself.
Best for people who enjoy the tinkering as much as the result.
Standalone alarm company
Best when you want a familiar alarm setup focused on entry points, alarm zones and monitoring options. It can be useful, but usually sits separately from lighting and blind routines.
Covers: alarm zones · Installed by: provider or installer · Support: often monitoring and service calls · Resale: known alarm setup may help
With CleverMate
Everything is planned as one home system before anything is bought, then built, hosted in the house and kept updated by us.
Built on open standards with Apple, Google and Alexa side by side, and local support when things change.
