How to get started
A conversation.
Then a clear plan.
Tell David what you need
Choose this service on the enquiry form and describe the outcome you want. No payment or files are needed to start.
Agree the scope
We check suitability and availability, then confirm the brief, full price, timing, access and any separate costs.
Work and handover
The agreed work is completed and checked with you, with a practical handover and any next steps made clear.
Before we begin
Clear about the details.
Is this ready for any smart-home system?
No. It is conditional on an existing supported Home Assistant installation, compatible devices and a successful test rehearsal. David confirms suitability and availability before accepting work.
Does the price include hardware or electrical installation?
No. Hardware, hub installation, electrical fitting, subscriptions, travel and new integrations are separate. You provide compatible working equipment.
Can you automate locks, alarms, heating or care equipment?
These are excluded from this starter. It covers simple non-critical convenience routines, with manual override and an agreed recovery route.
Will it guarantee savings or always work?
No energy-saving, security or uptime outcome is guaranteed. Device availability, internet and provider changes can affect routines. Ongoing support would need a separate agreement.
