Home Assistant is an open platform that brings smart relays, sensors, climate control and your inverter into one app. It runs on a small server in your home, so automations keep working when the internet goes down or a manufacturer's cloud is unavailable. We install the server and Zigbee coordinator, connect your devices and set up automations. We also do the electrical wiring, network and panel work ourselves, so the system sits on a solid foundation and runs reliably.
We pick hardware to match the size of the system: Home Assistant Green, a mini PC or a Raspberry Pi. We install and update the system, lock it down with a password and power the server from a UPS or inverter so it stays on during outages.
We install a Zigbee coordinator and place it so the signal reaches the panel and the far rooms. Then we add relays, sensors and buttons — Zigbee devices work without Wi-Fi and without the cloud.
Shelly, Sonoff and Tuya (Smart Life) relays, air conditioners, water heaters, TVs. Shelly and Zigbee devices work locally; some Tuya and Sonoff Wi-Fi devices rely on the manufacturer's cloud, and we'll suggest models that don't. Ajax is connected where an available integration allows it.
We connect your inverter (Deye and other models with a working integration), meters and relays with power metering. One screen shows how much the solar panels are producing, the battery level and what uses the most power in the house.
Lights on motion sensors and schedules, room-by-room temperature, boiler and underfloor heating control. A dedicated power outage automation: as soon as the grid drops, the system switches off the water heater and other heavy loads so the battery lasts for what matters.
We set up secure remote access, automatic backups to a separate drive or cloud storage, and show the whole family how to use the app and dashboards.
Tell us what you already have and what you'd like to automate. A list of devices or a photo of the panel helps us gauge the scope right away.
An engineer checks the wiring, panel and Wi-Fi coverage, then proposes a server, coordinator and list of automations. You get the price before any work starts.
We install the server and coordinator and, if needed, relays in wall boxes and the panel. Then we connect devices, build dashboards and set up automations.
We show you how to use the system and change simple settings, and make the first backup. All accounts and passwords stay with you.
Prices are for labour only; equipment is extra. You can buy it yourself or order it from us. We confirm the exact total after the inspection — it depends on the number of devices and automations.

Manufacturer apps work well as long as everything is from one brand and their servers are up. Home Assistant brings different brands together, allows more advanced automations — based on the inverter's battery level, for example — and runs them locally. If you only have a few relays from one brand and simple schedules, the brand's own app is enough, and we'll tell you so.
Without internet, local devices and automations carry on as usual; only control from outside the home and cloud-dependent devices become unavailable. To ride out power cuts, we run the server, router and coordinator from a UPS or inverter — the system keeps working and manages the load on its own.
For a flat or a small house, Home Assistant Green — a ready-made device with the system preinstalled — is enough. With many devices or extra services, a mini PC is the better choice. A Raspberry Pi works too, but with an SSD instead of a memory card for reliability.
Deye and many other inverters connect through local integrations — via a Wi-Fi logger or a cable, depending on the model. Ajax connects with limitations: you can usually see the arming state and alarms, but you won't get full control of every Ajax device. We'll tell you what is possible with your setup after the inspection.
Yes. We'll take the system on for maintenance and get it working properly: review the configuration, add devices, set up automations and backups. If a device itself is faulty, we'll arrange warranty or paid repair through a service centre.
Home Assistant itself is free. For remote access there is an optional paid Home Assistant Cloud subscription, but you can do without it by using a VPN on your router. We'll discuss which suits you best when planning.
Same rates for the work and the same warranty as in Kyiv. A site visit in the region starts at 2,000 ₴ and is credited toward the job.
