What stays
Your walls, wiring, and switches
The switchboard design stays familiar and every switch continues to work normally at the wall.
- Existing electrical circuits
- Current wall plates and switches
- Everyday manual operation
Smart switch retrofitting
Make your existing switches smart.
We retrofit automation behind your current switchboards without disturbing the existing wiring. Your familiar wall switches keep working, while you gain app control, schedules, scenes, and remote access.
- No full rewiring
- No new switchboard style
- Manual control stays
Before
Existing switchboard
Connected
Same switches. Smarter control.
Living room
Built for finished homes
Automation that fits into what you already have.
Retrofitting upgrades the control layer of your electrical system instead of replacing the whole installation. Compact smart modules are added behind compatible switchboards and connected to the circuits already in place.
What gets added
A discreet layer of smart control
Automation modules and software add convenient control without changing how the room feels.
- Control from your phone
- Schedules, timers, and scenes
- Remote access and shared control
A site check confirms switchboard space, circuit compatibility, and the right module for each load before installation.
Why retrofit
A smarter home, without starting over.
Upgrade one room or the whole property while keeping the parts of your home that already work.
Less disruption
Avoid the dust, wall cutting, and lengthy work associated with a full electrical redesign.
Familiar for everyone
Family members and guests can still use the physical switches exactly as they do today.
Flexible by design
Start with lights and fans, then add more rooms, schedules, or scenes when you are ready.
Useful every day
Turn everything off at once, schedule routines, and check connected switches remotely.
From switch to smart
A simple retrofit process.
We plan around your present installation, not an imaginary new one.
Survey the space
We review the switchboards, loads, wiring condition, connectivity, and the routines you want to automate.
Plan the retrofit
We map compatible modules to your existing circuits and confirm exactly what will be installed.
Install and configure
The modules are fitted, controls are configured, and manual operation is tested before handover.
Common questions
Retrofitting, explained.
Practical answers before we look at your switchboards.
Will my existing switches still work?
Yes. A compatible retrofit keeps physical switch control available, so the app is an additional option rather than the only way to operate a light or appliance.
Do you need to replace the existing wiring?
Our retrofit approach is designed to work with existing wiring without a full rewire. We first check wiring condition, neutral availability, load type, and switchboard space to confirm compatibility.
Can I automate only a few switches?
Yes. You can begin with a room, a set of high-use lights and fans, or another focused area and expand later.
