What do our clients have to say about Clever Home
automation?

"My wife and I are
totally happy with the comprehensive home automation service
provided by Clever Home. Even now, Clever Home continues to provide exceptional follow up
service and support, months after completing our
home automation.
Dealing directly with
Clever Home without going through any third parties worked really well. We contracted
Clever Home, and the installing
electricians worked from Clever Home's automation plans. As our project
progressed we also became increasingly pleased that we had not relied on an electrician
only for our home automation.
Our home automation touch
screen is a delight to use, and blends in beautifully with our glass wall switches,
as they all have the same Saturn style black glass surround or facia. Clever Home improved
the aesthetics further by making the colours of the on-screen graphics complement the
black glass touch screen surround.
Clever Home produced a customised graphic touch
screen interface for our home that is easy-to-use and comprehensive, as well
as attractive. They also kept accessible on the touch screen home automation functions
that we may easily change ourselves: |

I still get a little
buzz from seeing the automatic lights in remote
areas of our home fading on and off on the touch screen
floor plans, and being able to centrally monitor the open/close state of our garage and
perimeter doors.
Our automatic C-Bus lighting
inside and outside is really convenient. It also reduces our electricity bills
by automatically turning off unnecessary lighting, as evidenced by our modest power bills.
After adjusting sensors in each room to our preference, the automatic lighting works like
a charm. When we need manual lighting control, we just disable the automatic lighting
sensors temporarily using thoughtfully programmed wall switches.
I didn't fully appreciate how special the Linn audio video
equipment is until we moved in and started listening to our favourite tracks - which now
have a new lease of life. We also enjoy an impressively natural home
theater experience from the really neat Linn
Classik Movie driving high quality in-wall speakers and a Linn Sizmik Subwoofer.
Our Linn Classik Music
pumps out quality stereo sound through full range in-wall speakers in the Master bedroom.
Aside from being arguably the ultimate quality alarm clock radio/CD, the Classik Music
transforms the experience of watching films/programs on our LCD screen, and is an integral
part of our Linn multi-room audio.
I still can't get over the amazingly big sound produced by the Linn multi-room audio in
our large open Dining and Living area from only four discrete in-ceiling speakers. It
really rocks!
Access control of our
front door is a breeze. Visitors are greeted with a very attractive flush stainless
steel video intercom. We can clearly see and talk with visitors from any of
the three inside video intercom stations, and then let them in. Pictures of visitors that
came while we were away are also stored for our review later.
We routinely enter or leave through our locked front door without keys
using security keypads on each side, and may remotely let trusted friends or relatives in
by sending an SMS.
Our access control is
supervised by a professional Inner Range Concept
4000 security panel, which has been skilfully integrated with our home
automation. This also sends us specific SMS security messages when required if we are away
from home.
When we started out, we knew we wanted to enhance our new home with
quality home automation, but needed professional help. Clever Home
patiently helped us understand our options and select what we wanted, and then made it
happen. They also ensured that the quality of our home automation
system exceeded our expectations, while delivering the bundle of home
automation benefits that we requested. My wife and I now have a great home
automation system, and know how to use and enjoy it properly. What more can you ask?" |

"I
first came across "Cleverhome" during a google search trying to make sense of
all the "smarthouse" technology out in the market and how it might be put to use
in a period
style renovation.
Brendan
Rogers knows how to make it all happen and has immense enthusiasm for his
work. During the planning and construction of the renovation, he solved countless issues
that were way too difficult for electricians, builders and architects. Now we have
integrated automatic lighting, louvre control, door locks, security,
and computer
LAN throughout the house: Cleverhome planned and organized
the lot.
Of course they can do much more: take a look at the Web site. But
don't be baffled and put off by the complexity of it all. Cleverhome is extremely
thorough, and they can also put it all together! They are right up with the absolute
latest in equipment and software programming
to make it work.
Brendan is also able to think beyond the "standard"
applications of the technology: by listening to our special requests, he managed to
"hide" it all away and blend into our 120 year old house as if it was wired when
power first came to the place!" |

"I would like to
express our sincere appreciation for the way in which your Company has designed,
implemented and managed the installation of our Clipsal
Minder and C-Bus system.
Your input and advice certainly went beyond reasonable expectations
and the fact that we are still able to seek your advice certainly makes our transition to
"smart home" technology a smooth one.
Your ability to communicate intricate coding instructions into easily
understood layman terms has enabled us to undertake minor modifications to our system.
This has certainly given us confidence in using the system. The system is even more convenient
than I expected..." |
