Smart sensors, South East Queensland
Smart sensors for motion, doors, windows and other connected areas of the home, with alerts and automations designed around how you want the property to respond.
Smart sensors for the home
Smart sensors can do more than tell you whether something has opened or moved.
When they are properly connected to the wider smart home system, they can trigger lighting, send alerts, support access control and form part of other automated functions around the property.
We install motion, contact, window and entry door sensors as part of our broader smart home offering.
What sensors monitor, and what they can trigger
A sensor becomes more useful when it is connected to the rest of the home.
What smart sensors can monitor
- 01Motion
Motion sensors can detect activity in selected areas and be used as part of lighting, security or other automated functions.
- 02Doors
Contact sensors can show when compatible doors are opened or closed and can form part of a wider access or alert setup.
- 03Windows
Window sensors can monitor opening and closing and feed that information into the connected smart home system.
- 04Entry points
Sensors can be used around key access points to provide greater visibility over what is happening around the home.
Sensors can trigger other actions
- 01Automated lighting
Depending on the system, sensor information can switch lighting on or off as part of programmed actions.
- 02Access control
Sensors can form part of compatible access control setups for doors, gates and entry points.
- 03Security-related alerts
Triggered sensors can send alerts so you know when something changes around the home.
- 04Climate management
Sensor information can feed into automated climate management where the wider system supports it.
- 05Other programmed actions
Sensors can also be used as part of other programmed smart home actions.
Alerts when something changes
One of the practical benefits of connected sensors is being able to receive information without needing to physically check each part of the home.
- 01Motion detected
- 02Door opened
- 03Window opened
Our smart home setups can send real-time alerts to your phone when relevant sensors are triggered. The exact notifications and actions will depend on the devices and wider smart home setup installed.
Built into the wider smart home system
We do not treat sensors as standalone gadgets where the project calls for a more integrated setup.
Sensors can be considered alongside Matter and Thread infrastructure, smart lighting, smart power and connected doors or gates so the different parts of the home can work together.
This also allows the network and electrical requirements to be considered from the start rather than added piece by piece later.
Why choose us
Integrated smart home capability
Sensors can be planned alongside lighting, access control, switching and other connected systems rather than installed in isolation.
Matter and Thread systems
Our smart home offering includes Matter over Thread and local mesh infrastructure for compatible devices.
Electrical capability
Where electrical work is needed as part of the wider smart home project, that can be considered within the same scope.
Ongoing support
Ongoing support is available where required once your sensors are installed.
Our process
Tell us what you want to monitor
We start with the areas of the home you want visibility over and what you want to happen when a sensor is triggered.
01We review the existing setup
We look at the smart home and electrical infrastructure already in place.
02We plan the sensors and automations
We determine where sensors are required and how they should interact with the wider system.
03We install and configure
The approved sensors and connected smart home components are installed and configured.
04We test the system
We check that sensors, alerts and programmed actions are working as intended.

Frequently asked questions
What types of smart sensors do you install?
We install motion, contact, window and entry door sensors as part of our smart home services.
Can sensors send alerts to my phone?
Yes. Real-time phone alerts can be set up as part of the sensor system.
Can sensors control my lighting?
Potentially. Sensors can be integrated with compatible smart lighting and automated functions as part of the wider system.
Can sensors be used with doors and gates?
Yes. Access controls and gates are also part of our broader smart home services and can be considered alongside the sensor setup.
Do the sensors need a separate smart home network?
That depends on the system being installed. Our smart home approach includes Matter and Thread local mesh infrastructure for compatible devices.
