SMART HOME SYSTEMS

Outdoor & Garden

Your outdoor spaces should feel easy to enjoy, not complicated to manage.

Gardens & outdoor spaces—engineered to work together

Outdoor automation only works when every component is designed as part of a complete system.
‍
AST takes a system-level approach, ensuring reliable operation across electrical, networking, control, and automation layers.

We design outdoor environments that respond to schedules, conditions, and how you actually use the space—without juggling multiple controllers, apps, or workarounds.

Why integrated outdoor control matters

Outdoor systems are often installed independently, resulting in inefficiency, poor coordination, and unnecessary complexity.

AST integrates everything into one cohesive automation platform—engineered for longevity and ease of use.

One interface for pool, spa, and garden systems

Coordinated scheduling across outdoor zones

Automated safety and protection logic

Reduced energy and water waste

Clear accountability for the entire system

Outdoor automation extends beyond the pool. AST integrates garden lighting and irrigation systems so they operate intelligently, efficiently, and in sync with the rest of the outdoor environment.

Outdoor systems we commonly integrate

We work with a wide range of pool, spa, and outdoor systems, selecting hardware based on reliability, compatibility, and long-term support—not brand lock-in.

Zone-based outdoor control—done properly

Outdoor areas have different requirements and usage patterns.
‍
AST designs zone-based control so pool, spa, garden, and lighting zones operate independently while still working together.

This is flexibility without fragmentation.

This allows:

Separate schedules for different outdoor zones

Efficient heating, lighting, and watering control

Simple scene activation for entertaining

Clear separation of safety-critical systems

Automation that works in the background

Outdoor automation should feel invisible—doing its job without constant attention. AST designs automations that respond intelligently to time, conditions, and usage patterns.

All core functions run locally for reliability, not cloud dependency.

Examples include:

Pool heating enabled only when required

Filtration optimised for efficiency

Garden lights responding to sunset and schedules

Irrigation adjusted seasonally

Automatic shutdowns for equipment protection

QUIET RELIABILITY

A more enjoyable, reliable outdoor environment—engineered properly

When outdoor systems are engineered as part of a unified platform, they become easier to use, cheaper to run, and far more reliable over time.

AST delivers outdoor living automation that feels calm, dependable, and thoughtfully designed—so your outdoor spaces simply work, day after day.

Ready for pool, spa and outdoor spaces that manage themselves?

If your pool, spa, or garden systems feel harder to operate than they should—or you're planning an upgrade or renovation.
