WHO WE ARE

Home automation, done intelligently.

Home technology should feel calm, dependable, and easy to live with — not fragile, fragmented, or confusing.

FIRST PRINCIPLES
We focus on fundamentals first — the parts you don’t see, but feel every day. When those are engineered properly, everything above them becomes simpler, calmer, and more dependable.

a word from our Founder
The AST Foundation
Ascot Smart Tech was founded on a simple idea: if you engineer the system properly from the start, everything else becomes simpler and more reliable. Fewer problems. Fewer workarounds. Fewer things to think about.

We work with homeowners who are tired of unreliable Wi-Fi, half-finished installations, and a growing collection of apps that never quite work together. Our approach is to step back, look at the needs of the homeowners and the whole system, and design it properly — so everything works together, every day.

Not louder.

Not more complicated.

Just done right.

Our story starts with engineering
Ascot Smart Tech is a founder-led consultancy, built on decades of real-world engineering experience.

Before working in homes, our founder spent over 35 years in senior engineering and executive roles across Australia, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. His career was shaped in industries where systems must perform — mining operations, large-scale infrastructure, automated plants, and mission-critical environments where failure isn't tolerated.

That background formed a core belief that still guides everything we do today:
"Good engineering eliminates uncertainty. Poor engineering creates it."
When smart home technology began appearing in premium residences, the pattern was familiar — impressive hardware, but weak foundations. Networks designed as an afterthought. Devices added without a system plan. No single point of reference to resolve issues across systems.

Ascot Smart Tech was created to bring engineering discipline, support, and long-term wholistic thinking into residential technology — without the rigidity, lock-in, or sales pressure common in the industry.
What we actually do
We don't start with products. We start with understanding — your needs and your home.
Our work is focused on three fundamentals:
01
A reliable foundation
Every smart home depends on a stable, well-designed network. Without it, nothing else works properly. We engineer this layer first — deliberately and correctly.
02
One unified system
Lighting, blinds, climate, security, energy, media — brought together into a single, open platform that is intelligently useful and is built for reliability.
03
One focused partner
From first conversation to long-term support, you deal with one expert who understands your home, your setup, your needs and your priorities.
The result is subtle technology that functions in the background — quietly and consistently doing its job.

Everything we do is guided by a set of principles that shape how we design, install, and support systems.

WHY CHOOSE US
The AST Advantage
We are a specialised engineering consultancy. We are not installers or product resellers. And that means:
Advice is based on your needs, not what needs to be sold
Design, specification, installation and operation are explained clearly, without jargon
Designs are built for long-term stability, not short-term wins
Installations are what is required, not what any one installer can supply
Support doesn't disappear once the install is finished
It's a quieter approach — but one that homeowners quickly appreciate.
