Empowering smart homes, offices
& modern digital spaces

We unify compatible devices under one intelligent automation platform so your home behaves consistently instead of relying on dozens of disconnected apps. Automations are engineered to run reliably, locally, and in ways that reflect how you actually live—reducing friction, complexity, and ongoing maintenance.

This is not about adding more technology. It's about consolidating what you already have into a single, dependable system that feels simple to use and easy to trust.

Why unified control matters

Most smart homes fail not because of bad devices, but because nothing is designed to work together. Lights, blinds, climate, security, and media often run in isolation—each with its own logic, app, and failure point.

Unified control solves this by treating the home as a system rather than a collection of products. The result is consistency, predictability, and a far better day-to-day experience.

‍What this enables:

One interface instead of multiple apps

Predictable behaviour across rooms and systems

Doesn’t break when one service goes offline

Open, flexible automation — no vendor lock-in

AST designs automation systems around open platforms rather than proprietary ecosystems. This allows us to integrate a wide range of compatible devices across lighting, blinds, climate, security, energy monitoring, and sensors—without forcing you into a single brand or vendor.

Your system remains adaptable over time, making upgrades and changes possible without rebuilding everything from scratch.

Long-term flexibility and scalability

Control that stays with the homeowner

Unified control platforms we work with

We design unified control systems using open, proven automation platforms chosen for stability, flexibility, and long-term support—not proprietary lock-in.

Each platform is selected based on the home’s systems, complexity, automation goals, and the level of control required—ensuring everything works together as one reliable experience.

AST works with open, extensible control platforms trusted globally to unify lighting, climate, security, media, and energy into a single, dependable interface.

OFFLINE CAPABILITY

Automation that works
even when the internet doesn't

Wherever possible, automations are designed to operate locally rather than relying on cloud services. amplifying reliability and ensuring essential functions continue even during internet outages.

Lights still respond. Climate control still runs. Security logic still functions.

This is the difference between consumer automation and engineered automation.

Designed around real life, not demos

We don't design automations to look impressive during handover. We design them to work quietly and consistently every day.

Scenes, schedules, and triggers are built around real routines—morning, evening, arrival, departure—so the system feels natural rather than intrusive.

Clean, intuitive interfaces

Unified control only works if the interface is clear and intuitive. We configure dashboards and controls to be minimal, logical, and easy to use—whether on a phone, tablet, or wall-mounted display. No clutter. No unnecessary options. Just the controls you actually need.

Built on a reliable network foundation

A Solid Foundation

Automation reliability depends entirely on network stability. Unified control is always delivered after a properly engineered network foundation—ensuring devices respond instantly and consistently.

If the network isn't stable, automation will never be either.
