Service
Smart home retrofitting and lighting control
Retrofit lighting, timing and scenes on existing circuits. On request entirely local, without an outside server reading along.
- DIN VDE 0100-559
What we do
Retrofitting on existing circuits, without altering the installation.
- Lighting control: dimming, scenes, motion and presence control
- Timing, so that devices are de-energised outside opening hours
- Retrofitting in existing buildings with KNX, Shelly or Homematic, whichever suits the building and the budget
- Integrating existing components instead of replacing everything
Who it is for
Studios where light is part of the treatment. Practices with waiting and treatment areas that should be lit differently. Businesses that want to reduce running costs without starting a refit.
Where we stand on this
We do not build a system that stops working without an internet connection, and none that only we can maintain. You receive access credentials and documentation. Whatever can run locally, runs locally. That is not ideology but the experience that every cloud service eventually changes its terms.
What you receive
- Installation and integration of the components
- Setting up scenes and schedules as agreed
- Handover of the access credentials, documented and belonging to you
- A briefing so that you can make adjustments yourself

FAQ
Questions about this service
Do I need a cloud for this?
No, and we usually advise against it. Lighting, schedules and scenes also run entirely locally. That stays operable when the internet fails, and no questions arise about who sees which data and when. If you want remote access, we set it up deliberately and explain it.
Can this be done without chasing walls and dust?
In most cases yes. Wireless components behind switches and in luminaires manage without new cabling. Where a bus cable makes more sense, we say so and you decide.
What happens if you are no longer available one day?
You receive all access credentials, the configuration and documentation. We use components that others can maintain too, and we do not build a system that only works with us.
Is it worthwhile for a studio?
If the lighting is meant to change between consultation and treatment, if the lights should not be on in every room in the evening, or if devices should be de-energised at set times: yes. As a gimmick it is not worthwhile, and we say that too.
