How to choose a smart home installer in Melbourne

Choose an installer that uses licensed electricians, installs SAA-approved devices, works with more than one platform, and gives a written quote after seeing your home. Before you sign, check these six things:

  1. Licensed electricians for mains wiring. In Victoria, switch and wiring work must be done by a licensed electrician. Arklyfe's mains-wired work is done by licensed Victorian electricians to AS/NZS standards.
  2. SAA-approved devices. Mains-wired switches sold in Australia need electrical safety approval. StellarTrack switches are SAA approved (certificate GMA-528353-EA).
  3. No platform lock-in. Matter devices work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings, so you are not tied to one app or one installer.
  4. A site visit before the quote. Wiring, neutral wires, wall boxes and Wi-Fi coverage vary from house to house. We measure on site (AU$100, credited to your order) and then quote in writing.
  5. Setup and handover included. Ask who pairs the devices, builds the scenes and shows you how it all works. We do this before we leave.
  6. Local support afterwards. We are based in Mitcham, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, with a showroom you can visit by appointment.
