Smart Home Automatons Installed

You’ve spent good money on smart lights, a video doorbell, maybe even a full hub setup, and half of it doesn’t work properly. One app for the lights, another for the aircon, a switch that needs a neutral wire your 1970s wiring never had. Your partner’s about ready to rip it all out and go back to normal switches. Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing, most smart home problems aren’t actually smart home problems. They’re wiring problems. Off-the-shelf devices assume your home has neutral wires at every switch point, dedicated circuits for automated loads, and structured cabling that can handle everything talking to each other. Older homes across Melbourne’s west were never built for that.

That’s where we come in. Electrx sets up the wiring, circuits, and cabling your smart home actually needs to run the way it’s supposed to, no drop-outs, no workarounds, no trying to make five apps do one job. We’re REC licensed, so every bit of work is done to Australian standards. Whether you’re starting from scratch or trying to fix a half-finished DIY setup, we’ll get it sorted properly the first time.

The group did an excellent job working through my list of repairs: ceiling fan; smoke detectors; exhaust fan; switch board; and air con unit. I’d happily use Electrx for any future jobs and recommend to friends.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Electrx to install a couple of outdoor lights (with sensors), a motion sensor for an existing car port light, hard-wired doorbell camera, additional GPOs in the kitchen and converted existing recessed ceiling downlights into pendant lights which turned out great! Bill provided a reasonable quote for these works and he and his colleague did the works with care and attention to detail. They also helped me setup the doorbell camera and adjust the light sensors. Izzy was also great to deal with in the lead up to the day of the works. Everyone was responsive and provided details and answers to my questions. Highly recommend and would return again 💫

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work Bill did adding two extra power points and hiding my HDMI cables was so good, he even helped with cable management which is beyond. I also had a EV charger installed which he got done with no problems at all. Thanks so much!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the service from Electrx. The team was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They took the time to understand my needs and recommended an EV charger that was better suited to my usage rather than simply installing the original option. The installation felt personalised to my home and requirements, and the workmanship was excellent. I really appreciated their honest advice and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't speak highly enough of Bill and the work he did today. Not only did he quickly identify the problem, but he also fixed it efficiently and professionally. He took the time to explain everything, was great to deal with, and offered a very fair price. I was so impressed with his knowledge, honesty, and workmanship that he'll be our electrician from now on. A genuinely nice bloke who really knows his trade. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled electrician.

Home automation FAQ’s

Yes. In Australia, any work involving your home’s fixed wiring must be done by a licensed electrician. Smart switches that connect to mains wiring are no exception, it’s a legal requirement, not optional.

Yes, but it needs rewiring at the switch points to add the neutral. This is really common in Melbourne homes built before the 2000s. We do this regularly, it’s straightforward for us.

It varies depending on the number of switches and your home’s existing wiring. A typical smart lighting setup for a 3-bedroom home might run $1,500-$3,000. We’ll give you a fixed quote before starting.

We handle the electrical and wiring side. For app configuration and integration between brands, we recommend working with a home automation specialist after we’ve got the wiring sorted. We can recommend someone if needed.
