What You Get With HouseControl

Dedicated Server

A compact device (mini PC, Pi, or micro‑server) installed in your home, running the HouseControl system locally.

Personal Family Portal

Your own secure subdomain for remote access — like familyname.housecontrol.au — no VPN or open ports needed.

Custom Dashboards

Dashboards tailored to your devices, layout, and daily routines — built by us to your requirements, enjoyed by you.

Vast Variations of Sensors

At the core of HouseControl is a local mesh network that unites your sensors, cameras and IoT devices through one Home Assistant instance — gathering temperature, movement, door locks, lights and audio, all securely within your premises. No cloud, no third parties, just your home working as one.

Ongoing Support^

Because we built your system, we're invested in making sure you get the most out of it. This isn't a one-off sale — not set up and left to hope it works. HouseControl provides ongoing maintenance so it's never a short-lived system. Backed by a long-standing, reputable Adelaide company, we keep your system running smoothly, and whenever you need support, you get it locally — not from an overseas call centre.

Hardware Included

No need to pay for hardware that would otherwise cost thousands of dollars — the core system is included in your monthly plan on a rolling annual direct debit. Because it's an open-source system, you can buy whatever sensors and devices you like: Home Assistant is one of the most popular home automation platforms and supports a vast array of custom sensors. And to make sure you pick well, we also have locally tested and rebuilt sensors and devices. Cancel within 30 days of contract start or at the end of your plan term.
