Most Popular Plan

$50 / month

A Hub That Lives Behind Your TV

The Performance Hub is mounted behind your TV and comes with its own remote control. It turns your television into the command centre of your home.

From the couch you can see the full HouseControl interface, watch videos, view your CCTV cameras, and control your house alarm system — all from one screen, no phone needed.

Your Smart Home on the Big Screen
What You Get

Everything in Essential, Plus:

  • TV-mounted hub with remote control — browse the interface from your couch
  • Local media server (Jellyfin) — watch your own movies and shows privately
  • CCTV viewing — see your camera feeds on the big screen
  • House alarm control — arm, disarm and monitor from the TV interface
  • Home security with sound alarm and deterrent — integrate your existing cameras into an intruder detection system; a real siren sounds when the perimeter is breached, with simultaneous in-home alerts when someone is lurking and no false triggers to annoy the neighbours
  • Network-wide ad & malicious traffic blocking (AdGuard Home)
  • All Essential Hub features — sensors, automations and presence detection

With more processing power, the Performance Hub comfortably runs multiple services alongside your automation needs.

Who Is the Performance Hub For?

The Performance Hub suits medium to large automation needs, tech-savvy families, and anyone who wants media, camera monitoring, filtering and more advanced automations — all delivered on their TV screen with a remote in hand.

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.
