Smart home not working?

The app won't connect, lights or scenes don't respond, music stopped, or half the house works and half doesn't. And the installer isn't answering. We find the root cause and fix it.

Root cause first

Let's go to the root cause before anything gets replaced.

In most homes we visit, the fault is one of four things: the network, a failed power supply, lost or corrupted programming, or a single failed device taking others down with it. Replacing hardware before knowing which one wastes your money.

We work across C-Bus, Dynalite, Savant, Fibaro, alarms, cameras, intercoms and Ubiquiti networks, so one visit covers the lot instead of a different trade for each system.

We had issues with our C-Bus home automation system. Thankfully Chris and his team diagnosed the issue and also advised on a future upgrade. Appreciate the professional manner in which the problem was resolved.

Chris & Callan worked very long & hard to resolve our intercom problems & helped with other technical issues as well. They were reliable, friendly & responsive. I recommend them highly.

I rarely give a 5 star review but Beachside Electrical Solutions deserve one. On time, great job, cleaned up after themselves.

How a service visit works

Three steps, no surprises.

  1. Tell us what's happeningWhat's not working, when it started and what changed. A phone call is often enough to narrow it down.
  2. Diagnose on siteWe check the network, power supplies, programming and devices, and find the one causing the problem.
  3. Fix and documentWe fix it, test the whole system and document what's there. If more is needed, you get a few options at different price points.
Questions

Common questions

Which systems do you fix?

C-Bus, Dynalite, Savant, SpaceLogic, Fibaro, CoolAutomation, Ness, Elk, Inner Range, Bosch, Ajax and Gallagher alarms, Dahua and Hikvision cameras, Aiphone intercoms and Ubiquiti networks.

Can you diagnose it remotely?

Sometimes. If there's remote access to the system we can often see what's wrong before attending. Otherwise we'll talk it through on the phone first.

Should I replace the whole system?

Usually not. Most systems can be repaired or upgraded in parts. We'll tell you plainly if something is past fixing.

Can you work on a system someone else installed?

Yes. Most of our service work is on systems installed by others.

How do I stop this happening again?

A care plan includes remote monitoring, updates and an on-site health check, so problems are picked up early.
