Tech Guidance & Planning

Not sure what to buy? We'll recommend the right devices for your space and budget. No upselling — just honest, experience-backed advice.

  • Product recommendations for your space and goals
  • Compatibility checks across all platforms
  • Ecosystem advice — Hue vs Tapo, Alexa vs Google
  • Plan to expand later — start small, build over time
Common questions — tap to read
"Which smart lighting system is right for me?"
We compare Philips Hue, LIFX and Tapo based on your home size, budget and whether you need a hub. Most clients start with Hue for reliability.
"Alexa or Google — which should I get?"
Both work well. Alexa has broader device compatibility. Google is better if you're already in that ecosystem. We set up both if needed.
"Can I add devices later without redoing everything?"
Yes — we design every system to be expandable. Adding a new device is usually plug-and-configure. We can do that remotely in most cases.
"How much does a full setup typically cost?"
Starter setups from around £300–600 including devices and our time. We always quote before starting — no surprises.
Ongoing Support

Smart homes shouldn't stop working when your installer leaves. We're here for the long run — remote support, in-person visits, scheduled check-ins.

  • Remote support for updates, errors, or syncing
  • Help adding new devices to your existing system
  • Adjustments to scenes, voice commands, dashboards
  • System health checks and optional callouts

About HausCtrl
Built around how you actually live.
Jordy Verwerft, founder of HausCtrl
Founder · HausCtrl
Jordy Verwerft

I started HausCtrl because most smart-home installers either oversell you a £30k system you don't need, or hand you a box of kit and wish you luck. I wanted something in between — someone who comes to your house, listens to how you actually live, and sets up something that quietly works.

No subscriptions. No proprietary lock-in. Just the brands you've already heard of (Hue, Tado, Sonos, Yale) configured properly so they feel like one system instead of five apps.

If it sounds useful, the consultation is free — and I'll happily talk you out of features you don't need.

HausCtrl is here to help people enjoy the benefits of smart home technology without the confusion. We saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between smart devices and real everyday living — not just installing gadgets, but designing experiences that fit a modern lifestyle.

Our approach is hands-on, personalised, and built around you. We take care of the technology, the setup, and the training. When professional electrical work is required, it's carried out by a certified electrician we source and supervise for you.

No guesswork. Just a home that works smarter — and feels effortless.
