Smart Homes Hamilton · Powered by 2E Electrical
A Smarter Home.
Without Starting Again.
Smart lighting, heating, hot water, blinds, gates, pools and energy monitoring, professionally installed by 2E Electrical.
Smart technology for new homes and clever retrofits for the home you already have.
The invisible layer
A Shelly module sits behind your existing switch.
Your home doesn't need to be new
Your home may already have everything we need.
Making your home smarter doesn't mean replacing everything. Depending on the job, compact Shelly modules can be installed behind existing switches, near equipment or in the switchboard.
Your switches can still work normally. You simply add useful features such as schedules, automation, remote control and energy monitoring.
Your lounge light can still have a normal wall switch. But now it could also:
- · Turn on automatically at sunset
- · Switch off when everyone leaves
- · Be controlled remotely
- · Form part of a "Goodnight" scene
- · Work with other smart-home systems
What can we make smart?
From one light switch to the whole house.
Seventeen areas of the home we can automate, each installed and configured by licensed electricians. Start with whichever matters most.
Smart Lighting
Existing switches, new lighting, dimming, schedules, scenes, sunset control and whole-home lighting automation.
ExploreSmart Hot Water
Control when your hot water cylinder heats and coordinate it with household routines, electricity pricing or available solar.
ExploreSmart Heating & Heat Pumps
Smarter scheduling and control of heating systems, heat pumps and compatible heating equipment.
ExploreEnergy Monitoring
Monitor whole-home consumption or individual circuits to understand where electricity is actually being used.
ExploreSolar + Smart Home
Connect energy monitoring and automation with household solar to make better use of the electricity you generate.
ExplorePools & Spas
Automate pool pumps, filtration, heating, lighting and suitable associated equipment.
ExploreElectric Blinds & Curtains
Automatic opening and closing based on time, sunrise, sunset or other automation rules.
ExploreGarage Doors & Gates
Smart control and status monitoring for compatible garage doors and driveway or pedestrian gates.
ExploreOutdoor Living
Deck and patio lighting, outdoor heaters and pumps on schedules and scenes.
ExploreBathrooms
Automate extractor fans, heated towel rails, lighting and suitable heating based on schedules, humidity or occupancy.
ExploreVentilation
Extractor fans and ventilation that run on humidity and schedules, not on forgotten switches.
ExploreAppliances & Circuits
Automate individual appliances and circuits so gear runs only when it should.
ExploreIrrigation & Gardens
Garden irrigation and pumps on schedules and weather-aware rules, not on memory.
ExploreSecurity & Occupancy
Occupancy-aware lighting, realistic away modes and integration with compatible security systems.
ExploreEV Charging
EV chargers on schedules, coordinated with solar, night rates and the rest of the house.
ExploreSmart Home Retrofit
Your existing home made smart without a full rewire. Your normal switches stay exactly that.
ExploreArchitectural Homes & New Builds
Lighting, heating, blinds, energy monitoring, solar and EV charging designed in as one electrical system from day one.
ExploreThe technology we install
Why we use Shelly.
Shelly produces professional smart relays, energy meters, controllers and sensors that let electrical equipment be controlled and monitored intelligently. It's the technology we install and recommend, flexible enough to retrofit and serious enough for a new build.
Retrofit Friendly
Many Shelly devices work with your existing electrical installation, behind switches, near equipment or at the switchboard.
Keep Your Switches
Smart functionality doesn't have to mean replacing every familiar wall switch. The smart layer sits alongside normal control.
Start Small
Start with one problem and add more later. Your smart home can grow as you find more things worth automating.
Energy Monitoring
Selected Shelly equipment provides real-time power and energy information, circuit by circuit.
Local Automation
Suitable Shelly configurations can run automations locally, not only through cloud services.
Open & Flexible
Shelly integrates with major smart-home ecosystems and automation platforms.
Smart Homes Hamilton is an independent installer of Shelly products and is not affiliated with or operated by Shelly.
Start with one annoying thing
You don't have to make the whole house smart.
Start with the thing that annoys you. Fix one problem first. Once the infrastructure is there, we can build from it.
Tell Us What Annoys You- 01The towel rail everyone forgets to turn off
- 02The pool pump running longer than it needs to
- 03The outside lights still on at 10am
- 04Your hot water heating from the grid while solar power is being exported
- 05Wondering whether you actually shut the garage door
- 06The heat pump running in an empty room
Smart scenes
What automation feels like.
Less about the technology, more about the house quietly doing the right thing at the right time.
Good Morning
- Blinds open
- Selected lights come on
- Towel rails switch off
- Heating adjusts
- The house gets ready with you
These are examples. Every installation is different, and we set scenes up around how you actually live.
Solar + smart home
Make more of your own solar.
Generating solar electricity is one part of the equation. Smart control can shift suitable loads into the hours your panels are producing, so you run the house on your own generation instead of exporting it.
- Hot water
- Pool filtration
- Pool heating
- EV charging where supported
- Selected appliances
- Heating or cooling strategies
Energy monitoring
Know what's actually using the power.
See where your electricity is actually going. Depending on the installation, we can monitor circuits including:
- Whole house
- Hot water
- Heat pump
- Pool
- EV charger
- Kitchen loads
- Workshop
- Solar
- Other significant circuits
Residential monitoring only. For advanced commercial and farm energy monitoring, see ESCOUT.
Architectural homes & new builds
Build smart from the start.
Planning automation early lets lighting, heating, blinds, energy monitoring, solar and EV charging work together as part of the home's electrical design.
We work with homeowners, builders, architects and designers across Hamilton, Cambridge and Te Awamutu.
Plan a Smart Home
It still needs to work like a normal house
Smart when you want it.
Normal when you don't.
A visitor, grandparent, babysitter or child shouldn't need an app just to turn on a light. Where practical, we design systems so normal physical controls stay intuitive while automation runs quietly in the background. Technology should simplify the house, not make it harder to live in.
Integrations
Works with the platforms you already use.
We don't promise compatibility for every installation. We select appropriate equipment and integration based on your requirements. The systems below are commonly part of that.
Plus other compatible platforms and protocols depending on hardware.
Professional installation
Smart home. Properly wired.
This isn't a DIY gadget store. Smart Homes Hamilton is powered by 2E Electrical, local Hamilton electricians with over 25 years' experience. Our team assesses your existing installation, selects appropriate smart controls, installs and configures the equipment, and shows you how to use it.
