FROM IDEA TO SMART HOME
A simple, transparent process from your first idea to a working smart-home solution.
You don’t need to know which products to buy or which smart-home system is right for you.
Start by telling us what you’d like your home to do. We’ll help you understand the options, recommend suitable technology and explain how the proposed solution could work.
You decide what you want to do. There is no requirement to purchase a particular brand or complete the whole project at once.
Step 1 CONSULT
Tell us what you’d like your home to do.
Every project starts with a conversation.
Tell us what you want to improve, automate or control. It could be something simple such as automatically switching on a hallway light, controlling your heating remotely or creating a complete smart-home system.
We discuss:
- What you want to achieve
- Your existing technology
- Your preferred ecosystem
- Your home and installation requirements
- Your budget

Step 2 RECOMMEND
We find the technology that fits your home.
There are hundreds of smart-home products available. Choosing the right combination can be confusing.
We look at your requirements and recommend suitable products and technologies based on compatibility, functionality, reliability and value.
We consider:
Existing equipment
Apple / Amazon / Google ecosystem
Connectivity
Compatibility
Budget
Future expansion
We can also provide alternative options where there is more than one sensible solution.We discuss:
Step 3 SIMULATE
We find the technology that fits your home.
See how the proposed solution could work before you commit.
Before purchasing products or starting installation, we can demonstrate or simulate the proposed solution where practical.
This helps you understand how devices will interact, what the automation will do and what the finished system is intended to achieve.
Example
Motion detected → hallway light turns on → light switches off automatically after the selected period.
Or:
Room temperature drops → smart heating responds → temperature returns to the desired level.
Then:
The aim is simple: you should understand what you’re buying before you spend your money.
Step 4 DECIDE
You decide what you want to purchase.
Once you’ve seen the proposed solution and understand the costs, you decide whether you’d like to proceed.
You can choose which parts of the proposal you want to implement.
You don’t have to automate your entire home.
Please be aware
No pressure. No requirement to purchase a particular manufacturer.
Step 6 INSTALL
We install and configure the agreed solution.
Once the required products are available, we can install and configure the agreed system.
Installation requirements depend on the products selected and the existing installation in your home.
Then:
Where additional work or materials are required, these will be discussed with you before the work proceeds.
Step 5 PURCHASE
Buy the products yourself or ask Edingar to source them.
Depending on the project, you may purchase the products yourself or Edingar can help source the required equipment.
Before proceeding, we explain the products required and the associated costs.
Transparency
You know what products are being purchased and what they cost.
Step 7 TEST & COMMISSION
We make sure everything works as intended.
Installation isn’t the end of the process.
We test the devices, configure the agreed automations and check that the system works as expected.
We can help with:
- Device configuration
- Smart-home hubs
- Voice assistants
- Automation routines
- Scenes
- Notifications
- User setup
Then:
We also explain the system to you so you can confidently use and manage your smart home.
After installation
BUILD ON WHAT YOU HAVE
Your smart home doesn’t have to be finished on day one.
You can start with lighting, heating or sensors and add more devices later.
Because we consider your future requirements when recommending products, we can help you expand the system as your needs change.

Pricing
CLEAR & TRANSPARENT PRICING
We believe you should understand what you’re paying for before you commit.
Depending on the project, Edingar may charge a service fee based on the scope of the project or a percentage of the product purchase value. Installation and labour may be quoted separately where appropriate.
Any additional work or materials will be discussed before proceeding.
Products
What equipment is required.
Installation
The agreed installation and configuration work.
Additional work
Anything outside the original proposal.
Our aim is simple: no unexpected costs.
