Smart home with Home Assistant in Aargau

Your home, automated – controlled locally, without the cloud and without a monthly subscription. I build smart-home systems on Home Assistant that keep working offline and belong to you. I'm based in Aargau: on-site visits across the Freiamt and in Aarau, Baden, Wohlen and the surrounding area are the normal case.

Sound familiar?

A smart home that's more hassle than help

  • Every lamp and sensor needs its own app and a cloud somewhere abroad.
  • The moment the internet or a vendor's server hiccups, half the house stops working.
  • The voice assistant is listening – and nobody quite knows where the data goes.
  • A KNX or Loxone quote costs a multiple of what an open, maintainable setup would.

What I build for the home

A smart home that belongs to you

Home Assistant hub

One central controller for lights, blinds, heating, sensors, media and more – across brands, locally on your own hardware. More on the Home Assistant page →

Local voice control

Voice commands that stay in the house – no Amazon, Google or Apple. On request with a speech model running directly on the device.

Zigbee, Z-Wave & Matter

Robust radio standards instead of cloud gadgets: one network for all devices that also works offline. Existing devices are usually reused.

Advice & on-site install

From planning through installation to handover – on site in Aargau. You get a documented system you can operate and extend yourself.

Why local

Your house, your data, no subscription

Runs without the cloud

The control logic lives in your home – automations keep running even if the internet drops or a provider shuts down.

Data stays in the house

Motion, cameras, voice commands: nothing quietly travels to a corporation abroad. You decide what leaves the house.

Open & extendable

Open source, handed over documented – no lock-in. You can extend it yourself or bring in someone else at any time.

How it works

From first look to handover

01 Intro call & site look kostenlos

We look at what you want and what's already there – in Aargau gladly on site. You get a clear plan with fixed key figures.

02 Build in steps

Set up the hub, integrate devices, create automations and scenes – step by step, without turning the house into a building site.

03 Handover & operation

Handed over documented so you can operate everything yourself. On request I maintain and extend the system long-term.

“I don't build a mess of gadgets, I build a house that quietly works – the way I run my own.”

  • Expansion (blinds, heating, voice, solar/EV charging) by scope – clearly quoted

The goal is a smart home that's predictable and yours. Where an off-the-shelf product is enough, I'll say so.

FAQ

Good to know

More: for your home · Home Assistant.

Do you come to my home for the installation?
Yes. I'm based in Aargau myself, so on-site visits across the Freiamt and in Aarau, Baden, Wohlen, Bremgarten, Muri, Lenzburg and the surrounding area are the normal case – from the first look to the installation. For the rest of Switzerland I work remotely or by arrangement.
Is this an alternative to KNX or Loxone?
In many cases, yes. Home Assistant controls lights, blinds, heating, sensors and media across brands – often far cheaper and more flexible than a closed KNX or Loxone system, and without lock-in to a single vendor. Where a wired solution really is the better fit, I'll say so.
Does the smart home work without internet?
Yes. The control logic runs locally on a small device in your home – automations, lights and scenes keep working even if the internet or a vendor's server goes down. Remote access is possible, but optional and encrypted.
Which devices can I integrate?
Home Assistant supports thousands of devices over Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Wi-Fi and more – from lights and blinds to thermostats, EV chargers and solar systems. Existing devices can usually be reused; we rarely need to buy everything new.
Is a voice assistant listening in?
No, that can be avoided. On request I set up local voice control that sends nothing to Amazon, Google or Apple – your voice commands stay in the house.
