Smart Buildings Make Life Easier
Aotea Automation offers comprehensive design, supply, programming, and installation services for automated systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
Whether it’s lighting and sound automation for your home or an energy-efficient solution for your commercial building, we have you covered. Automating lighting and air conditioning control can greatly contribute to energy savings and environmental sustainability.
Our projects vary from elegant and functional to highly sophisticated, offering flexibility that includes energy management integration
Why We Use Automation?
We use KNX, the world’s only open-source protocol, to seamlessly connect various systems into one user-friendly control panel. KNX ensures all your systems ‘speak the same language’ and allows for future technology additions.
From residential lighting and heating automation to full commercial building controls, our expert team delivers top-notch automation solutions. Our packages integrate security, door access, lift control, HVAC control, lighting, and heating for complete building control.
Automation offers convenience, energy savings, and smart management from a single application. Before rebuilding or upgrading, consult our Automation team
Commercial Automation
With experience in major automation projects across New Zealand, Aotea Electric Canterbury is your trusted partner for building control projects nationwide.
We’ve successfully completed projects for organisations like the MoE, Christchurch City Council, Otakaro, and private companies. Our portfolio includes flagship lighting control projects such as Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls High School, QEII Pool, and the Christchurch Art Gallery, as well as building and environmental control at Nelson Airport.
Our automation projects have earned us awards, including recognition from KNX NZ and involvement in the award-winning Christchurch Earthquake Memorial Wall.
Local Automation Projects
We meticulously plan, document, and provide end-user training for all projects, ensuring they can manage their building long-term.
We adapt technology to maximise efficiency, like integrating DALI lighting control with a DMX desk at the Christchurch Town Hall, resulting in cost savings. At Nga Puna Wai Sports Centre, we utilised existing KNX networks for MODBus meter readings and billing capabilities, minimising additional cabling.
Whether it’s lighting control or HVAC, heating, and cooling, choose Aotea Electric Canterbury as your automation provider.
