Electrical · Smart Home · AI

Smartly wired.

We are an electrical contractor and a software team in one. We lay the cables, install the distribution board and then program what your home does with them: lighting, heating, solar, EV charging and security in one system.

New rules · as of October 2026

What is changing.

New grid connection rules, mandatory smart meters, controllable EV chargers: a lot has changed around electricity at home in Germany over the last two years. Here is an overview, and what we take care of for you.

What applies to you?

applies to you
Law · §14a EnWGsince 2024

EV chargers and heat pumps become controllable

New devices over 4.2 kW must be registered with the grid operator. During grid congestion it may throttle them to 4.2 kW, but never switch them off completely. In return, your grid fees go down.

What we doRegistration, control box and energy management that makes throttling barely noticeable in daily life.
applies to you
Law · meteringongoing

Smart meters become mandatory

A smart metering system is required from 6,000 kWh annual consumption, for solar systems over 7 kW and for controllable devices under §14a. Everyone else gets a digital meter by 2032 at the latest.

What we doPreparing the meter location, coordinating with the metering operator and integrating it into your smart home.
applies to you
Law · Solarspitzengesetzsince 2025

Solar: max. 60 % feed-in without control

New solar systems without a smart meter and control box may only feed in 60 % of their output. There is no payment when electricity prices are negative. The more you use yourself, the less you lose.

What we doControlling battery, charger and appliances so your solar power stays in the house instead of being curtailed.
applies to you
Standard · VDE-AR-N 4100:2026new since March 2026

New rules for the meter cabinet

The technical connection rules have been revised, with new requirements for meter locations, such as a main switch. When an EV charger, heat pump or solar system is added, an old meter cabinet often has to be replaced.

What we doOn-site meter cabinet check, replacement to the current standard and coordination with the grid operator.
applies to you
Law · Gebäudemodernisierungsgesetzsince July 2026

The heating law has been replaced

The 65 % requirement for new heating systems has been dropped. From 2029 the share of renewable fuels rises step by step. With your own solar and cheap electricity, a heat pump often remains the most economical choice.

What we doElectrical connection of the heat pump and its control together with solar and battery.
applies to you
Law · dynamic tariffssince 2025

Electricity prices that change every hour

Every supplier now has to offer a dynamic tariff. With a smart meter it pays to run your car, battery and heat pump when electricity is cheap.

What we doAutomations that spot cheap hours on their own. You never have to watch prices.

As of October 2026, for Germany. This overview is not legal advice. Details such as deadlines and thresholds depend on the grid operator and your system. We clarify this for your building during the visit.

Services

One house, nine circuits one smart system.

Every service has its place in the building and its own cable from the distribution board. Pick an area and click a point to see what we build there for you.

Who it is for

From shell to period home.

New build

Planned right from the start

We plan the electrics together with your architect, so bus, network and conduits are where they will be needed later.

  • Electrical planning to DIN 18015
  • KNX bus from the shell stage
  • Solar, battery and charger prepared
Renovation & retrofit

Smart without tearing everything open

Many functions can be retrofitted with wireless devices and existing cables. We tell you honestly what makes sense and what does not.

  • Wireless actuators and Matter devices
  • Chargers and solar for existing homes
  • Meter cabinet replacement
Commercial

Buildings that do the maths

For offices, shops and restaurants: presence-based lighting, card access, energy costs in a dashboard.

  • Energy monitoring
  • Access and video
  • Service contract with response time
Daily life

A day in your home.

Technology is good when you do not notice it. This is what a normal weekday looks like.

24 h one weekday
Energy

The battery has charged to 80 % on the cheap night rate.

Light

The bedroom slowly brightens, like a sunrise.

Security

Everyone has left. Heating on eco, alarm armed, windows checked.

Solar → charger

6.8 kW surplus. The car charges on sunshine instead of grid power.

Arrival

Your phone is nearby. Lights, music and 21 °C are ready.

Daily report

14.2 kWh saved. Suggestion: run the pool pump at noon.

Process

Switched on in four steps.

  1. Step 01

    First meeting

    We listen, look at the building and find out what matters to you.

    free · approx. 60 min
  2. Step 02

    Plan & quote

    You get a plan with clear line items and a fixed price, with no surprises.

    within 5 working days
  3. Step 03

    Installation & programming

    Cables, distribution board and programming from a single source. At the end we test every function with you.

    with VDE test report
  4. Step 04

    Handover & support

    You get the app, a walkthrough and complete documentation with photos, digital and printed. If you like, we monitor the system remotely.

How we work

AI in the background. People up front.

AI takes routine work off our hands and supports us with planning and documentation. That gives us more time for your project: carefully planned, closely coordinated, cleanly executed.

Planning

A well-thought-out plan, faster.

AI helps us work through options and double-check plans. So you get your quote sooner and with fewer gaps.

Documentation

Everything documented, with photos.

Test reports are created on site. At handover you get complete documentation with photos of all cable routes and boards, digital and printed.

Status reports

You know where your project stands.

Regular, short progress reports without you having to ask.

Personally available

A real person answers the phone.

Call us any time. On the phone you talk to us, not to a voice menu and not to an AI.

+49 89 41 61 62 48

Responsibility for planning, installation and testing always lies with our qualified staff. AI supports, it does not decide.

About us

One team, one point of contact.

Our electricians and software engineers work on the same project together, not one after the other. From planning to handover you have one fixed point of contact.

Electrical engineering

Installed safely and to standard.

From the meter cabinet and sub-board to the last socket. Every system is tested to VDE and planned so it can be extended later.

Software & automation

Thoughtfully programmed.

Scenes, rules, dashboards and AI assistants that fit your daily life. Preferably running locally in your home, so your data stays private.

FAQ

Good to know.

Your question is not here? Write to us, we reply within one working day.

Can I retrofit a smart home in an older building?

Yes. With wireless actuators and Matter devices a lot is possible without new cables. In the first meeting we tell you where wireless is enough and where a bus cable is worth it.

Does the house still work when the internet is down?

Yes. We set up the control system locally in your home. Lighting, heating and security keep running. Only remote access via the app needs the internet.

What happens to my data and the AI?

Where possible, the assistant runs on a server in your home. Your data only leaves the house if you explicitly want it to.

Which systems do you use?

We are manufacturer-independent and work with open standards such as KNX, Matter, Modbus and MQTT, with Gira X1, Gira HomeServer or Home Assistant as the central controller. So you are never tied to one vendor.

What does a smart home cost?

That depends heavily on the scope. After the free first meeting you get a fixed-price quote with clear line items.

Do you also do standard electrical work?

Of course. New sockets, meter cabinet, sub-board or safety inspection: we are an electrical contractor first.
