PashaK - Home Automation and Technology

PashaK - Home Automation and Technology Melbourne-based smart home specialists. I remember the thrill of taking apart old radios and speakers, eager to understand their inner workings.

We install and configure Home Assistant, home security, and networking โ€” so you get a home that works for you, not the other way around. My journey as a tech enthusiast began in my childhood, fuelled by a fascination with electronics and a love for video games. This early curiosity paved the way for a lifelong passion for technology, leading me to explore everything from building powerful gaming P

Cs to delving into the world of home automation. Over the years, I've not only witnessed the incredible evolution of technology but have also been an active participant in it. My professional career in IT, spanning over two decades, has provided me with extensive experience in networking, system administration, and troubleshooting. But my passion extends beyond the workplace. I'm the go-to tech guru for family and friends, always eager to help them navigate the ever-changing landscape of gadgets and smart home devices. This hands-on experience, coupled with my formal IT background, has allowed me to develop a unique understanding of how to integrate technology seamlessly into everyday life. But beyond the technical expertise, I'm a down-to-earth person with a sense of humour in overdrive and a kid at heart. I genuinely love helping people and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with technology. This passion has always been a big part of my life, and I'm incredibly excited to be launching this business to share it with the world. Now, I'm thrilled to offer my expertise and personalized service to help you create a smart home that is both functional and enjoyable. I believe that technology should enhance our lives, not complicate them, and I'm dedicated to making that a reality for the everyday person.

Most outdoor lights run on a timer. Set it once, and for a few weeks it's about right.

Then the seasons shift. Suddenly you're walking up a dark path in winter, or the lights are blazing in summer while the sky's still bright. So you adjust the timer. Again.

Home Assistant knows the exact moment the sun sets at your address, every day of the year. Lights on at 5:12pm this week. 8:47pm in December. Never a minute early or late.

Set it once. Never touch it again. The house keeps pace with the seasons on its own.

If you've ever thought about adding automatic lighting at home, you've probably hit the same wall everyone does. Traditional motion sensors just don't cut it.

They only react to movement. Walk in and the lights come on. But sit down to read or watch a film, stay still a few minutes, and you're back in the dark, waving an arm to bring them back.

The Everything Presence Pro changes that. Instead of watching for movement, it uses radar to detect that someone is genuinely in the room, sitting quietly, reading, or even asleep. It can map out a single spot, like the couch, so something happens only when that exact area is occupied. And it reads light, temperature, humidity and CO2 from the same small device.

Run it through Home Assistant, the platform we build proper smart homes around, and your lights finally behave the way you always wanted.

Lighting that actually knows you're there.

If you've got a pool and little ones, you know the gate is everything. And gates have a habit of not quite latching, or getting left open while everyone's busy.

A small sensor keeps watch for you. Open it when it shouldn't be, and every phone in the house sounds an alert. Leave it open longer than it should be, even by a minute, and you'll know straight away.

It's the kind of quiet backup that lets you relax a little more on a summer afternoon.

One small sensor, real peace of mind. Book a free 15-minute call at pashak.net.au

Three days into the holiday and your mind keeps drifting home. The house sitting there dark every night, quietly telling the whole street that nobody's in.

A timer on a lamp fools no one. Same light, same time, every night.

Your home can do better. It learns how you actually live and plays it back while you're gone. Lights moving room to room, the lounge glowing like someone's watching TV, blinds lifting and dropping the way they always do. The real rhythm of your house, not a mechanical loop.

So while you're away, anyone walking past sees a home that's clearly lived in.

That's real peace of mind on a holiday. Book a free 15-minute call at pashak.net.au

You've walked to the letterbox three times today. Three times, nothing.

Drop a sensor inside the lid. Your phone now knows the exact moment something arrives.

Not when you think to check. The moment it lands.

No more wondering. No more wasted trips.

Some plants are easy. Others have been quietly struggling for months and you didn't know until it was too late.

The problem isn't that you don't care. It's that knowing what a plant actually needs โ€” and remembering to check โ€” is harder than it looks.

Home Assistant can monitor every plant in your home. Soil moisture, temperature, light levels, humidity. Each one tracked against what that specific plant actually requires. When something's off, it tells you. Not in a week. Right now.

And when you do water? Tap your phone against a small tag near the plant. No app to open. Done. A few days later, if it hasn't been tapped again, you get a gentle reminder.

It's not about turning your home into a greenhouse control room. It's about giving the plants in your life a fair chance.

Some people in our lives take medication every day. And most of the time, they manage just fine.

But there are days when it gets missed. A busy morning. A disrupted routine. Justโ€ฆ forgetting.

A contact sensor on a weekly pill box costs around $30. Home Assistant watches it quietly in the background. If that compartment hasn't been opened by a certain time, say 26 hours after it should have been, it sends a notification.

"Looks like today's dose might have been skipped. Worth a quick check?"

That's it. No cameras. No check-ins. No one feeling watched. Just a small sensor doing something that genuinely matters.

The same setup works for anyone managing medication at home, not just older family members. And when caregiving is involved, that notification doesn't have to go to just one phone. It can go to as many as you need.

Peace of mind for under $30. That's what Home Assistant can do.

It's 7pm. Everyone's home, windows shut, dinner's on. The house feels fine.

But CO2 has been climbing since school pickup. Slowly enough that nobody notices. That restless, slightly heavy feeling by bedtime? Often it's just the air โ€” too many people in the same space for too long without anything coming through.

Most homes have no idea. No alarm, no indicator, nothing telling you the air quality has shifted from fine to not great.

An AirGradient sensor tracks it all live and reports into Home Assistant. When levels cross a threshold, a notification fires: open a window, crack a door, let the house breathe.

You don't have to wait until someone feels it. Your home tells you first.

The power went out at 2:14pm.

You were at work. The fridge spent hours warming up, the clocks were all flashing by the time you got home, and the only way you found out was when you walked in the door.

There's a better way.

The moment the grid drops, your phone gets a notification. Not when you arrive home. Not after you notice the microwave clock is wrong. The second it happens.

You see the alert. You call the energy company, text a neighbour to check, arrange for someone to head over. You know what you're walking into before you've even left the office.

Your house can still reach you. Even when the lights are off.
