About Automn
Our story
Automn was founded by a team of software and technology professionals with a shared passion for automation and a deep frustration with the smart home industry. They saw a landscape of disconnected devices, complicated setups, and rigid, closed ecosystems that stifled creativity and locked users into a single brand. It was clear there had to be a better way.
Automn was created with a clear mission: to make powerful, unified, and truly smart automation accessible to everyone. We believe that technology should serve you—enhancing your life and simplifying your daily routines—not the other way around. We exist to break down the technical barriers and deliver that seamless experience.
Our Company
Automn is a locally owned and operated business proudly serving the Ottawa region. As members of the community, we are dedicated to providing a level of personalized service and attention to detail that larger companies simply can't match.
Our goal is to be more than just an installer; we aim to be your trusted, long-term partner in technology. We take the time to understand your unique needs and design solutions that fit your lifestyle and budget perfectly. Our success isn't measured in units sold, but in the satisfaction and peace of mind we bring to our clients.
Our Approach
Our approach is guided by one principle: putting you, the customer, in complete control. Unlike many off-the-shelf products that lock you into a single brand's ecosystem, we build your system on a foundation of best-in-class, open, and reliable technologies.
This expert-led approach provides four key advantages:
- No Vendor Lock-In: Your system is built for flexibility, allowing you to integrate devices from hundreds of different brands, now and in the future. You are free to choose the best product for the job.
- Unmatched Privacy: Your data and automation routines are kept on your local network, not on a third-party cloud server. Your privacy is paramount, and our approach ensures it's protected.
- Ultimate Reliability: Because your system's core logic runs locally, it continues to function seamlessly even if your internet connection goes down. Your daily routines will run, no matter what.
- Limitless Flexibility: Our systems are designed to grow with you. Whether you want to start small or integrate advanced security and climate control, the foundation we build can handle it all.
