Home automation, monitoring and remote control for homes and businesses
Automate, monitor and control your spaces from one place
Home automation is no longer only about comfort. It now helps manage energy, improve security, control equipment remotely and automate everyday tasks at home and at work. At Cortana Systems we design and integrate solutions for each need: lighting, climate, blinds, access, energy use, solar panels, technical alarms and remote equipment. We connect different devices and platforms so they work together, reliably and easy to manage from a phone, tablet or computer.
The aim is simple: fewer worries, more control and a more efficient use of resources.
Home automation does not have to be complicated.
Good automation should make life easier, reduce repetitive tasks, improve security and help control energy use.

Alerts for power cuts, excess consumption, high temperature, humidity, water leaks or communication failures.
FAQ
Questions? We will answer them
What exactly is a home-automation project?
It is a solution for controlling and automating parts of an installation: lights, blinds, climate control, irrigation, energy use, technical alarms or energy equipment.
Does the whole electrical installation have to be replaced?
Usually not. In many cases devices, sensors or relays can be added to the existing installation, always checking safety and compatibility.
Can I control it from my phone?
Yes. Remote control, alerts and monitoring screens can be set up so you can see the state of the system from a phone, computer or tablet.
Is it suitable for second homes?
Yes. It is one of the most useful cases: you can see temperatures, humidity, power cuts, energy use and technical alarms, and switch equipment on or off remotely.
Can it be used to reduce electricity consumption?
Yes. Schedules can be set, loads controlled, unusual consumption detected and surplus solar energy used when there is any.
Can it be integrated with solar panels and batteries?
Yes. Consumption, battery status and solar production can be monitored, and loads can be switched on according to surplus energy or specific conditions.
Which brands or equipment can you work with?
Different brands can be integrated depending on the project: Shelly, Victron, Enphase, sensors, relays, contactors, routers, cloud platforms or local systems.
What happens if the internet fails?
It depends on the design. Wherever possible, critical functions should keep working locally, and the internet should only be needed for remote control.
Is home automation safe?
It has to be configured properly: a protected network, controlled access, strong passwords and separation of critical functions when needed.
Can you start with a small automation?
Yes. You can start with one specific need and leave the system ready to grow in the future.
