Every building system.
One connected platform.
Built for Australian strata, property and building managers: meters read and billed automatically, EV charging, intercoms that ring residents' phones, parcels, bookings and defects — one dashboard for you, one app for every resident.

Most buildings run on a patchwork — a meter spreadsheet here, an EV billing vendor there, an intercom that rings a landline. Automated Life replaces the patchwork with one platform that shares the same residents, apartments and permissions.

Utility recovery is where buildings quietly lose money — missed reads, estimated bills, spreadsheets that don't reconcile. Automated Life reads every meter, checks every read, and turns the period into per-apartment statements without anyone keying a number.
-
Read
A secure onsite node polls every meter over BACnet, Modbus, M-Bus or EDMI — electricity, water, gas, AC and EV.
-
Check
Offline meters, estimated reads and suspect jumps are flagged for review before they reach a bill.
-
Bill
Per-apartment bills from actual consumption on your cycle, on flat, tiered or time-of-use rates.
-
Send
PDF statements with line-item usage, plus CSV export for your accounts package.
Caught at two hours, not two months
A toilet in one of our buildings started running — a steady, silent flow nobody could see. Automated Life noticed the apartment's water use had climbed far above its normal pattern and warned the resident on their phone after about two hours.
Under the building's previous metering provider, that water would only have surfaced when the data arrived at billing time — up to two months later, as a shock on the bill. No analytics, nothing in between.
This time it was a toilet. Next time it's a burst hose behind the washing machine — and two hours is the difference between a mop and water through the ceiling of the apartment below.
Illustrative chart. The alert wording and the timeline are real.
How long until someone knows
Each apartment's water use is compared with its own normal over the past two weeks — not a one-size-fits-all limit.
A push notification lands on their phone, so no one has to be watching a dashboard at 2 am.
It runs on the same water meters you already bill from.
One dashboard. Every building.
Take the tour — these are real screens from our demo building, not mock-ups.
A live health score for the whole building — open defects, meters reporting, bookings and EV activity at a glance.
How residents experience their building
Your residents never see the dashboard — they see the app. Book the BBQ, report a leak, collect a parcel, answer the front door. All from their phone.
-
See usage before the bill
Live electricity, water and EV usage per apartment — no bill shock.
-
Answer the door from anywhere
Intercom calls ring through to the resident's phone — home or away.
-
Never miss a parcel
Push notification the moment it's logged, with the locker code attached.

ExploreSecurity & data
Your building data is sensitive. We treat it that way.
ExploreConnect what's there. Switch on the rest.
Automated Life is built on open standards, so a lot of what's already installed in your building can be connected rather than ripped out.
Walk the site
We audit the meters, chargers, door stations and lockers you already have, and map every meter to its apartment.
Connect it
An onsite node joins your BACnet, Modbus, M-Bus and EDMI meters. OCPP 2.0.1 chargers and SIP door stations connect straight to the platform.
Go live
Residents are invited by apartment, download the app, and everything from parcels to billing runs from day one.
Running something else? We fit Automated Life to your building, not the other way round. If your meters use a protocol we don't cover yet, we add it.
How pricing works
We tailor each to your portfolio size and hardware footprint — tell us about your buildings and we'll come back with concrete numbers.
Three components
A one-off fee that covers setup, configuration, and any hardware we supply — intercoms, lobby tablets, on-site nodes, EV chargers, metering.

Who owns the data?
You do. We hold operational and resident data on your behalf, and you can request a full export at any time, including when you leave. We never sell data, and we never use customer data to train third-party machine-learning models.
Where is it hosted?
Application servers and databases run in Sydney, Australia (Linode). Push notification delivery uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google infrastructure, may route via the United States), and transactional email uses Resend. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
What happens if the building's internet drops?
Critical building systems run through an onsite node inside your building's network. Data is processed locally first, then synced to the cloud over encrypted channels. If your internet drops, your meters keep reading.
Do you meet Australian privacy law?
Yes. We operate in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the 13 Australian Privacy Principles.
What if we leave?
You get a complete export — buildings, residents, defects, messages, documents, audit logs — in machine-readable formats (CSV/JSON).
