Back to mySmart 25 years
A 25-year story

One team,
five systems.

From the C-Bus install that started it all in 2001, to the sensors we design ourselves today - how mySmart built a lighting control practice one system at a time.

Scroll to read

Lighting control isn't just one thing at mySmart - it's the backbone to everything. Over 25 years we've built expertise across every major platform in the market, not by chasing trends, but by picking up each system exactly when our clients needed it.

What follows is the order it actually happened in - and the people who happened to be there for it.

The order it happened in

One system. Now the leading integrator in Australia.

2001
Founded on C-Bus
Our very first project, a Jaguar showroom in Rushcutters Bay, ran on C-Bus. One system, one state, two people - that was the whole business.
1 system NSW only 2 people
2002
Employee number one
Brad joins as mySmart's very first employee. Twenty-three years later, he's still with us - the first of many people who'd end up growing alongside the systems themselves.
2005
DALI arrives
We begin distributing an Australian-made DALI Control range - controllers, sensors and switches built on the DALI protocol. The start of a platform story that's still running today.
2007
The world's largest DALI-controlled lighting system
Appointed ERCO's Light System DALI partner for Australia and New Zealand, and the same year we delivered Westpac Place in Sydney - 286 DALI lines across a 35-storey, 74,000m² headquarters housing over 5,000 staff. At the time, the largest DALI-controlled lighting installation in the world.

2009
C-Bus Platinum Partner
In September, mySmart signs the C-Bus Platinum agreement - formal recognition of our commercial-grade competence, eight years after that first Jaguar showroom. By this point we're Australia's largest independent C-Bus integrator.
2010
An intern joins the team
A young Adnan starts as an intern. Fifteen years on, he's still here - now our National Sales Manager. It's a pattern that repeats throughout this story: the people who grow with the systems.
From inside the team
"Honestly? We've got one of the best teams in the country, and I don't think we shout about it enough. We're too busy doing the work."

2012
KNX - bringing an open standard to Australia
We became a founding member of KNX Australia, betting on an open-protocol standard that would go on to reshape the industry. Today it's our most-delivered system, and the platform behind landmark builds like Western Sydney International Airport.

Still going
C-Bus, 25 years on. Westpac Place, 18 years on.
The system we started on in 2001 is still winning major commercial fitouts today. And we're still involved with Westpac Place too, amongst other major brands - supporting buildings as systems evolve and get upgraded, nearly two decades after we first switched it on.
