Built for real houses

Stay in control of the property when nobody is there.

Kidd Automation designs practical monitoring systems for properties that sit empty for stretches, host guests, or need tight climate control. Based between Ireland and Spain, focused on Alicante and Murcia. The goal is simple: fewer surprises, faster decisions, and a house that is ready when people arrive.

What can be automated

One integrated system for security, comfort and control.

Camera monitoring

Bring indoor and outdoor cameras into one dashboard, with clean views for owners, managers and trusted users.

Temperature control

Track room-by-room temperature, humidity, frost risk and abnormal swings before they become expensive.

Heating & air conditioning

Schedules, one-off boosts, guest-arrival mode, away mode and automatic limits for heating and AC.

Remote alerts

Get notified when temperature drops, a device goes offline, motion is detected or the property mode changes.

Leak detection

Watch kitchens, bathrooms, plant rooms, tanks and weak points so a water leak triggers an immediate alert.

Electricity usage

Monitor consumption, abnormal spikes, appliances left running and high-draw events, circuit by circuit.

Water usage

Track water consumption, unusual flow, irrigation and usage patterns that point to leaks or forgotten systems.

The owner dashboard

Every system in the house, on one screen.

Designed and tuned per property. This is the kind of view an owner gets on a phone, tablet or wall panel — click through the tabs.

A tablet by the door for guests: lights, climate, and nothing they shouldn't touch.

Cameras, climate, water and power from one property — not four unrelated apps.

Talk about your control system

Holiday home focus

Built for properties that need watching from a distance.

Before guests arrive

Bring the main rooms to temperature, check the cameras, confirm devices are healthy and set the house to guest mode before anyone reaches the door.

While the house is empty

Watch frost risk, unexpected temperature swings, unwanted motion, water leaks, abnormal usage, AC left running or devices dropping offline.

When help is needed

Share exactly what a caretaker or installer needs to see, without handing anyone full control of the house.

How a project runs

From survey to handover, the system is built around the property.

  1. 01

    Property survey

    Map cameras, heating, AC, leak sensors, meters, wifi, guest needs and owner access.

  2. 02

    System design

    Choose the right integrations, dashboards, automations and alerts — and leave out what you don't need.

  3. 03

    Install & test

    Connect devices, tune automations, test the edge cases and tidy the controls.

  4. 04

    Handover & support

    A clear dashboard, owner training, and ongoing adjustments as the house changes.

Start a project

Tell Kidd Automation what your property needs to watch.

A good first message includes where the property is, what devices are already there, what you want to see remotely, which utilities matter, and what should trigger an alert.

Based between Ireland and Spain, covering Alicante and Murcia.
