Technical Support
While we design our products to be as plug-and-play as possible, a certain level of technical competency is still required. Smithtek provides support with programming, interface configuration, and guidance on interpreting the installation manual. Installation, wiring, and on-site electrical work remain the responsibility of the installer or client. If you do run into issues, give us a call on (08) 6118 9176, we’d love to help you get back on track. IoT, telemetry, automation, it’s what we live for.
