01 — How it fits the install

How Baulogic fits the electrical install

Baulogic is a UK hardwired home automation system. It is configured off-site, arrives on site in a sealed panel, and is installed during new build construction or major refurbishment. It controls lighting, heating, cooling, blinds, and security from a single panel.

From an electrician's point of view, it is wired as a structured electrical installation. Bus cable runs from the panel to keypads, sensors, blind motors, valve actuators, and field devices on first fix. The panel is mounted and field cables are plugged in on second fix. Final commissioning is handled by Baulogic, remotely or on site.

02 — Installer requirements

Can an electrician install hardwired home automation?

Yes.

Baulogic is designed to be installed by any qualified electrician. No additional certification, no proprietary integrator licence, and no software training is required to complete an install.

The system arrives pre-configured. The two roles are kept separate, which is why the electrician walks off site without an open support liability.

What the install looks like on site

Every project arrives with a cable schedule, panel drawings, and labelled connectors. The install is broken into three stages.

01

First fix

Pull bus cable from the panel to each keypad, sensor, blind motor, valve actuator, and field device
Mount back boxes for keypads and touchscreens at agreed positions
Terminate lighting circuits at the panel as per drawings
Run network cable to the panel for remote commissioning
02

Second fix

Mount the pre-configured Baulogic panel in the riser, plant room, or utility
Plug field cables into the labelled push-fit connectors — no loose terminations
Fit keypads, touchscreens, and sensors
Energise the panel and complete standard electrical testing
03

Commissioning

Baulogic completes final commissioning remotely or on site
The system is tested with the client present
Any handover snags are logged and resolved by Baulogic
04 — Scope of work

What arrives pre-configured, and what is wired on site

The Baulogic panel arrives as a sealed unit. All internal wiring, programming, and integration logic is completed in our facility before delivery.

05 — Infrastructure

Wiring and infrastructure requirements

Baulogic issues a cable schedule on every project before first fix begins. The schedule lists each cable type, run, and termination point so you can quote and order accurately.

Cable runs follow standard electrical practice. There are no proprietary tools or specialist crimps. Any deviation from the schedule should be flagged to Baulogic before second fix.

Panel location
Adequate space, ventilation, and access. Footprint and clearances are in the project pack.

06 — After handover

Who owns support after handover

The electrician's responsibility ends at a clean, tested electrical install. Baulogic owns the system itself, including configuration, commissioning, software updates, and ongoing technical support. If the homeowner has a question about a scene, a sensor, or an app setting six months after handover, they contact Baulogic directly.

This is structurally different from conventional home automation systems where the installer often remains the homeowner's first point of contact for years. With Baulogic, the install is a defined piece of work, paid for on completion, with no rolling support obligation attached.

07 — Training

Do you need training to install Baulogic?

No training is required to complete a single Baulogic install on a project. The cable schedule, panel labelling, on-site documentation, and direct line to our team cover everything an experienced electrician needs to fit the system correctly. Our team is available throughout the install for site queries.

We offer free training for electricians who want to specify and refer Baulogic projects themselves. The course runs for 90 minutes, in person at our office in Northamptonshire or online, and covers how the system fits into first and second fix, how to scope a project, and how the partner programme works.

08 — Partner programme

The Baulogic partner programme

Electricians and M&E contractors who bring projects to Baulogic earn a fee on every system installed. The programme is open to qualified UK electricians working on new build and major refurbishment.

Specify & install

Specify Baulogic into a project you're already quoting for, and install it yourself.

Refer & install

Refer a developer, self-builder, or main contractor to us, and install the system as part of the wider electrical package.

In both cases, Baulogic handles design, configuration, commissioning, and ongoing support, whether you're working with property developers or working with self-builders. You handle the install and earn the referral fee on completion.

09 — Client feedback

What clients say about the install

"Our electrician found it enjoyable and relatively stress-free to install the system. Baulogic worked directly with our electrician, handled any on-site queries and provided advice. For someone who had never done it before, they said it was very straightforward and truly plug-and-play."
Giuliano and Zara · Grand Designs self-build
"The Baulogic system was incredibly straightforward for our electricians to install. It integrated seamlessly across all three houses in the scheme, saving time on site and ensuring a consistent, high-quality finish throughout."
Will Lawson · MD, Blues Property
10 — Common questions

Common questions from electricians

No. Baulogic configures every system before it leaves our facility. There is no on-site programming.

No. The Baulogic system operates over a wired bus. WiFi is not required for installation, testing, or normal operation. A network connection at the panel allows Baulogic to commission and update the system remotely.

KNX bus cable for field devices, Cat 6 for touchscreens and the local network, and standard mains cable for power and load circuits. Full cable schedules are issued per project.

First fix runs alongside the rest of the electrical first fix and adds bus cable runs to keypads and field devices. Second fix typically adds half a day to a day on a four-bedroom new build, depending on scope.

Baulogic. Commissioning is handled remotely or on site once second fix is complete and the system has been energised.

Baulogic owns ongoing technical support. The homeowner contacts us directly, not the electrician.

Yes. Baulogic components are CE and UKCA marked and the system is installed to current UK wiring regulations.

Only where the project includes major refurbishment with cables being pulled. Baulogic is not a retrofit solution for finished homes.

No. Partner status is for electricians who want to specify and refer projects. A one-off install does not require partner sign-up or training.

Send us the project details. We confirm suitability and turn around a cable schedule and panel specification within a few working days.
