Behind every smart home, a team that believes in it.
Born in 2018 in Montreal, ASCIA Technologies was founded on a simple belief: smart home technology should work for you, not against you. After 6 years of R&D and 100+ installations across Quebec, we've built something different — a system focused on privacy, simplicity, and longevity.
No cloud dependency. No subscription fees. No compromise.
Mission
Our mission is to make residential intelligence simple, elegant, secure and perfectly integrated into everyday living.
ASCIA helps homeowners, developers and professionals create smart homes that improve comfort, safety and control without adding complexity. We focus on delivering technology that feels natural to use, works reliably every day, and blends seamlessly into the design of the home.
Our goal is to give every client a smarter living experience where lighting, security, climate, entertainment and daily routines are connected in one intuitive system built around their lifestyle.
Vision
Our vision is to redefine the way people experience their homes.
We believe smart living should feel natural, reliable and effortless, with technology that supports daily life quietly, beautifully and intelligently. ASCIA aims to become a trusted name in high-end smart home integration by creating systems that are not only advanced, but also easy to understand and enjoyable to use.
We see the future of residential living as more connected, more comfortable and more secure, where every home is designed to respond to the needs of the people living in it.
Core values
Privacy first
Your home data stays in your home. No cloud servers, no third-party access, no data harvesting. Full control means full privacy.
Simplicity
Technology should disappear. One interface for everything. No switching between apps, no confusing menus, no friction.
Longevity
We build systems that last. No planned obsolescence, no forced upgrades, no subscription lock-in. Your investment endures.
Local expertise
Based in Montreal, serving Quebec. We understand local homes, local building codes, and local needs. When you call, we answer.
Company Story
ASCIA was created from one simple need: living better at home.
What started as a personal smart home project became a real-world testing ground for design, automation, reliability and user experience.
Through this process, ASCIA developed a clear approach: smart home technology should be powerful, but easy to use. It should improve daily comfort, enhance security and integrate seamlessly into the home.
Today, ASCIA continues to grow by working with homeowners, developers, architects, designers and contractors to deliver high-end smart home experiences built around simplicity, quality and everyday comfort.

Let's Connect
Want to get to know us
Whether you're curious about smart home technology, have a project in mind, or just want to chat about what's possible — we'd love to hear from you.
ASCIA started with a personal project: the complete installation of a smart system in Youssef’s home. This project became a real world laboratory where we tested, evaluated and refined each solution, each interface and each automation. Over time, requests multiplied: families, renovations, new builds. One thing became clear, people wanted a smart home without having to become experts
We created our first showroom so clients could experience ASCIA before buying. We then developed ten pilot projects across Quebec to test integration, reliability, programming and client experience. These projects allowed us to build solid expertise focused on what truly matters: people, simplicity and everyday comfort.
Partnerships and recognition
Today we work with developers, architects, designers, general contractors and real
