Advantage Air

What Advantage Air does

Advantage Air is a privately held, family-owned Australian designer and manufacturer of smart home and air conditioning control systems, headquartered and produced at a single facility in Canning Vale, Western Australia. Founded in 1990 by Dave and Margaret Devoy, the company employs approximately 200 staff and operates regional sales/showroom offices in Osborne Park WA, Eagle Farm QLD, Castle Hill NSW, Noble Park VIC, and Adelaide SA, with additional presence in South Africa.

The product portfolio centers on two integrated platforms: MyAir, a premium 10-zone ducted air conditioning controller with proprietary Exact Air Regulator (EAR) airflow management in 5% increments and Individual Temperature Control (ITC) sensors; and MyPlace, a modular smart home hub delivered through an Android touchscreen and smartphone app that extends control to MyLights (low-voltage LED lighting), MyGarage (smart garage doors), MyMonitor (motion/environment sensing with programmable automation events), and MyPlace Security cameras and video doorbell. Light-commercial customers are served through VAMS, an up-to-8-zone office climate control system. In-house manufacturing capability - built around the 2000 acquisition of Plastic Injection Co. - covers plastic moulded parts, tooling, and PCB assembly, with a Pick and Place machine installed in 2021.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time hardware sales (e.g., MyPlace systems from $2,150 installed; ducted AC with MyAir at $10K-$15K; MyLights Foundation Kit at $1,995), recurring MyMembership subscriptions required for app connectivity and third-party integrations, and professional installation delivered via the in-house MyTeam and a certified specialist/dealer network. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce and three physical showrooms with a channel partner motion through 20+ Partner Builders (Metricon, Coral Homes, Clarendon, Summit, Homebuyers Centre) embedding products as standard or optional inclusions in new home builds across five Australian states. The platform integrates with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Siri, Sonos, Philips Hue, and Gainsborough smart locks, and is compatible with ducted systems from Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Samsung, and Mitsubishi Electric.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Brilliant Smart Home: Brilliant provides in-wall smart home control panels integrating lighting, climate, cameras, and voice assistants. Directly comparable to the MyPlace touchscreen hub concept with multi-device control from a central wall-mounted display.
• Tado: Tado specializes in smart AC and heating controls with multi-zone management and subscription services. Comparable to MyAir for retrofit zone-based control of existing HVAC systems, with a stronger European footprint but smaller Australian presence.

Broad incumbents

• Honeywell Home: Honeywell Home offers a broad portfolio of programmable and smart thermostats (T-series, Lyric) with zoning and remote control. A long-established HVAC controls incumbent overlapping directly with MyAir's residential and light commercial positioning.
• Nest (Google): Google's Nest line of smart thermostats, cameras, and doorbells is a major smart home incumbent. Competes on the residential climate control and security categories that MyPlace addresses, with the advantage of Google's ecosystem and aggressive subsidization.
• Carrier (Côr): Carrier is a global HVAC manufacturer offering its Côr smart home suite of thermostats, zoning, and remote control. A broad incumbent that competes in the climate control and connected home space where Advantage Air operates.

Direct peers

• Savant Systems: Savant delivers premium home automation including climate, lighting, and AV, sold through integrators. Overlaps with MyPlace on whole-home control and with MyAir on HVAC zoning at the high end of the residential market.
• Crestron Home: Crestron's residential division delivers integrated smart home control including HVAC, lighting, and shading, with high-end touchscreen panels. Comparable to MyPlace as a premium whole-home control system with a specialist installer ecosystem.
• Loxone: Loxone provides a full-stack smart home automation system with proprietary HVAC zone control, lighting, shading, and security. Closely comparable to MyPlace's integrated approach and to MyAir's zone-based climate control, sold through certified partner installers.
• Control4: Control4 (now part of Snap One) provides whole-home automation including HVAC, lighting, and security, with installer/dealer network and a central controller. Highly comparable to MyPlace as a unified smart home control platform sold through specialist channels.
• Ecobee: Ecobee makes smart thermostats with multi-room temperature sensors that compete directly with MyAir's ITC (Individual Temperature Control) zone concept. Comparable on HVAC zone management, energy savings messaging, and integration with Alexa/Google.
