YOUR HOME COMMUNICATING WITH YOU, AND RESPONDING TO YOUR NEEDS
The Smart Home is all about your home communicating with you and responding to your needs. All the individual devices in your home, working together to form one cohesive system. This ability to communicate with the everyday things around us works to make our lives easier and better. What exactly could a home be made to do? Pretty much whatever you want! The list of things that a smart home could do is boundless. Here are a few examples:
- Send you a notification when your children get home.
- Learn your daily routine and adjust temperature accordingly.
- Dim your lights when you press play on a film.
- Flash your lights if you’ve left a door unlocked.
- Remotely lock doors.
- Mute the music when the door bell rings.
DIY Home Automation and Smart Home Control
Until very recently, Home Automation was the realm of only the professional installer. Requiring years of experience and knowledge in selecting and integrating products into a unified system. These products are often very specialist and require extensive training to just be allowed to install them. Add in essential real world knowledge that only comes from experience of multiple installations and integrations and you can see that these products are best left to us experts to install!
However, there are now a multitude of products that can turn your home into a Smart Home that can be bought off the shelf for DIY installation. Although it is still true that to get the maximum level of reliability and performance you need a professional to install the more specialist equipment these DIY Automation products are a fantastic way of bringing more Smart into your Home.
The wealth of products from the likes of Nest, Samsung SmartThings and Philips Hue are all relatively straight-forward to install yourself. That being said, there may be times when you need an expert to help. We provide a troubleshooting and setup service for all things Home Automation. So if you need a hand, or just don't fancying setting up and installing the equipment yourself, we can help.

Control4 - Home Automation and Smart Home Control
Founded in 2003, Control4's objective has always been to create a user friendly and powerful way to control and automate your home.
Their comprehensive platform includes a large range of their own products and through clever design, allows complete integration with 1000s of others. It brings heating, lighting, audio, video and security all under one platform and into a unified interface.
Control4 acts like a custodian for your home. It knows when the sun rises and sets, it knows the temperature, light levels, whether any windows or doors are open, whether you're in and when you'll be home (think Jetsons not HAL 9000). It can use all this information to keep you and your home safe and comfortable. It also makes your whole home into an entertainment system, controlling audio and video and, for example, linking it to your lighting - dropping the light level when you want to watch a film.

CONTROL4 AND US
|
This may sound pretty complicated and it actually is. There is a lot of complex setup, the fancier features require programming and if you have a device you want to control that isn't supported a driver will need to be created. That's where we come in. You don't have to do any of that, we do it for you. We are Control4 trained and certified, and installation experienced. We've been using Control4 products for a number of years and have had great success (and fun) with it. When we're finished it isn't complicated at all, it's so easy to use you won't even think about the number of complex processes that go on in the background to make single button presses control a whole home!
