Smart Home & Building Automation

Create | Automate | Innovate

In a world moving so rapidly, from face ID on phones to self driving cars, smart homes are no longer the future, they’re the present. It’s time to get in & take control of your home life, now.

The problem is, with something that’s designed to save us time, some systems can actually go the opposite way & waste vast amounts of time & energy.

From waiting an eternity for devices to respond, to resetting the unresponsive WiFi, things can get painful. Fast.

We’re here to fix this for you.

Let’s get you back to loving & living in perfect harmony with your home by saving you time, energy & stress.


What Clients Have To Say About Us…

  • 'We’ve had Simon round multiple times since moving into our new home, and he’s done some excellent work for us indoors and out. He’s extremely neat and tidy, flexible and professional. We’ll absolutely continue to use him in the future and would recommend him to anybody looking for electrical work. Thanks Simon!'

  • 'Simon installed my Tesla charging point. A great job done efficiently, tidied after himself. The most important was the fact that the cabling was exemplary. I recommended that Simon should contact Tesla and become an approved installer so get in quick before he has to put his prices up!!!'

    Mike B (Facebook)

  • Simon has done an outstanding job of connecting our new light for the living room and installing our wall mounted TV with hidden wires. He also picked up on a faulty earth connection in the house and rectified it very quickly. Lovely guy, will definitely be using his services again!

    Katie P (Facebook)

  • Simon has carried out extensive work for us at our new home in East Hanney including installing additional electric points inside and a whole new external lighting solution in our back garden. His work is exceptionally neat and tidy and we are delighted with everything he has done for us. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Not Exactly Sure What You Need?

With the amount of information available online & none of it tailored to your needs, it can be daunting to know exactly what you need or how it can link to your space.

We’ll take the time to understand your requirements and design the perfect solution, just for you.

Your install is in trusted hands.

Questions?

  • This is completely possible, in fact, we recommend living with it in one room initially.

    Wiring can easily be adjusted with relative ease in future, indoors, outdoors, wirelessly or wired.

  • As with everything, it depends on your needs. But most systems can be installed to your existing wiring with minimal damage (if not zero).

    Plus, with reliable wireless connections, the system can always be built upon in future without worrying about damage everywhere.

  • In short, anyone who wants to make life easier or save time. Aside from the obvious in homes, here’s some specific examples:

    Retirement Homes

    Using lights paired with sounds for daily medication reminders. Automatically turning residents lights off at certain times & using discreet, automatic nightlights to light paths for any bathroom trips in the night.

    Families With Children

    Being able to keep your family safe & comfortable is a real benefit of our smart homes.

    Example of this are:

    • Automatic front door lock.

    • Smart security system.

    • Bedtime wind down routines for children (& adults).

    • Automatic control locks (so it doesn't matter if children are pressing buttons in their room at night - they won't respond)

    Hotels

    Save £ on energy bills by automatically turning lights & heating/cooling off when guests leave the room.

    Also, give your customers a fantastic experience, with integrated blinds, curtain & beautiful lighting scenes with one click of a button or a wall mounted tablet for room control.

    Offices & Workplaces

    Energy management is a huge cause for concern in the commercial space.

    Employees forget to turn lights off & unknowingly set heating to be on all the time (even in unused areas, even through the whole night!). Which quickly mounts up to a huge bill. Inefficiency costs.

    So bringing in automation takes care of this (whilst not upsetting your employees). It’s great for saving energy & keeping the team happy.

    Among many other benefits, here’s some examples:

    • Intelligent lighting.

    • Meeting Room scenes e.g. projectors come down, blinds close, lights dim slightly & soft, ambient music fades into the background… with one click of a button.

    • Smart heating & energy management control.

    • Smart EV charging. Click here to find out more on Charging Solutions

  • All systems we install DO NOT depend on WiFi. So, rest assured that you won’t be dealing with unreliable connections.


    If you lose power, your home (as it would if it wasn’t smart) will be unresponsive, unless you choose to have a battery installed. If you have devices like automated door locks, there are mechanical overrides to balance this out, so you won’t be locked out.

  • Smart Homes are not exclusively for tech savvy people. Everyone can benefit from having one, from families to people with disabilities & elderly people who have never touched a computer in their life.

    You don’t need to be Tech Savvy- All programming behind the scenes will initially be completed by us, then any adjustments can either be done by you using the extremely easy & intuitive apps we use OR we can remotely change things for you without needing to visit your property.

    Take a phone for example.. You CAN do extraordinary things with it, building websites, creating applications and graphic design work, but you can also simply use it to call & text people. Both examples are useful in their own ways. Think of your Smart Home like a phone, you can use it to automate almost every aspect of tedious to dos, or simply have your lights in one bedroom automated. Both work fantastically for different people.

  • Let’s rephrase that. Can they actually save you money? The simple answer, YES. But it depends on energy prices. We can’t guarantee you that you’re going to save money (due to energy prices being out of our control) but we can assure you that Smart Homes we install are extremely energy efficient.

    • Intelligent heating controls to save energy waste- heating & cooling is typically the biggest cost in any household or building. We’ve all likely been in the dilemma of wanting fresh air but not wanting to waste the the heat our central heating has produced.. with an intelligent heating system you can have windows & doors linked to the system. Meaning you are free to open all the windows you like, knowing your heating will be optimised & efficient throughout. Without the need for external Apps or manual control.

    • Smart heating can self-regulate based on the difference between the inside & outside temperatures & take appropriate action.

  • No matter the install, all our projects & hardware we install are designed with backwards compatibility in mind. Meaning that all software updates will aim to incorporate older technology.
