On this project Complete Smart Home Solutions was asked to sign an NDA, so we cannot reveal the project location or pictures, but we can write a detailed description of our project.
Initially a member of our sales team was contacted by a luxury developer we design smart homes for, they had been asked by their new client if they could recommend a home automation company. We were asked to attend a meeting with the developer and their client to discuss requirements. After a meeting with the clients and other contractors involved with the project our sales team put together a home automation design. Our specification was to provide only the best in smart home technology, which we did!
The following design was proposed and accepted.
Our client had a purpose built AV room on the 3rd floor we designed 2 x 21U racks, the 1st was for all the data and WiFi equipment and UPS smart back up and the 2nd was to house the Control and AV equipment and UPS smart back up. On the ground floor was a 3rd data rack connecting the main incoming 1G line and alarm with a UPS smart back up system also, and this connected to the Control4 hub on the 3rd floor. Our client wanted to have a system that could make every day life easier and would bring all the different aspects of their home together. The Control4 system we proposed did just that! The client had 8 TV's, 4 Sky boxes and 3 Roku media sticks, so this was a job for an IP TV system run over CAT6 and controlled by either a Control4 Halo remote or 10" table top Control4 touchscreen. In our clients office the room has been split into two sides with the TV located in the middle of the wall in a custom built cabinet and desk. On the one side of the room was his work station and on the other side was the gaming area. Because of the 3 TV positions we installed a motorised TV bracket that could be controlled with the Control4 desk top touchscreen, a one touch pre programmed button for the gaming area, one for the work station and then back to the center. Our client was so happy with the results, their words were "this is so cool" which was great to hear! Moving on we had to design a multi zone audio system with ceiling speakers in nearly every room either silver or gold standard depending on the room and its function. For security we installed a Control4 recommended CCTV system which allowed the client to view and playback live footage from the Control4 on wall 10" touchscreen or on the the many table top touchscreens available around the house and on all the TV screens. The alarm system is also integrated through the Control4 smart home system, showing any windows or doors that are open and movement through the ground floor PIRs. Finally we have a Control4 gate entry system which can be controlled via any touchscreen in the property or via the Control4 app allowing access to trades or family no matter where you are the world. This is only our 1st phase on this project with a custom home cinema room to come!
