Smart Home Control Systems – Simplifying Everyday Living

​

Control systems are designed to eliminate the need for users to have in-depth technical knowledge while providing seamless operation of an entire property, or individual rooms, from a single, intuitive interface, typically a touchscreen.

​

Enhancing Your Living Space

​

If you've created an inspiring space, why not elevate it further with integrated music and a hidden TV, maintaining aesthetics without compromising functionality? These features, along with lighting, climate, and security, can all be controlled effortlessly via a touchscreen with a streamlined interface. With a single press, users can activate individual functions or execute multiple actions simultaneously.

​

The Reality of Smart Home Technology

​

Many so-called "smart" systems are merely a collection of independent apps that lack true integration, often confined to Apple or Android devices. In contrast, a true Smart Home system (also known as Domotica or automação) ensures seamless interaction between devices, allowing for event-based automation—where a single action triggers multiple responses across the home.

However, simplicity is key. A smart system is only truly “smart” if it reduces complexity, eliminates repetitive tasks, and proactively alerts users to faults or potential issues. If a system is difficult to use, it defeats the purpose of automation.

​

Seamless Home Control

​

Ever struggled to adjust an underfloor heating thermostat? Many require a manual just to change the temperature. With a centralized touchscreen interface, users can control heating in individual rooms or throughout the home with ease. For instance, setting the home alarm to “Away” can automatically adjust the heating to an energy-saving mode—enhancing both convenience and efficiency.

What to Expect on Our Touchscreens

Our smart control interfaces provide intuitive access to essential home functions, including:

✔ Lighting & Scene Control – Adjust lighting levels and moods instantly.
✔ Climate & Heating – Manage underfloor heating, air conditioning, and thermostats            seamlessly.
✔ Entertainment & Audio – Control multi-room audio and hidden displays effortlessly.
✔ Security & Access Control – Monitor cameras, door locks, and alarms from one                  interface.
✔ Automated Scheduling & Event Triggers – Set routines that simplify daily tasks.

​

A well-designed control system should make life easier, not more complicated.

Touch screen systems can control Thermostats/Alarms/CCTV/TV's/Satellite & Cable boxes/Music/Video servers/Projectors/Intercoms....the list goes on. Simply put, the touch screen should give you simple access to everything around you.

​

The above screen shots are from our main control system type, manufactured by AMX. 

AMX can be programmed to do pretty much anything required, however you would like it to operate - We write our own software and device drivers, so if its possible - we can do whatever you wish. This differs from, say, Control4 where the device software has been written by the manufacturer and the programmer is simply "configuring" the system. This has good points and bad points. The good points are that it is quicker and possibly cheaper. The bad points are lack of customisation, software faults have to be fixed by the manufacturer(so it takes time), your system will be built around what software is available to the installer rather than writing a system for the right equipment for the project.

​

With our AMX solution your are able to have full functionality across multiple types of devices - Here we have a high end hand held remote, AMX Wall panel and Apple iPad

If you're not sure which would be best, ask us. We are happy to guide you in the right direction. Touchscreen control is not for everyone, but it does make day to day running of larger properties much easier and much simpler for people who have no interest in the technicalities of how things work - they just want them to work.

​

Do you have an existing AMX system that requires updates or reprogramming? We can help! 

Have another manufacturers control system that doesn't work or out of date? We can give you update options, whilst still using most of your existing equipment (if it is still operating)

Looking for a Programmer?

​

Do you need a programmer for a project and do not have a programmer in your company? We can act as an independent programming service on your behalf, off and on site. Your company can install your system and we will provide the programming for your system with your Logo's and panel design. We have a lot of experience with Residential, Commercial, Education and Super Yacht. We can write device drivers, if they are not already available, modify existing programs(as long as you have the source code) or do everything from scratch based on a specification.

At the end of the project, everything is handed over to you and it becomes yours to modify later or hand to others to modify.

Need the AMX equipment and a design? We can help with that too. Call us!
