Interior automation

A smart home
that never
lets you down.

We design, install and program whole-home automation for villas, apartments and penthouses across the UAE. KNX underneath for reliability, Control4 on top for the interface your family actually uses.

The honest version

Most “smart homes” are just a drawer full of apps.

Buying clever devices is not the same as having an intelligent house. This is what people call us to fix.

01

Five devices, five apps

Every lamp, camera and socket comes with its own app and its own password. Turning the lights off and closing the blinds means two different screens.

02

No internet, no smart home

These devices work through the internet and somebody else's servers. Lose the connection and the lights only work from the switch on the wall.

03

Buy one brand, keep it forever

Devices from one brand only work with each other. You cannot add a lamp from another maker. And if the brand stops making them, you replace the lot at once.

04

Nobody to call when it breaks

Shop-bought kit is sold, not serviced. When something needs changing, or you add a room, you are the one looking for help.

How we build

Industrial-grade wiring. Everyday ease of use.

Two proven platforms, each doing the job it is genuinely best at.

KNX

The engineering layer

The international standard for building control, trusted for over 30 years. It makes the house reliable rather than merely connected.

  • An open standard, ISO/IEC 14543-3 — no single brand owns it.
  • Over 8,000 certified products from more than 500 manufacturers.
  • Runs locally, without a constant internet connection. KNX Secure encryption.

Control4

The experience layer

The interface your household lives with every day: one app, one remote, one set of scenes across every room.

  • Control4 OS X4 on CORE series controllers — lighting, climate, shades, video and security in one place.
  • Installed and programmed only by certified integration professionals.
  • Local control is included; remote access comes with the Connect subscription.

Two systems. One house.

Control4 connects to KNX natively — no third-party gateway in the middle. The ETS project imports straight into the Control4 project, so you get the robustness of the bus and the polish of the interface as one coherent system.

Systems

What we take under control

Every category below is a certified KNX device class — this is the standard's own scope, not a wish list.

Lighting

Circuits, dimming, colour and colour temperature, façade and landscape lighting, keypads that make sense without a manual.

Climate & HVAC

Per-room temperature, fan coils, underfloor heating, ventilation and humidity, coordinated instead of fighting each other.

Shading & blinds

Motorised curtains, roller blinds and external shading that track the sun and the Gulf heat automatically.

Security & access

Access control, door stations, presence and leak detection, integrated with lighting and scenes rather than bolted on.

Energy management

Metering and load control, so you can see where consumption goes and shed it when it makes sense.

Scenes & automation

Morning, Away, Evening, Movie, Guests — one press puts the whole house into a considered state.

Audio & video

Multiroom audio, cinema and media rooms, sources and displays under the same interface as everything else.

Remote control

Wall keypads, touch panels, handheld remotes and the mobile app — the same logic on every surface.

How it works

One tap, and the whole room changes.

Lighting, shades, climate and security live in one app and in the same scenes. Switch systems and press something — the room on the left responds.

Evening

The lights fade to a warm, low level, the blinds close and the air conditioning eases back for the night.

and any others your routine needs

This is control from the app. The same thing works from a wall panel, a remote or your voice.

Scope

How far it goes is your call

There are no ready-made packages: the scope is assembled around your property and the way you live. Three typical levels below, as a place to start.

01

Foundation

The part you use every day, and the part that pays for itself first.

  • KNX lighting control across the whole property
  • Motorised shading in the main rooms
  • Per-room climate control
  • Keypads and a wall touch panel
  • Scenes built around your routine
  • ETS project, documentation and handover training

Scope and price follow the site survey

02

Whole home

One interface across every system at once.

  • Everything in Foundation
  • Control4 OS X4 on a CORE series controller
  • Multiroom audio and video distribution
  • Access control and door station integration
  • Presence, leak and smoke detection tied into scenes
  • Mobile app with local control, remote access optional

Scope and price follow the site survey

03

Residence

Where every system in the house is designed as one.

  • Everything in Whole home
  • Dedicated cinema or media room
  • Façade, landscape and pool lighting
  • Energy metering and load management
  • Redundant network design and structured cabling
  • Priority support and scheduled system reviews

Scope and price follow the site survey

Discuss this scope

Each level is a starting point, not a price list. Some of it you will want and some of it you will not — that gets settled at the site survey.

Process

You always know what happens next

No surprises, no silent weeks. Five stages from first call to a house that works.

  1. 01

    Consultation & brief

    We look at the floor plans, the stage of works and — more importantly — how you actually live. The outcome is a scope, not a sales pitch.

  2. 02

    Design & ETS project

    System topology, device schedule, panel layout and cable routes. You approve the design before a single item is ordered.

  3. 03

    Supply

    Equipment sourced through official channels and delivered to site, with the schedule aligned to your construction programme.

  4. 04

    Installation & programming

    Wiring, panel build, ETS commissioning and Control4 programming. Scenes are tuned on site, with you in the room.

  5. 05

    Handover & support

    Training for the household and staff, full documentation handed over, and a support line that answers after the invoice is paid.

Questions

The things people ask before they call

It depends on the number of controlled circuits far more than on floor area — two apartments of the same size can differ several times over. We quote after a technical survey of the property and a scope you have approved, so the figure you receive is the figure you pay.

Often, yes. KNX is not only a wired bus: the standard also covers wireless RF and powerline devices alongside twisted pair, which makes retrofit possible without stripping the property back to brick. How far we can go without construction work depends on the building, so this is decided during the survey.

Ideally before the electrical first fix, while cable routes are still on paper — that is when automation costs the least and delivers the most. If the renovation is already under way, call us anyway; the earlier we see the drawings, the more options remain open.

They are excellent at being single devices and poor at being a house. Each one depends on a manufacturer's cloud, speaks only to its own app, and stops working the day that brand loses interest. KNX was built as a building standard instead of a product line, which is why it is still running installations three decades old.

The house keeps working. Core KNX functions — lighting, climate, shading, scenes, keypads — run locally on the bus without relying on a constant internet connection. What you lose is remote access from outside the property, which comes back as soon as the line does.

Not by the technology. KNX is an open standard and your ETS project is handed to you, so any certified KNX professional can read, service and extend the installation. The Control4 side is programmed with manufacturer tools available to authorised dealers — that is Control4's model, and we tell you plainly rather than after the fact.

The automation schedule tracks the construction schedule rather than running on its own clock — commissioning can only start once power and finishes are at the right stage. You get a dated programme with the design, and we flag any slippage as it happens instead of at the end.

Equipment carries its manufacturer warranty, and our workmanship and programming are covered by our own terms, which are set out in the contract before you sign it. After handover we stay reachable for adjustments, additions and scene changes.

KNX training, on the record

KNX is not a word to put on a website — it is a standard someone has to be able to programme. This certificate comes from the KNX Association in Brussels.
