Installation of a Bespoke Control4 Home Automation System In Chelsea

Summary

The creation of a fully-functioning smart home to enjoy life

We were contacted to work on a six-bedroom house with a basement conversion in Chelsea. Ultimately, the client wanted a smart home because she desired to increase the amount of smart home functionality around her house. In turn, this would allow her to improve her lifestyle.

What made this project unique was that our main aim was to install a bespoke Control4 automation system at the same time as working with alongside our clients M & E contractor, architect and interior designer and we had to ensure we worked in line with the design and plans submitted to us.

To add to the Control4 automation system, we looked into creating 6 Ubiquiti Wi-Fi access points to improve the network of her home.

The Challenge

Working through the schedule of others

Although we did not experience many challenges during the project, it was a challenge to work alongside the client’s architect as the architect followed a schedule that was not in line with how home automation systems are installed. We needed to be able to maintain our own schedule and move forward without delay and we managed to complete the installation with the timescales set by the client.

Project Highlights

  • Control4 Access Control
  • Sony 4k Home Cinema Projector
  • SonosWireless Surround Sound
  • Control4 Window Treatment
  • Control4 Mood Lighting
  • 6 Ubiquiti WiFi Access Points
  • 16 Channel Hikvision CCTV
  • Nest Smart Heating
  • Mobile App with Door Entry Features
  • Fail safe Dual Internet Line
  • AV Distribution
  • 28 Cat6e Cable Data Points

The Solution

Overall, the project was a success. Not only did we install a Control4 automation system, but we even installed a home cinema for our client to enjoy as well. The automation system allowed the client to control her mood lighting, security and the temperature of her environment. The control4 system was also integrated with Sonos and Ubiquiti WiFi Access points. To strengthen her network further, we also installed 28 cat 6e cable data points. All of these functions could be accessed from a wall-mounted tablet or mobile device. Needless to say, the client was ecstatic with the result!

5 Star Rating Trustpilot

Versed Automation
5.0 OUT OF 5

I recently had the pleasure of working with Verserd Automation, they supplied and installed Lutron lighting and a cinema room. The team was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, ensuring that every aspect of the installation was seamless. The lighting system has transformed the ambience of our home, I couldn’t be happier with the service and products offered. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their home.

I am over the moon that the Starlink internet system was completed in time for Christmas, as we had visitors coming and no internet coverage. Living in the outskirts of Llandudno, we were only able to achieve 8mbps. However, thanks to Barry’s recommendation and the team at Versed Automation, we are now getting 280mbps throughout the whole house. Everyone’s happy!

They installed 13 Unifi CCTV cameras, smart floodlights, and set up a Unifi network which included 5 wireless access points, with great WiFi coverage even in our garden now. Yamen went above and beyond by recommending, supplying and installing a fully integrated home automation system. The URC system is amazing and would highly recommend Versed automation 5 stars.

Kingsley Northwood

We inherited a “smart house” from previous owners, which stopped working a few days after we moved in. Versedautomation was brilliant at sorting everything out, in spite of having to work on someone else’s preinstalled system, offered very effective solutions, listened to all our requests and even sorted out what Sky engineers couldn’t do. Thank you!

Anna Sizova

Solid planning and spec and seamless execution and snagging. Great service all round

Mark Summerhayes

Versed were great. I had recently moved into a property with speakers throughout, no amps and unlabelled wires left by the previous owner, as well as a Unify wifi network that I didnt have full control of, as well as a few other tech things i was struggling with. Tried a few other companies who were totally uninterested in helping. Versed were more than happy. Yamen came round and was super helpful, working out what all the wiring was, showing me how everything worked. Particularly pleased with their cost effective solution to sourcing amps, getting the right ones for each room (bedroom vs basement cinema room) rather than just suggesting the most expensive for all. Really personal service, able to whatsapp and just generally very helpful for me who is not great at this stuff! Even popped back when I was struggling with one of the rooms. All working great, couldnt recommend more highly. Will be using them im sure when I want to upgrade anything! Thanks Yamen and team.

Glenn Passley

We had been having WiFi issues, Luke could not have been more helpful in sorting them out and making sure that everything was working fully before leaving, many thanks

Larissa

So I am very late on this review (sorry time flys when you are a new dad) - but a few months back Versedautomation installed 13 Unifi CCTV cameras, smart flood light and setup a Unifi network with 5 wireless access points and multiple switches for me in Orpington. They have done a brilliant job, even managing to get hold of the equipment somehow when everyone was out of stock! The system is still running flawlessly, the cables are all well managed and hidden away (even tidied some of my own bad cable management). We now have great WiFi in the garden when working from home, my cars that get updates over WiFi now finally have a perfect signal and actually get updates and the cameras give great piece of mind.
