Control4 Home Automation & WiFi Upgrade in East Barnet

Summary

An oversized property in need of Smart Home Functionality

In East Barnet, our project involved the home of premier league footballer, Lucas Moura. This Tottenham Hotspur superstar was having difficulties with performing simple things in his ten-bedroom home such as having to turn off lights in multiple rooms and maintaining the quality of his Wi-Fi throughout the property. That’s why it was crucial that we stepped in to help turn the client’s home into a fully-functioning smart house. We wanted to provide him a family home that could allow for his family to enjoy their lives in a secure environment.

To do this, we decided that the home was in need of a Control4 home automation system. Control4 was integrated with equipment fromNest, Dahua, Ubiquiti, Maranta and Epsom. We also installed an access-controlled gate. That way the gate could be controlled from inside the home via his tablet or mobile phone.

The Challenge

A large home that was difficult to maintain

One of the biggest challenges of this property was its size and the build structure. As we had a lot of different upgrades in mind for the house, being able to keep an eye on what was going on in separate areas of the home was a challenge. The Wi-Fi in the property was poor, therefore we installed 57 data points withcat6e cabling. By improving the WiFi coverage of the home to 98% the client could now be connected in all areas of the property.

Project Highlights

  • Control4 Access Control
  • 9 Ubiquiti access points
  • Epsom Home Cinema Projector
  • Control4 Smart Lighting
  • Nest Thermostat Smart Heating
  • Media Server Installation
  • Marantz Surround Sound
  • Garden Wi-Fi
  • Gym and Sauna Automation
  • 4k CCTV Cameras
  • AV/TV distribution
  • 57 Data Points with Cat6e Cabling

The Solution

With 57 data points installed, the property’s Wi-Fi dramatically improved. The smarter security system also meant that unwanted guests could be kept out of the property and the family could feel more secure. Even simpler tasks, such as turning off lights, became easier because they could be controlled through the access control system. The family loved the home cinema we installed in the house so they know have a place they all can relax and enjoy their time.

Client feedback

“My home is completely transformed… I’m delighted!”

Really impressed with how the team at Versed Automation have managed to transform my home in such a short space of time. Not only is it so simple to turn the lights off in my house now, but security has improved (great for peace of mind!) and we even have a cinema room to keep the whole family entertained.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

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!

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

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.
