01 — The site

A smart home begins long before the first device is installed.

Before the site, a model. Before the model, a drawing.

Every project begins on the drawing board.

  1. 01Completed building
  2. 02Foundation
  3. 03Empty land
  4. 04Scale model
  5. 05Digital 3D model
  6. 06CAD drawing
  7. 07Design desk

02 — Structure

Rebuilt the way it was built.

From drawing to model to foundation: the geometry every cable will follow.

03 — Electrical

Intelligence begins behind the walls.

  1. 01Lighting circuits
  2. 02Power circuits
  3. 03Shading control
  4. 04HVAC control wiring
  5. 05Automation cabling
  6. 06Low-voltage routes

04 — Network

One signal, traced to its source.

Every route is planned, labelled and documented before a wall is closed.

  1. 01CAT6A
  2. 02Fibre
  3. 03Wi-Fi
  4. 04CCTV
  5. 05Access control
  6. 06Audio / video
  7. 07Data
  8. 08Automation bus

Main distribution board

Every circuit, one room.

Four cabinet bays against a flat concrete wall, in a windowless electrical room off the living room.

  1. 01Conduits & cable entry
  2. 02Distribution cabinet
  3. 03DIN rails & wire ducts
  4. 04Wiring dressed
  5. 05Main switches & surge protection
  6. 06Circuit breakers
  7. 07P5 OptiLite controllers
  8. 08FutureNow FNIP-8x10A-12
  9. 09OptiLite motor & relay outputs

05 — The rack

The heart of the house, built to be serviced.

  1. 01Cables from the ladder tray
  2. 0242U rack, 100 cm deep
  3. 03Cable entry & lighting
  4. 04Cat6A patch panels
  5. 05Router & switching
  6. 06Control4 CORE 5
  7. 07Episode amplifier
  8. 08Recorder & internet
  9. 09Power & UPS

Main distribution board

Every circuit, in the order it was built.

Four bays of breakers, Control4 relays, FutureNow and P5 OptiLite modules, fed from the top and wired to every room.

Main distribution board

FutureNow FNIP-8x10A-12

An 8-channel Ethernet relay unit: the board’s smart switching.

  1. 01Local inputs
  2. 02Automation integration
  3. 03Smart lighting control
  4. 04Scene control
  5. 05Relay & load control

05 — The rack

One rack runs the house.

Network, control, audio, recording and power in one 100 cm-deep 42U rack, fed from the ladder trays and on battery backup.

05 — The rack

Control4 CORE 5

  1. 01Smart home processor

06 — Finished

The engineering disappears behind the finishes.

Back the way we came, through the same doorways: the rack and the board stand finished, the server-room door is hung, and the living room is finished around the same opening, its door closed.

07Comfort

Your environment should adapt before you need to ask.

Morning scene: the sheers draw back and the room fills with light.

Comfort

One wall, the whole room.

The Control4 T5 touch screen above, the Nest thermostat below: light, scenes, shades and climate from one place.
