Home Automation

Meet Patrick, founder of Fingerprint Studios in Fareham, the architect in Hampshire we worked with on a Winchester townhouse and are working with next in Reading.

Crestron has added a 15 inch TSW-1580 to its 80 Series touch screens: what it does, where it suits London offices and homes, and what to plan before fitting one.

Crestron Home can now show up to six video sources on one TV. What Multiview does, what it needs and how we add it to new and existing homes in London.

An installer's comparison of the six home automation systems we are asked about most, with a table of what each does best, typical budgets, and new build or retrofit.

The way we experience audio and video in our homes has evolved dramatically. With modern residential AV solutions, homeowners can now enjoy seamless entertainment, immersive audio, and smart automation that enhances their everyday lives. From multi-room audio to dedicated home cinemas, smart technology is redefining convenience and luxury in residential spaces.
