A Fixer-Upper Using Control4 Home Automation

Control4 Home Automation Installers UK

For this home automation project in North London, we were asked to take a look at an old system in an amazing house.  There were over 130 Zigbee devices in this property, all on a very old version of Control4.  It took almost three days to update them all.  Apparently the original system had never been finished and it shows!  Here are a few photos to give an idea of what we had to fix..

There were 170 halogen 50 watt downlights throughout the house eating up the electricity bill.  We were tasked with upgrading each one to the latest LED dimming technology.  We chose high-power LED downlights from Aurora, which were 9 watts (equivalent to 40w per fitting), dimmable, 463 lumens, and fire-rated for 30, 60 and 90 minutes. These work really well with Control4 dimming equipment.

In the exterior deck areas every single LED uplight had failed due to water ingress.  Every junction box was also full of water, so we undertook a lengthy process of pulling up the planks, locating and remaking the connections for each box.  We chose an LED uplight from Robus that fit perfectly, and with waterproof 3M connectors we expect this installation to last another 10 years.  These were controlled by a non-dim relay and set to switch on at dusk and off at dawn each night.
