Project Italy started from one clients dream quickly turning into a nightmare.

After meeting our client through a Control4 takeover in the UK we had already fixed his smart home, due to his experience previously he didn’t fancy having Control4 installed in his newly built villa in Italy due to the lack of installers in Italy.

Sadly upon moving in we received a phone call requesting we get over to survey soon as possible which we did, it soon became apparent ipod docking stations were the local solution for multi room audio and Hi  Control was the preferred smart home backbone including the lighting control. 

The Request:

• Control4 App
• Multi Room Audio & add outdoor speakers to the roof top
• Fix various lighting issue
• Gate Entry room
• Fingerprint reader Integration
• Irrigation Integration
• Motorised Canopy & Window Shutter Integration Integration
• Wi-Fi
• CCTV on mobile app

As Installed:

• Control4 EA5 Controller
• Triad Audio Matrix & Amplifier
• 5 x Wi-Fi AP’s & Network
• Hikvision CCTV
• Shelly RGBW controller for colour change LED tape
• Bespoke MODBUS driver and many hours writing string codes from control4 to Hi Bus relays for lighting control
• Control4 DS2 Gate intercom
• Ekey Bus module for controlling control4 scenes.
• Triad Patio series outdoor speakers
• Bond Bridge device and software driver for RF integration into Control4
