Waiheke Residence - Simple Entertaining

Integrated home automation, lighting control, entertainment and security in beautiful surrounds.

With the size and complexity of our client’s new home they saw how home automation would simplify their lives.

Priorities included entertainment and a ‘lock and leave’ solution.

This beautiful home features a simple-to-use, robust integration of full home automation control, home theatre, multiroom audio and security.

In this installation Crestron Home and Vantage provide control of lighting, audio, HD video, heating, fireplaces, towel rails, windows, blinds and drapes, louvres, water features, front door, garage door, surveillance and security.  A Cisco hardwired and clustering wireless network was installed to provide a robust Wi-Fi network solution.

Using smart wiring, MySky HD, Blu ray and HD cameras are sent to four viewing locations, with additional rooms pre-wired to allow future expansion.

The multiroom audio system distributes music to 16 zones allowing the owners, guests and family to enjoy their music independently and to provide a party atmosphere when entertaining, with speakers colour matched to the décor to provide high quality audio without detracting from the design of the house.

The clients wanted a generator to be integrated in future in this rural location and so a power conditioner and surge protector protects the equipment from electrical spikes and brown-outs.

The system we designed provides control of the underfloor heating eliminating the room mounted units typically installed by the heating contractor.

The addition of a ceiling tilt unit conceals the master bedroom TV and retains the expansive sea views when not in use.

The security system incorporates internal motion and full perimeter detection, with a surveillance system to keep watch over the property.  Zone status and cameras are viewable on the touch-panels. Smoke and heat detectors are connected to the system for fire detection. Alarm activations turn on all lights. Arming activates “away” mode and shuts off lights, fires and AV systems. Disarming the alarm activates path lighting.

Read our blog about why you need hard wired smoke detectors.

A tiered security system provides our client with a feeling of safety at home and provides total peace of mind.

Powerful yet discrete home theatre and multiroom audio systems blend seamlessly into the home and provide the wow factor the client desired when entertaining friends and family.

All aspects of interior design were carefully considered during the installation to ensure the home wasn’t dominated by technology.

Wall clutter has been eliminated through the use of robust and reliable control systems.

Comfort, convenience, security and excitement are integrated to provide the client with a total technology solution that’s simple, secure, fun and reliable.
