Smart home automation design and installation
With smart home automation, your lighting, heating, security and audio work together quietly and effortlessly as one intelligent system.
A home that thinks for itself
Most homes contain a collection of electrical systems and installations. Your heating has its own controls. Your lighting has its own switches. Your security system has its own app.
Each works independently, which means you’re the one doing the coordinating, adjusting, switching, scheduling and checking. It works, but it’s far from effortless.
Our smart home automation solutions change that by bringing everything together into a single, unified system.
Rather than a collection of smart devices that happen to share a network, you get a home that responds to how you live. Your lights can adjust as daylight shifts. Your heating can respond to when you need it. Your security can activate when you leave and disarm when you return. Your music can follow you from room to room.
None of it requires you to manage it, because the system can learn what you need.
That’s the difference between smart devices and genuine home automation. And once you’ve experienced a home that works this way, it’s difficult to imagine going back.
About our smart home automation solutions
Loxone and Control4 are the platforms we use for whole-home automation projects, and we’ve chosen them deliberately.
Unlike systems that bolt together third-party devices and hope for the best, both Loxone and Control4 are designed from the ground up as an integrated ecosystem. Everything communicates and responds to everything else. The result is a system that works reliably for years rather than one that needs constant attention.
Lighting is usually where clients feel the moost immediate difference. Every light in your home becomes part of an intelligent scheme, adjusting automatically based on the time of day, the level of natural light coming in, and who’s in the room. You can create scenes for every occasion and activate them from a keypad, your phone or even by voice. Your morning routine, your dinner party setting and your away mode can all be programmed once and then experienced.
Climate control works in the same joined-up way. Your system can monitor occupancy, outdoor conditions and your preferences, keeping your house comfortable without heating or cooling your empty rooms. It can save energy without you having to think about it.
We can integrate your home security into the same system. Motion detection, door and window sensors, automated alerts and occupancy simulation can all happen when you’re away, all managed from one place, with nothing to juggle between separate apps or panels.
And multi-room audio can complete the picture. Music, radio or podcasts can follow you through the house, and you can control the volume and media source from wherever you are.
Automation makes your life simpler, so you can focus on enjoying your home.

Why Astra Lumos?
Installing a smart home automation system well requires a thorough understanding of how you live, what matters to you, and how your system should be configured to feel natural rather than complicated. That’s where our experience makes the difference.
We design every system from scratch around your home, family and lifestyle. We can work alongside your architect or interior designer from the outset, so the automation is considered as part of the project rather than added at the end. Programming, commissioning and aftercare are all handled by us, and we’re available long after installation to make any changes or refinements as your life changes.
