Project Overview
After seeing our Westhouse Avenue case study this client got in contact with us as they live on the same street, and were experiencing the same issue with their 20 year old Siemens lighting system.
After having our initial consultation, it was clear this client was wanting to focus heavily on smart lighting, as the existing system had been irritating them for quite some time. The beauty with the smart home system we install is the ability to expand whenever you want, meaning you don't need to do everything at once. So although this client was wanting to focus on smart lighting, they can now implement additional smart features without any hassle later on.
As with our Westhouse Avenue project, the main priority was removing the old Siemens smart lighting system so that we could install our modern upgrade. After removing the Siemens components, we started to install the Shelly Pro Dimmer 2PMs, Shelly Pro 4PMs, and the Shelly LAN Switches. All of these Shelly devices are installed on a DIN rail, allowing us to easily swap them for the Siemens components so we can utilise the existing board that houses everything. All of these Shelly devices are wired to the home network, ensuring a solid and reliable connection at all times.
For the switches, we went with the Retrotouch Friends of Hue switch. The client really liked the look of this switch with it's glossy black buttons and glass frame. Unlike most smart switches, this switch didn't require any wiring or batteries, because these smart switches are kinetic. This meant we could easily retrofit them without causing any damage to the property, and without the client needing to swap batteries every couple of years. These switches run over the Zigbee protocol, which we deployed with Zigbee2MQTT and a SMLIGT SLZB-06 coordinator (the best Zigbee coordinator we have used). The Zigbee network was correctly deployed in accordance with their WiFi network as to not cause any overlap with channels.
It wouldn't be a Luxeia home without the central home control app, which we installed onto all of the clients devices, allowing them to monitor and control their home from anywhere in the world. Now that's the ultimate peace of mind!
