Smart Home Ascot


Smart Home Ascot
We were commissioned to design and deliver a fully integrated smart home system for a high-end private residence in Ascot. The client required intuitive whole-home control, high-quality distributed audio, robust security, high-grade network, Wi-Fi and seamless integration of environmental systems, both indoors and across the landscaped grounds.
Solution Overview
At the heart of the property is a Control4 automation platform, providing centralised and reliable control of audio, climate, security, access, and garage door automation. The solution was designed to be elegant, scalable, and simple to use for all occupants.
Smart Control & User Interface
Control4 smart touchscreens were strategically installed in the hall, landing, living room, and master suite, giving the homeowner immediate access to key systems throughout the property. From these interfaces, the client can manage music, security, climate, and access with a consistent and intuitive user experience.
Multi-Room Audio
A Sonance distributed audio system was deployed across eight independent zones, delivering high-quality sound throughout the home. This system includes discreetly installed landscape speakers in the garden, ensuring indoor-to-outdoor audio performance for everyday and entertaining.
High-Performance Network & Wi-Fi
To ensure reliable performance across all smart home systems, we designed and installed a high-grade wired and wireless network infrastructure throughout the property. Enterprise-level networking equipment provides robust, secure connectivity for Control4, audio streaming, CCTV, and remote access, while strategically positioned wireless access points deliver fast, seamless Wi-Fi coverage across the house and landscaped grounds. The result is a stable, future-proof network that supports current demands and future expansion without compromise.

Climate Integration
Underfloor heating and air conditioning systems were fully integrated into Control4 using a CoolMaster interface. Using this allows unified climate control across the home, with simple adjustment via touchscreens or mobile devices, improving both comfort and energy efficiency.
Security, Access & CCTV
New Wave AV delivered a comprehensive security solution, including:
Integration with the intruder alarm system
Gate intercom and DS2 access control
Full CCTV coverage of the house and surrounding grounds
All security elements are accessible via the Control4 system, providing real-time monitoring and control from a single platform.
Garage & Property Access
We also integrated Garage doors into the Control4 ecosystem, allowing secure operation and status feedback alongside the rest of the home’s systems.
Outcome
The completed installation provides the client with a powerful yet easy-to-use smart home. This unifies entertainment, climate, security, and access into one cohesive system. The result is a future-proof solution that enhances everyday living while maintaining the clean aesthetics expected of a premium Ascot residence.
