Smart Home Automation Specialists in Reading, Berkshire

“Avinu designed and installed our home media and computer systems in a new apartment in 2008. Messrs. Roberts and Farquar were knowledgeable and imaginative in the design and professional and and punctual in its installation. The after sales service has been attentive. They are delightful people to work with and have become personal friends.”

“There are many AV enthusiasts, but few real professionals who take on board your actual requirements and prescribe, design and install the perfect system for your budget and desire. Matt Cupper at Adept designed and installed a brilliant home cinema and audio visual system for my new home in Henley on Thames. I didnt want to spend lots or have every room in the house with ridiculous speakers that we would never use. Adept designed a Steinway Lyngdorf home cinema which is unbelievably good ( no more trips to the cinema for us), and added a Steinway stereo system for the den and outside speakers for party time, brilliant job, met budget, exceeded expectations. I highly recommend them.”

“5 bedroom detached house at the end of a gated cul- de- sac. I wanted to retro fit my property with some Smart Home Technology without having to tear down walls and redecorate the whole place. The property was bought with some cabling installed with the prospect of buying a bolt on option from the developer, but this did not appear to be the right fit for me. I was unhappy with the lack of lighting control as I was unable to control the whole room from the existing switches. The heating control didn’t give me enough flexibility to manage different parts of the house and the alarm system lacked coverage and had outdated controls. Nicolai was recommended to me through a friend that had already used his services. He understood my concerns and offered solutions and options that would work specifically for me. He managed the process professionally and kept me informed throughout the whole integration. His costs were much more realistic and were broken down to offer me alternative options. I now have a much more flexible lighting control system so I do not have to go from one end of the room to the other to control different lights. They can all be controlled from my phone or iPad which sits in a wall in a docking station. It also gave me the opportunity to create even more mood lighting. Additionally, my garage door and front gate have been integrated and I can also control them from the iPad. I have much better AV control which I benefit from every day. I have an HDMI matrix with 2 Sky boxes, amplifiers, multiple TVs and a whole house sound system. It is seamless and easy to control from one single device. I also have a robust network infrastructure, which Nicolai highly recommended. This offers me whole house Wi-Fi coverage. An inefficient router from my broadband provider was replaced by a number of access points and now I have one big well working network that I don't have to think about any more. I had to give up my coat cupboard in order to house the server but It is out of the way and something that I don’t need to think about. All in all an excellent service was provided.”
