Smart Home Installation UK

One Platform.
Complete Architectural Control.

SH-PRO is a unified control platform for Architects, Designers, and Luxury Residential Developers. One interface for lighting, climate, security, and media across the entire property, built on a certified KNX and Lutron backbone.

Winner: Smart Home Automation System of the Year

Engineered Around the Property, Not the Other Way Around

A real smart home is one platform, one interface, and every system working together. SH-PRO is our flagship automation platform, built to replace aging legacy systems with something simpler, more capable, and engineered around the property itself.

It runs on our signature 3D Spatial Digital Twin: a live, interactive replica of the property where every system is visible and controllable at a glance. Lighting, climate, security, blinds, and media, all in one view.

From our Buckinghamshire base, we design, install, and support premium smart home systems across the UK, with local installers nationwide. Every system is specified to the exact layout of the property, so the client invests only in the infrastructure and features the project actually requires.

One Platform.
Every System. One Property.

SH-PRO brings lighting, climate, security, media, and more into a single live view, with every floor of the property always in sight. Tap any system to control it, or trigger a scene to orchestrate the whole estate.

Any system, one interfaceLocal-first hubAI detectionWorks offline

Whole-property view, every floor

See every system across ground and upper floors at once: no switching between rooms or apps.

Scenes & automations

One tap sets the scene: lighting, blinds, climate, media and security all respond together, instantly.

Local-first, on-site by default

The system runs on a local hub inside the property. Your data stays on-site, and core control keeps working even without an internet connection.

Try the demo: tap the lights to switch them ON/OFF, open the Presets to trigger a scene, or tap the camera icon to see AI object detection in action.

How SH-PRO Compares to Legacy Systems

For years, a handful of premium systems defined home automation. They built the category and earned their reputation. But how we live in our properties has shifted, and so has what modern engineering makes possible.

SH-PRO is the modern replacement. A unified automation platform built on the principles that matter now: universal integration, local-first privacy, and a system shaped around the property rather than the other way around. Here is how it compares on the things that count.

Recent Projects

We design, install, and support complete smart home systems across the UK, handling everything from specification to commissioning and ongoing support. A selection of recent work:

Modern house exterior designed and prepared for full smart home automation installation.

Luxury Estate Automation, Spain.

Seven-bedroom new build, 3,264 sq ft. Over 150 systems unified into one interface. We coordinated directly with the client’s electrical contractor during the build, so the infrastructure supported full automation from day one.

Fully-fledged Smart Home

New-Build Automation, Hertfordshire.

Five-bedroom new build. Lighting, climate, blinds, CCTV, and audio across three floors from one interface. Installed on a wired backbone during construction, specified alongside the build rather than retrofitted afterwards.

Modern smart living room featuring integrated LED ceiling lighting, automated lighting scenes, and a connected home entertainment setup

Full Smart Home Installation, Buckinghamshire.

Four-bedroom property. Lighting, security, and energy unified into one interface, optimised around occupancy and off-peak periods. Designed around the existing wiring, with no rewiring required.

FAQs

SH-PRO is a unified control platform that runs every system in the property from one interface. Lighting, climate, security, blinds, audio, networking and energy work together instead of as separate apps.
 
Control runs through a 3D Spatial Digital Twin: a live, interactive model of the property showing every system on every floor. It works on smartphone, tablet, computer and smart TV across iOS, Android and web, alongside wall panels, keypads and voice control.
Yes. Working with trade partners is central to how we operate. We join at design stage and coordinate the M&E and automation specification with your team, so containment, cabling and keypad positions are agreed before first fix.
 
You keep control of the design intent. We handle automation, integration and commissioning, then hand over cleanly. Electricians can read our Electrician FAQ.
We keep what works and replace what doesn’t. SH-PRO takes over control of existing lighting, climate, AV and security wherever the equipment allows, so the client isn’t paying to replace hardware that still does its job.
 
The result is one platform and one interface in place of a patchwork of controllers and apps. More on replacing a legacy system.
Where the project allows, yes. New builds and full refurbishments get a wired KNX backbone, the open standard for building automation, built for reliability and scale.
 
On retrofits, or where KNX isn’t specified, we use professional-grade alternatives designed around the existing wiring. SH-PRO sits on top either way, so the client gets the same experience.
No. Every device connects to an on-site server, so control and automations keep working during an internet outage. Footage and automation history stay on site by default.
 
Only remote access and push notifications pause. With Always On, a 4G/5G backup line takes over automatically.
The infrastructure is open. On KNX projects the client receives the ETS project file at handover, the standard file any certified KNX partner can work from, along with the device schedule, network documentation and admin credentials.
 
SH-PRO is our own platform, so we maintain and update it ourselves as part of our Management & Infrastructure Subscription.
Ongoing support runs through our Management & Infrastructure Subscription. It covers remote access to the app from outside the property, maintenance and software updates. It’s optional, but we recommend it for every installation. Without it, everything inside the property keeps running.
 
Most issues are fixed remotely, with no wait for a site visit. Where a visit is needed, we quote it and agree the cost before we attend. Hardware carries the manufacturer’s warranty.
Every project is priced to the property. Three things drive the price: its size, how many systems are integrated, and whether it’s a new build, a retrofit or a full KNX installation.
 
We start with a Free Consultation. Most proposals are prepared from drawings and project details, with a site survey where needed. For typical ranges and per-square-metre benchmarks, see our Cost Guide.
