Aussie Integrator eXperience ONE Passes Ultra-Modern Smart Home Test

When a young couple approached Brisbane, Australia-based integration firm eXperience ONE to design and install smart home technologies in their new house, system designer Mat Daley knew he’d have to balance delivering sophisticated solutions that also virtually disappear into the home’s ultra-modern aesthetic.

“These clients created a boldly-styled, uniquely modern home with a focus on art and outdoor entertaining,” Daley says.

“Our role was to make the home easier to use while providing special features such as keyless entry for the babysitter with push alerts that notify the homeowners of her arrival. Since they had clearly spent a lot of time designing the home itself, we chose products that could blend into the environment and reduce the visibility of technology overall.”

To achieve the desired look and feel, Daley and eXperience ONE designed the home’s systems with flush-mounted Control4 touchscreens, custom-painted Triad speakers, custom-engraved buttons for the Control4 dimmers and keypads, and wireless control of TVs, speakers, motorized window shades, climate systems and security.

The design also consolidated the electronic footprint in the home to a single room by installing most of the required hardware and AV devices into an equipment rack.

“The clients had used some individual smart products in their previous residence, and they wanted to avoid having speakers on tables or having to use a bunch of different apps just to manage the living room,” Daley adds.

“We showed them how professional-grade smart home tech can actually benefit a space’s ambiance by providing precise control of lighting, window shades and climate systems to create whatever experience they desire. While their prior experience had shown that sometimes gadgets can complicate a room, our solutions built with Snap One products are designed to make everything simpler.”

Smart Home Conveniences Win Over eXperience ONE Clients

Like many first-time smart home users, the couple wasn’t 100% sure what to expect. In particular, the wife had concerns over boxy equipment ending up in visible spaces and wasn’t fully aware of how much a full-fledged smart home solution would benefit her daily activities and appreciation for the house.

After months of living in the completed home, they said they would never go back to a non-smart home.

The exterior gate has security and surveillance, and a Control4 scene triggers carport and pathway lighting.

“The client actually said to me, ‘If you have female customers who are hesitant about adding tech to their home, tell them to call me and I’ll share how happy I am with it and how much better the home is because of the smart technologies,’” Daley says.

“They both agreed they have no intention of ever living in a ‘dumb’ home again. I couldn’t ask for a better client testimonial!”

As a busy couple working full-time jobs and raising a family, their list of must-have features also included robust security, surveillance, door locks and outdoor lighting.

Through Control4, eXperience ONE tied together all of these systems and created scenes such as ‘Welcome Home’ lighting that illuminates the carport when they open the driveway gate, and then lights up a path from the carport to other areas.

Whenever they are away from home, the owners can easily check the status of any system, including viewing live surveillance camera feeds and arranging automatic alerts for when their babysitter enters or leaves the house using her specific entry code.

Home Theater, Custom Touches Add to Project Success

For daily in-home control, they mostly use Neeo Remotes for Control4, which offer a touchscreen and full access to all of the connected systems.

“Special features like the outdoor TV and the ability to activate the pool’s waterfall feature from the Control4 mobile app show the owners and their guests that there are countless possibilities for professional integrators to add fun and helpful technologies to their living spaces,” Daley says. “It’s a vastly different experience to live in a home where you can turn off every light at night with one touch on your smartphone and arm your security system from bed.”

When it’s movie time, the home’s media room provides a theater-level experience by pairing a Triad Bronze Series 5.1.2 surround sound system with a 4K projector and screen. The Triad speakers are custom-painted to match the walls and blend seamlessly into the room. (In other areas, motion detectors are similarly painted to match various surfaces.)

The home theater installed by eXperience ONE incorporates a 5.1.2 Triad Speakers surround-sound configuration.

Since technology is always evolving, eXperience ONE’s standard wiring package for new construction projects includes extra in-wall cabling that makes future additions much simpler and more affordable to implement.

“Once a project is complete, we become a technology consultant to help ensure each client gets maximum satisfaction and utility from their systems,” Daley says.

“We provide a full year of free system customization as they settle into the new house and become familiar with the capabilities of the system. We also handle manufacturer’s warranty claims for the client if they arise and we give a lifetime warranty on our workmanship, and we provide product selection assistance when they want to add or upgrade items in their home.”
