Everything Control4,
done properly.

Control4 supplied, installed and looked after properly, including systems someone else put in. We write our own drivers, so “it can’t be done” is rarely the answer. From a simple set-up to a complex assisted-living home, we can make it happen.

What we do

Whoever installed it, we’ll look after it.

Most of our Control4 work starts with a system somebody else put in. Tell us what you have and we’ll tell you plainly what it needs. If it needs nothing, we’ll say so.

01

System takeovers

Your original installer has closed, moved on or stopped answering the phone. We adopt the system, recover what we can of the project, and take full responsibility for it from then on.

  • Full audit of controllers, network and every connected device
  • Recovery of the Composer project and dealer access
  • Documentation of a system nobody wrote down
  • One accountable point of contact from then on

02

Repairs & diagnostics

Controller offline, remotes not responding, a room that’s quietly dropped out, video that no longer switches. We find the actual cause instead of resetting everything and hoping.

  • Remote diagnosis through Composer where access allows
  • On-site fault finding and repair
  • Replacement of failed controllers, dimmers, keypads and remotes
  • A written explanation of what went wrong and why
Find out more
03

Upgrades & modernisation

Bring an older system up to today’s standard: current OS, modern controllers and remotes, 4K video, and a network that can actually carry it all.

  • Legacy controller replacement and OS 3 migration
  • Halo remotes, T4 touchscreens and keypad refresh
  • Network, Wi-Fi and rack rebuilds
  • Remote access, voice control and app set-up

04

Ongoing service & care

A scheduled health check, and someone to call when the house needs a small change. For owners who’d rather not think about the system until something needs doing.

  • Scheduled system health checks and firmware updates
  • Remote support for small changes and new devices
  • Scene, schedule and comfort tuning as the house changes
  • Priority response for care customers

05

Sales & installation

As registered Control4 dealers we supply, install and maintain the full range, from a single-room cinema to a whole-house system, and look after it for as long as it’s in the house.

  • New Control4 systems designed around how you live
  • Controllers, remotes, touchscreens, keypads and lighting
  • Audio, video, shades, networking and intercom
  • Maintained by the people who installed it
Discuss this
06

Custom work & drivers

The part most installers won’t touch. We write our own Control4 drivers and build the logic behind complex homes, including assisted-living set-ups designed around one person.

  • Our own drivers for products Control4 cannot otherwise talk to
  • Fixing and improving drivers that never worked properly
  • Assisted-living and accessibility programming
  • Deep integration with Loxone, KNX, CCTV, gates and heating

Sales, installation and maintenance

Everything Control4. Supplied, fitted, looked after.

As registered Control4 dealers we supply and install the full range, and we maintain it afterwards. One company for the equipment, the programming and the long-term care, so there’s never a gap between who sold it and who looks after it.

Because the hardware comes through us too, a failed controller, keypad or remote is replaced by the same people who diagnosed it. No chasing a third party.

Custom work

From a simple set-up to a complex assisted-living home.We can make it happen.

Control4 is a strong platform. What makes a house feel finished is the work around it: the logic, the integration, and the driver for the one thing nobody else could connect. That’s the part we specialise in.

Simple

The straightforward set-up

One remote for the living room. Lighting that comes on when it should. A cinema that works first time. Simple, done well, with nothing you won’t use.

Complex

The house that does everything

Lighting, shades, multi-room audio, video, heating, gates, CCTV and intercom on one system, often alongside Loxone or KNX. We build the logic that makes it all feel like one house.

Assisted living

A home built around one person

Large-button control, voice, routines that prompt and reassure, discreet alerts to family or carers, and automation that quietly removes daily friction. Designed with the person and the people who look after them.

We write our own drivers

If Control4 doesn’t talk to it yet, we make it talk.

Pro audio amplifiers, Dante networks, cameras, intercoms, a Loxone or KNX system already in the house. We build the driver, test it on site and document it, so it’s a proper part of the system rather than a workaround. We also fix and improve drivers that were never finished.

Things we’ve brought into Control4

  • LEA Professional amplifiers
  • Dante audio switching and routing
  • TP-Link VIGI cameras and NVRs
  • Loxone Miniservers
  • KNX lighting and heating
  • Gates, garage doors and pool plant

Why owners come to us

Expert hands for the system you already own.

Control4 is the specialism, not a sideline

We’re registered Control4 dealers and partners. The platform is what we work with every day, which means dealer access to Composer, the software, firmware and the technical support behind your home.

We are comfortable taking over

Working on a system we did not install holds no fear for us. We audit first, recover and document what is there, and only then recommend anything.

We can go further than a standard dealer

Because we write our own drivers and build complex logic, we’re rarely stuck. If a project stalled because something couldn’t be integrated, that’s usually where we start.

Documentation comes as standard

Every job ends with a documented installation: what’s fitted, how it’s programmed, and where the project file lives, so it’s never lost again.

Common problems we resolve

  • Controller offline or the app won’t connect
  • Remote stopped responding or won’t pair
  • A room or source has disappeared from the system
  • Keypads and lighting scenes doing the wrong thing
  • Remote access expired or no longer working
  • Original installer gone: no project file, no passwords
  • Controller too old for the current OS
  • A device Control4 has no driver for

If something on this list looks familiar, it’s almost certainly something we’ve dealt with before.

How a takeover works

From someone else’s install to a system you can rely on.

  1. 01

    Tell us about the house

    Send us what you know: the property, roughly what is installed, who installed it, and what is not working as it should. A phone call is usually the quickest start.

  2. 02

    System review

    We look at the controllers, project and network, remotely where access allows and on site where it doesn’t, and tell you plainly what condition the installation is in.

  3. 03

    Documented handover

    We become the dealer responsible for your system, document it properly, and agree in plain English what needs doing first, next and later.

  4. 04

    Works and ongoing care

    Repairs, upgrades and improvements are carried out, then looked after with service visits and remote support for as long as you need us.

Straight answers at every stage. If your system doesn’t need work, we’ll say so.

About the division

The Control4 division of New Forest Technology Services.

New Forest Technology Services is a technology services company working across the New Forest, Hampshire and the surrounding counties. Our Control4 division exists to do two things well: install Control4 properly, and look after Control4 homes properly, whether we installed them or not.

Many of the owners we work with came to us when their original dealer closed, moved away, or stopped answering. Others wanted something their dealer said was not possible. A good number simply wanted a partner who understands the platform and is prepared to keep coming back.

As registered Control4 dealers and partners we work to Control4’s standards, with dealer access to Composer, the software, the documentation and the support behind every installation. Where a job needs a driver that doesn’t exist, our Custom Control team writes it.
