Absolutely. With 25+ years of home automation expertise, we’ve built a strong reputation working with architects, interior designers, building and electrical contractors, and property managers. You can collaborate with us to access services like home automation consultancy, home cinema design, installation, project management and ongoing maintenance support.

In smart home terminology, a “scene” is a predefined and synchronized set of actions or settings that can be triggered all at once with a single command or action. It allows you to control multiple smart devices simultaneously, enabling you to create specific environments or scenarios in your home effortlessly. Scenes can be activated through a user-friendly control panel, or even automatically triggered by motion sensors detecting movement. They bring a new level of convenience and efficiency to your smart home experience, allowing you to tailor your environment to your needs and preferences with ease.

Dinis Coelho offers a comprehensive service to facilitate the integration of a KNX project with Crestron, Ctrl4 or Lutron, providing our customers with a seamless and efficient transition.

The cost of each project varies because we tailor our solutions to the specific needs of our customers and your properties. To help you make an informed decision about your smart home investment, we provide a complimentary consultation where we can discuss your needs in detail. Following the consultation, we will provide a detailed quote.

Automation can enhance various areas of your home, including natural and artificial lighting control, security systems, shades for privacy and energy efficiency, lights, HVAC for comfort and energy savings, access control for added security, Wi-Fi connectivity for seamless networking, and the integration of audio and video systems to create a comprehensive home entertainment experience. These smart enhancements make your life more convenient, efficient, and enjoyable.

Unlike other home automation and audio & video integrators, Dinis Coelho isn’t tied into any one particular brand, meaning you enjoy greater freedom and flexibility to choose individual components based on your needs.

Choosing the ideal smart home system is a critical decision. Factors to consider include your specific automation needs, the level of control you desire, the compatibility with your existing devices, and your future expansion plans. Our experts can assist you in evaluating these aspects to ensure you select the perfect smart home system that aligns with your unique requirements and objectives.

While our installations are designed for long-term performance, we’re here to support you in case issues arise. When you need assistance, simply contact us. Every new installation is covered by a comprehensive two-year warranty or eight limited warranty from Lutron. Additionally, we offer a support maintenance service, that includes four annual visits to assess your home automation system. We can further customize support service packages to meet your specific ongoing needs.

That’s perfectly fine. We’re here to provide outstanding service for your home automation needs, whether you’re upgrading an existing system or implementing a brand-new solution.

Centralized and decentralized smart home systems offer distinct advantages. A centralized system consolidates control and intelligence in one unit, simplifying management. On the other hand, a decentralized system disperses intelligence across devices, offering adaptability and flexibility. The choice depends on your specific needs and preferences. Our team is here to help you make an informed decision tailored to your unique requirements.
