Who I work with

Whole projects, or the part you need

Complete smart homes for homeowners and self-builders; KNX programming, panel builds and extra capacity for the trade.

Electrical contractors

Your client wants KNX or a smart home and you need help to design and quote it, then get it programmed and commissioned, without hiring a full-time programmer.

Trade services →

AV & smart-home integrators

Extra ETS capacity under your brand when your own programmers are booked up.

Work with me →

M&E consultants & designers

Design reviews, programming specifications and commissioning that matches the design intent.

KNX programming →

Self-builders & homeowners

A complete smart home for a new build or renovation, or help with a system whose installer has moved on.

Services

What I do

A whole smart home from one person, or just the parts you need. Every KNX job ends with a working system and a project file you keep.

Headline offer

Complete smart home projects

I can take a smart home project from design to handover: the KNX design and panel build, programming and commissioning, the Wi-Fi and network, CCTV, door entry and audio/video, then handover and support afterwards.

I design the system and handle setup and commissioning. I can work with your electrician, or bring one in if you need one, and if you'd like a single point of contact for the whole project, I can manage it.

How a whole project works
  • Design and device schedule
  • Installation & cabling with your electrician, or one I bring in
  • KNX panel build
  • ETS programming & commissioning
  • Wi-Fi & network
  • CCTV & door entry
  • Audio & video
  • Handover, documentation & support

Or individual services

KNX programming & commissioning

Addressing, parameters, group addresses, lighting scenes and on-site commissioning, prepared offline where possible.

More on KNX programming & commissioning →

KNX panel builds

KNX distribution boards and enclosures built, wired and labelled, ready to commission and easy to trace later.

More on KNX panel builds →

Wi-Fi & networking

Wi-Fi and wired networks designed and set up so KNX, cameras, door entry and AV have a solid network to run on.

More on Wi-Fi & networking →

CCTV

Camera systems designed, set up and commissioned as part of the wider system.

More on CCTV →

Door entry & access control

Door entry, video intercom and access control designed and set up, and linked to the rest of the system where it makes sense.

More on Door entry & access control →

Audio & video

TVs, home cinema and audio set up to work with the lighting and controls rather than alongside them.

More on Audio & video →

KNX rescue & lost ETS files

Lost ETS project file, installer gone or a fault nobody can trace: devices read, the project rebuilt, documented and handed over to you.

More on KNX rescue & lost ETS files →

Remote ETS programming

KNX projects built in ETS from your drawings and device schedule, anywhere in the UK, delivered ready for your team to download.

More on Remote ETS programming →

Remote support & rescue

ETS changes and fault-finding done remotely, and audits of systems whose installer has moved on.

More on Remote support & rescue →

Lighting control & scenes

Switching, dimming, DALI gateways, presence and scenes set up for how the building is actually used, then tested room by room.

KNX programming →

Changes to existing systems

New rooms, extra devices, revised scenes, or a tidy-up of a project someone else started.

Existing systems →
Rescue & remote support

Installer gone? Lost the ETS project file?

It's more common than you'd think. Without the project file, even a small change becomes guesswork.

I start with an audit of what's installed and what can be read back, then tell you up front what's realistic. Small changes and fault-finding can often be done remotely, anywhere in the UK.

What the audit covers

  • Survey of the panel, devices and lines
  • Check what can be read back from the bus
  • Review of any partial project or documentation
  • Written findings and a quote for the rebuild
  • Remote support afterwards if you need it
How it works

From first message to handover

Send the details

Drawings, device schedule or a description of what's installed. Photos of the panel help.

Short call, clear scope

We agree what's needed and when, and you get a quote before work starts.

Build & programme

Panels and programming prepared off site where possible, then installed and commissioned on site, or changed remotely.

Handover

Scenes tested with you, and the project file and documentation handed over.

About

Who you'll be working with

I'm Paul Hailes, and I run Smartek Systems Ltd from Ryde on the Isle of Wight.

KNX Gold Partner, KNX certified since 2017. I take on complete smart home projects as well as individual pieces of work, and you deal with me directly, from first call to handover. Alongside commissioning I beta test Faradite KNX products and develop my own: ZeroCore, a local-first home battery controller (GivEnergy and SigEnergy) with sales coming soon, and a local AI home controller, in development.
