LUCAME
Home automation
Lighting scenes, blinds, heating and music that behave sensibly and do not need a tutorial. We design, install and commission on Control4, Lutron and LightwaveRF, and tie it into Apple HomeKit where that suits the house.
We spend our week keeping businesses running. Evenings and weekends we do the same for homes across North London: the Wi-Fi that drops in the back bedroom, the lighting system nobody can work, the laptop that takes four minutes to open a browser.
No call-out charge for a look and a conversation. If it is a ten minute fix we will tell you that rather than selling you a system.

Nine times out of ten it is not your broadband. Thick walls, a router hidden in a cupboard by the front door, and one access point trying to cover three floors. We survey the house, measure what actually reaches each room, and fix the coverage.
Cameras that give you a usable picture at two in the morning, not a grey smear. Footage stays on a recorder you own rather than a subscription in someone else's data centre, and you can check the driveway from your phone.
Before you replace it, let us look. An SSD and more memory turns a six year old machine into something usable for a fraction of the cost of a new one. If it genuinely is beyond saving, we will say so.
A new laptop, phone, tablet or TV, working the way you want it before we leave. Everything moved across from the old one, accounts signed in, photos where you can find them, and the old device wiped properly.
Specced to what you actually play and what you want to spend, not to whatever has the best margin. Built, cable managed, stress tested and delivered working. We will also upgrade a machine you already own if that is the better answer.
A drive that has stopped being recognised, a phone that will not turn on, photos deleted by accident. Bring it to us before trying any more software on it, because that is usually what turns a recoverable problem into a permanent one.
Music through the house on one app, and a cinema room where the picture and sound are matched to the space rather than to a box someone sold you. Wired properly, so it still works in five years.
A site for a small business, a club or a side project. Fast, works on a phone, and built so you are not paying someone every time a price changes. We host it too if you would rather not think about it.
Most jobs start with a phone call and a few photos. We can usually tell you from that whether it is a half hour fix or a bigger piece of work, and roughly what it will cost, before anyone comes out.
Ask us. Even if it turns out to be something you can sort yourself in ten minutes, we would rather tell you that than have you wondering.
