Smart homes in Ilkeston
The Erewash corridor sits between Nottingham and Derby, which makes DE7 one of the busier commuter belts we cover. The housing is mostly inter-war and post-war semi-detached and detached, with pockets of larger modern housing around West Hallam, Dale Abbey and Mapperley village — and that stock is genuinely good news for retrofit.
Cavity walls, accessible loft space and joisted first floors give us the cable routes that period stone properties do not. Most DE7 retrofits happen without replastering, which keeps both the cost and the disruption considerably lower than people expect when they first enquire. It is one of the easier areas we work in.

One system. Everything.
A single Loxone Miniserver runs every one of these from one app — no separate hubs, no cloud subscriptions, no battery-change reminders. Most Ilkeston customers start with one or two and extend later.
CCTV
Professionally sited IP camera systems across the East Midlands. Recording stays on your property, footage is actually usable at night, and there is no per-camera cloud subscription.
From £1,400 ex-VAT →Energy & EV
Energy monitoring, solar self-consumption, EV charge scheduling and tariff-aware load shifting across the East Midlands. See where it goes, then stop it going there.
From £2,200 ex-VAT →Home cinema
Dedicated cinema rooms, media rooms and garden-room cinemas across the East Midlands. Screen, sound, seating, lighting and blackout designed together — then wired, calibrated and handed over working.
From £6,450 ex-VAT →Network & cabling
Cat6 structured cabling, designed Wi-Fi coverage and tidy comms racks across the East Midlands. The unglamorous layer that decides whether everything else in the house actually works.
From £1,600 ex-VAT →Garden lighting
Exterior lighting design and installation across the East Midlands. Layered, properly dimmed and automated on sunset — so the garden becomes somewhere you actually look at in the evening.
From £2,100 ex-VAT →Blinds & shading
Motorised blinds, curtains and external shading across the East Midlands. Wired where it matters, integrated with lighting and heating, and automated on sun position rather than a clock.
From £1,850 ex-VAT →Multiroom audio
Whole-house audio across the East Midlands. Architectural ceiling and in-wall speakers, proper amplification in a cupboard, and music that follows you room to room without a single visible box.
From £2,600 ex-VAT →Smart lighting
Whole-house lighting control across the East Midlands. Proper dimming, RGBW colour, scenes that suit how the room is used, and daylight tracking — wired in, not plugged in.
From £3,200 ex-VAT →Heating & climate
Per-room temperature control across the East Midlands. Zoned radiators and underfloor heating, presence-based setbacks and weather compensation — so you stop heating empty rooms.
From £2,900 ex-VAT →Security & access
Keyless entry, video doorbells, CCTV and alarm integration running locally on one system. No per-camera cloud fees, no separate app for every device, and it keeps working when the broadband doesn't.

Loxone for Ilkeston homes
Lighting control and zoned heating are the usual starting point, and for commuting households the heating case is particularly strong — an empty house on weekdays is the clearest possible argument for presence-based setback rather than a single timer that heats the place whether anyone is in it or not.
Garage conversions are common here and make excellent cinema rooms. A garage is effectively a self-contained shell with good acoustic isolation from the house and no windows to black out, which removes two of the biggest obstacles to a good cinema. Insulation and heating need addressing as part of the conversion and we factor that into the design.
EV ownership is high across the corridor given the commuting patterns, which makes charge scheduling on a time-of-use tariff one of the quicker wins available. Moving charging into a cheap overnight window, and into surplus solar during the day where the car is home, produces a measurable saving without anyone changing what they do.
Ilkeston is around 35 minutes from our Mansfield Woodhouse workshop. Site visits across DE7 are free and typically same-week, with a fixed written quote inside five working days. Never sub-contracted, and no subscription on any part of the system.
Why Loxone, not a hub
Hive, Hue, Sonos and Ring each run on separate apps and separate cloud servers. Loxone runs everything locally on the Miniserver — if your broadband drops, the house keeps working.
