Automation & Smart Systems
Intelligent buildings for a smarter future.
Meridian's technology division integrates cutting-edge automation, security, and energy management systems into buildings of all types. Whether you are commissioning a smart home, a complex BMS for a commercial tower, or a precision laboratory control environment, we design, install, and commission systems that improve efficiency, comfort, and safety.
Smart Home Systems
We design and install complete smart home ecosystems for residential clients across the UK, from modest retrofit installations to fully integrated new-build smart homes. Our systems use KNX, Control4, Lutron, and Crestron platforms to provide intuitive control of lighting, heating, blinds, security, and AV from a single app or voice interface.
- ✔KNX, Control4, Lutron & Crestron platforms
- ✔Smart lighting scenes & automated blinds
- ✔Integrated heating & underfloor control
- ✔Voice control (Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit)
- ✔Remote monitoring & app-based control
Commercial Building Automation
Our building management system (BMS) engineers design and commission Trend, Siemens Desigo, Johnson Controls Metasys, and Schneider EcoStruxure platforms for offices, hospitals, universities, and retail environments. Systems are integrated via open protocols (BACnet, Modbus, MQTT) and connected to central SCADA or cloud dashboards.
