Legrand MyHome Smart Home & Automation
Certified KNX installers for Mayfair, Kensington & Tower Bridge
The Legrand MyHome Experience: Elegant Automation for London's Finest Homes
Legrand MyHome is a sophisticated KNX-based home automation platform designed for properties where architectural integrity and intelligent living must coexist in perfect balance. As one of the world's largest electrical infrastructure manufacturers, Legrand brings unparalleled engineering depth to residential automation — combining the open, future-proof KNX standard with beautifully designed interfaces that feel like natural extensions of your interior rather than technological intrusions.
For homeowners in Mayfair, where every material choice is scrutinised by leading interior designers, the Arteor keypad range is transformative. Available in finishes from polished aluminium and brushed titanium to hand-stitched leather and natural wood, Arteor keypads can be specified to match door hardware, kitchen cabinetry and furniture upholstery. The MyHome_Screen 10-inch touchscreen provides a centralised control hub that displays custom room layouts, scene controls and climate management in an interface designed to complement contemporary and classical interiors alike.
In Kensington's Victorian and Edwardian properties, where thick walls, ornate plasterwork and listed building restrictions create unique installation challenges, Legrand MyHome excels. The KNX standard supports powerline communication in some configurations, allowing automation signals to travel over existing electrical wiring where running new cables would be impractical or prohibited. Where wireless is the only option, KNX RF devices communicate seamlessly with the wired bus through MyHome_Up gateways, delivering complete system functionality without compromising period features.
The converted warehouses and contemporary developments of Tower Bridge and Shad Thames demand robust, enterprise-grade automation that can handle dense RF environments and extensive glazing. Legrand MyHome's KNX architecture is inherently reliable: a dedicated two-wire bus with deterministic communication that does not depend on WiFi or cloud connectivity to function. This means your lighting, shading and climate systems continue to operate perfectly even during internet outages — a critical consideration for properties where downtime is unacceptable.
Vertex AV is a certified Legrand MyHome installer with direct access to Legrand's engineering team, custom programming resources and the full product catalogue. This partnership means we can specify, procure and install the complete MyHome range including products and finishes that are not available through general electrical wholesalers. We design MyHome systems for clients who value the combination of open-standard flexibility and refined design execution, and we install them with the same meticulous attention to detail that defines every Vertex AV project.
Every Legrand MyHome installation we complete includes a comprehensive design consultation, detailed KNX technical specification, professional bus wiring and device mounting, custom programming of scenes and schedules, comprehensive handover training and 12 months of warranty support. We also offer maintenance contracts that include annual system health checks, firmware updates via MyHome_Up and priority response. Our goal is not merely to install an automation system, but to create an intelligent environment that adapts to your lifestyle, protects your interiors and simplifies every interaction with your home.
The KNX ecosystem that underpins MyHome is the most widely adopted building automation standard in the world, with over 500 manufacturers producing compatible devices. This means your Legrand MyHome system can grow and evolve over time, incorporating new technologies and brands without replacing the core infrastructure. For discerning homeowners who view their property as a long-term investment, this future-proofing is a genuine differentiator.

Legrand MyHome FAQs
What is Legrand MyHome and how does it differ from other smart home platforms?
Legrand MyHome is a comprehensive KNX-based home automation platform from Legrand, one of the world's largest electrical infrastructure companies. Unlike Control4, which uses a proprietary ecosystem, MyHome is built on the open KNX standard — the global benchmark for building automation — giving you unparalleled interoperability, flexibility and future-proofing. Compared with Crestron, MyHome delivers comparable automation capability at a more accessible price point for typical luxury residential projects, while still supporting the elegant interfaces and precise control that discerning clients expect. The MyHome_Screen 10" touchscreen and Arteor keypad range offer beautiful, customisable control surfaces that integrate seamlessly with lighting, shading, climate, security and audio. Vertex AV is a certified Legrand MyHome installer with direct access to engineering support, custom programming tools and the full Legrand product catalogue.
Which Legrand MyHome products do you install?
We install the complete Legrand MyHome product range including the MyHome_Screen 10" touchscreen, MyHome_Up gateway for remote access, Arteor and Living Now keypad ranges, and the full suite of KNX actuators, sensors and interfaces. The MyHome_Screen is the flagship interface: a 10-inch capacitive touchscreen with customisable room layouts, scene buttons, climate controls and security views, all tailored by our programmers to match your interior palette. Arteor keypads are available in a vast range of finishes including white, aluminium, titanium, leather and wood, with one-gang through six-gang configurations and custom engraving. Behind the wall, KNX bus-powered actuators handle lighting, shutter and blind control, while MyHome_Up provides secure cloud connectivity for remote access, firmware updates and energy monitoring.
Can Legrand MyHome control my motorised blinds and curtains?
Yes, Legrand MyHome integrates natively with motorised shading through KNX-compatible interfaces. We connect MyHome to Lutron, Somfy, Silent Gliss and Hunter Douglas systems, enabling unified scenes where lighting, shading and climate respond together. A Morning scene can gradually raise bedroom blinds while increasing bathroom lights to 50%, or an Away scene can lower all shades, switch off lighting and set the security system with a single touch. For properties in Kensington and Mayfair with period windows or conservation restrictions, we use wireless KNX interfaces and battery-powered Somfy motors that communicate directly with the MyHome bus, delivering full automation without structural alterations.
How much does a Legrand MyHome system cost in London?
Legrand MyHome system costs depend on property size, the number of KNX devices and the level of integration required. A single-room MyHome lighting and keypad system typically starts from £3,500. A whole-home package for a four-bedroom townhouse in Mayfair or Kensington, including MyHome_Screen touch control, Arteor keypads throughout, motorised shading integration, multi-room audio and climate management, generally ranges from £30,000 to £70,000. Large estates or developments near Tower Bridge with extensive KNX networks, custom finishes and enterprise-grade infrastructure can exceed £100,000. We provide itemised quotations after a free site survey, with no hidden costs and phased installation options available.
Do you install Legrand MyHome in period and listed properties?
Absolutely. A significant portion of our work is in period and listed buildings across Mayfair, Kensington and Belgravia where preserving original features is paramount. Legrand MyHome is particularly well suited to these properties because KNX can operate over existing powerline wiring in some configurations, allowing automation signals to travel over existing electrical wiring where running new cables would be impractical or prohibited. Where wireless is required, we use KNX RF devices and MyHome_Up bridging to deliver full automation without compromising period features. We work closely with conservation officers to ensure all installations meet listed building requirements, using surface wiring conduits in sympathetic finishes and motorised shading solutions that mount within existing window reveals.
What areas of London do your Legrand MyHome installers cover?
We install Legrand MyHome smart home, lighting and automation systems throughout central and greater London. In Mayfair we regularly work on penthouses in Hanover Square, townhouses on Grosvenor Street and apartments in Shepherd Market. In Kensington we cover Victorian villas in Kensington Court, Edwardian mansion flats in Earls Court and new developments on Kensington High Street. In Tower Bridge we serve luxury apartments in One Tower Bridge, Shad Thames warehouses converted to residential and new-build developments along the South Bank. We also cover Chelsea, Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Notting Hill, Hampstead, Canary Wharf and the Square Mile. Beyond London we serve Surrey, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire.
Does Legrand MyHome support voice control and mobile app operation?
Yes. The MyHome_Up app for iOS and Android provides full remote control of lighting, shading, climate, security and audio from anywhere in the world. The interface is customised by our programmers to show only the rooms and functions relevant to each user, with custom scenes, schedules and energy monitoring dashboards. Voice control is available through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant integration via the MyHome_Up gateway, allowing commands such as "Alexa, set living room to relax" or "Hey Google, goodnight" to trigger complex multi-system scenes. We configure these integrations during commissioning and provide training so every family member can use the system confidently.
