Residential Control
Clear Sphere designs Crestron-based systems that unify AV, lighting, climate, and security controls into single intuitive interfaces. Our solutions enable smartphone and tablet integration, allowing remote home monitoring and operation. Systems combine elegant aesthetics with functionality through concealed speakers, automated curtains, and mood lighting programming.
Marine Automation
Serving superyachts globally, we integrate lighting, entertainment, communications, and climate control into touchscreen interfaces. Our systems offer secure satellite connectivity, preventive maintenance reporting, and crew management tools. Solutions cater to luxury expectations while addressing technical challenges through marine engineering expertise.
Cinema Systems
We create concealed cinema environments with disappearing projectors, hidden speakers, and media servers. Systems support multiple content sources and room configurations, integrating seamlessly with whole-home automation. Our designs prioritise acoustic quality while maintaining clean interior aesthetics through wall-mounted controls and bespoke speaker placement.
Lighting Control
Intelligent lighting systems allow scene-based control through keypads or touchscreens. Features include energy-saving automation, security-focused simulated occupancy, and daylight-responsive adjustments. We implement wireless solutions that eliminate clutter while maintaining compatibility with heating and security systems for comprehensive home management.
Crew Systems
Our crew systems centralise yacht operations through climate control, CCTV monitoring, and maintenance reporting. Crew can manage lighting, security, and environmental systems from dedicated interfaces. Solutions include voyage communications tools and networked diagnostics that simplify technical maintenance for engineers on board.
