SMART HOME SYSTEMS

Entertainment & AV

Music, television, and cinema should feel effortless—not fragmented across remotes, apps, and unreliable connections.

Entertainment systems—engineered to work as one

In many homes, entertainment grows organically: a soundbar here, a streaming box there, speakers added over time. The result is often inconsistent performance, confusing control, and systems that don’t scale.

AST takes a different approach. We design entertainment and AV as a complete system—engineered on a stable network foundation, integrated into a unified control platform, and tailored to how you actually use your home.

Whether it's background music throughout the house, reliable TV distribution, or a dedicated home cinema, everything is designed to work together.

Why integrated entertainment matters

When audio and video systems are treated as isolated devices, reliability suffers. Integrated AV solves this by aligning hardware, network capacity, control logic, and user experience into a single, coherent system.

With an engineered approach, entertainment becomes:

Consistent across rooms

Simple to control

Scalable over time

Reliable under daily use

Future-ready architecture

Entertainment systems we commonly integrate

AST works with a wide range of premium, proven audio-visual platforms and components. Selection is always driven by system requirements—not brand lock-in.

All components are selected to operate reliably within a unified automation environment, supported by a properly engineered network foundation.

Zoned audio & video—done properly

True multi-room entertainment isn't just about playing sound in different spaces. It's about precise control, reliable synchronisation, and predictable performance—every time.

AST designs zones based on how each space is used, ensuring the right balance between shared experiences and individual control. From open-plan living areas to private rooms and outdoor zones, each area behaves exactly as expected.

Atmospheres that adapt to how you live

Entertainment should adapt to moments—not demand attention.

AST integrates audio and video into scenes and automations that align with your routines. Music can follow you through the house, TVs can respond to time of day, and cinema modes can coordinate sound, lighting, and blinds automatically.

The system works quietly in the background—ready when you need it, invisible when you don't.

Designed for performance, not guesswork

AST avoids consumer shortcuts and proprietary limitations. Every entertainment system is engineered with the same discipline applied across all AST systems.

This ensures your entertainment systems perform reliably—today and years from now.

No finger-pointing. No guesswork. Just a system that works.
