After a power cut
Some scenes or devices do not come back as expected.
Ask for the power-return behaviour to be checked.

Smart Home Support and Maintenance in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain
Check visits, programming changes, updates and fault finding for lighting, shading, audio-video and control systems in villas and apartments.
Free Site Survey Since 2018 Abu Dhabi & Al Ain
In short: a smart home system needs the same care as any other building system: a yearly check, updates, changes when you add rooms or scenes, and a clear person to call when something stops working. Emirtech supports the systems it installs, and we will survey a system installed by someone else and tell you honestly what we can and cannot support. The scope and terms are written in a quotation or agreement, not promised verbally.
What smart home support can cover
| Item | What it covers | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Check visit | Devices, keypads, scenes, controllers, panels and the network are tested room by room. | A short written note of what was checked and anything that needs attention. |
| Programming changes | New scenes, schedules, rooms or devices added to the existing system. | Scoped in writing before the work, so you know what changes. |
| Updates | Controller software, firmware and app updates where the platform allows them. | Done at a planned time and tested afterwards. |
| Fault finding and repair | Devices that stop responding, scenes that misfire, or a system that is slow. | A survey of the fault first, then a clear repair or replacement proposal. |
| Network and Wi-Fi health | Coverage, router and switch settings that smart devices depend on. | Weak areas are reported and options are explained. |
| Backup of programming | A copy of the system programming kept safe. | Agreed at handover or at the next visit, so a replacement controller can be restored. |
| Power and internet behaviour | How the system behaves after a power cut or when the internet is down. | Tested and written down, including what keeps working locally. |
| User guidance | Showing new occupants or family members how scenes, keypads and the app work. | Short and practical, in the room where the controls are. |
When to book a visit
New tenants or owners
Handover of accounts, scenes and the app to a new household.
Ask for a short walk-through.
Adding a room or extension
New lighting, shading or audio zones on the existing system.
Ask what can be added without redoing existing work.
A slow or unreliable app
Delays, offline devices or a system that needs restarting.
Ask for the network to be checked first.
Before summer or a long absence
A check before the house is closed up or the AC load rises.
Ask for a check of climate scenes and remote access.
Moving to another company
A new provider needs the programming and device list.
Ask what handover documents exist.
Which kind of support fits your home
The right level depends on how much the home depends on the system.
Call-out when needed
Suits a small system or a home with few changes. We survey the fault and propose a fix.
A yearly check
Suits most villas: one planned visit a year to test, update and tidy the programming.
A maintenance agreement
Suits large villas, estates and rented properties where several people use the system. Scope and terms are written down.
Emirtech is an independent integrator in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, ADMCC-approved for security systems. We install and programme Control4 working with a third-party authorised dealer, so some Control4 software or licence matters go through that dealer. We hold no manufacturer-level credential. There is no Al Ain office, so Al Ain visits are by appointment.
Have this ready when you call
- The address, the type of property and who installed the system.
- The platform or brand, if you know it (for example Control4, KNX, Lutron or another).
- What stopped working, when, and whether it happened after a power cut or an update.
- Photos of the controller or panel, if you can take them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you support smart home systems that another company installed?
We can survey the system and tell you honestly what we can and cannot support. Access to the programming, the admin account and, for some platforms, the original dealer decides what is possible, so we confirm after the survey rather than promise in advance.
Do you support Control4 systems?
We install and programme Control4 working with a third-party authorised dealer, so some software and licence matters go through that dealer. Emirtech holds no manufacturer-level credential.
What should I ask for in a maintenance agreement?
A written list of what is covered, how often visits happen, how to report a fault, what is not covered, how the warranty applies and how either side can end it. Our guide on <a href="how-to-choose-smart-home-company-abu-dhabi.html">how to choose a smart home company</a> lists the questions.
How often should a smart home system be checked?
Most villas benefit from one planned check a year, with extra visits after a power cut, a rebuild or the arrival of new occupants.
What does your warranty cover?
Emirtech's own warranty is 3 years on European-brand and Control4 products and 1 year on Chinese-brand products, with terms in the quotation. It is Emirtech's warranty, not the manufacturer's.
What happens if the internet or power goes down?
Local functions such as keypads and lighting scenes should keep working, and the behaviour after power returns is programmed and tested. We check and write this down during a visit.
Can you add rooms or devices to my existing system?
Often yes. We survey first, then quote the additions in writing, including what changes in the existing programming.
Do you cover Abu Dhabi and Al Ain?
Yes. We serve Abu Dhabi and Al Ain from our base in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. There is no Al Ain office, so Al Ain visits are arranged by appointment.
