What are the benefits of a smart home?

Convenience

Choose a streamlined way of living and say goodbye to multiple remote controls. With a smart home, you can easily control numerous items from your smartphone or tablet.

Automate your home by linking home appliances to a single system. Enjoy your coffee in bed while simultaneously raising the blinds around the house or selecting a movie for the kids downstairs.

For ultimate convenience, combine elements to create ‘Moments for different occasions. Impress your guests with an ‘entertaining moment’ that triggers smart lighting to illuminate the garden, dims the dining room downlights and starts your favourite playlist; all with a click or voice command from an Amazon echo or other smart voice device.

Security

Home security that provides peace of mind 24/7 is a given with home control systems. It offers protection for your house and family while you’re at home or away, and is ideal for keeping an eye on the things that are most important to you.

Home automation security can range from sensor lights to deter intruders, through to linking your smart doorbell, gate cameras, lighting, smoke alarms and locks to one easy to use app. Add smart glass for instant privacy from the street or from neighbours at the push of a button.  

You can monitor your property remotely (handy if you need to check that doors and windows are locked, or see who’s at the door) and rest easy in the knowledge that everything’s secure when you’re at home.

Comfort

Creating a comfortable home is simpler with home automation technology. Be as warm or cool as you like with a swipe of a touch screen. Make life easier with smart lighting that automatically lights the way.

Adjust your house temperature simply, by linking heaters, air conditioning, blinds and even gas fireplaces to your smart home system. Activate them from your smart device, whether at home or in the office, or have them trigger automatically.

Make it easier and safer to move about your house with sensor lighting that activates in hallways, on staircases or outside areas.  

Rest easy knowing that your home is future proofed for easy and simple device connectivity.

Energy efficiency

Save energy and money (and help the planet) with a smart home that runs appliances only when they’re needed, and tracks your energy usage.

LED downlights, timers, dimmers and motion sensor lights are a great starting point for reducing energy consumption.

You could also have a bathroom that turns heated towel rails, fans and mirror demisters on and off for you at pre-set times, or a house that automatically lowers all the blinds in the early evening to keep the warmth in. With a smart home, you can see what’s been left on, and turn appliances off remotely too.

How to start planning your smart home

There are many ways to turn your home into a smart home. You could start small with an inexpensive, easy to install stand-alone home automation system. Or you could be building a new house and want to integrate a more complex system.

Every home and situation are unique. Your smart home system expert will consider this to make the right recommendations and create a smart home that is functional and suitable to the way you like to live.

Motivation

To ensure your objectives are met, let your smart home expert know why you want a smart home. Is it for safety and security? Comfort and control?

 

What smart home options are available? 

It is highly likely your home might already be smart! Consider the motion sensor which activates the light in your pantry or walk-in wardrobe, or the timer on your outdoor lights or extractor fan. These are really simple and easy ways to automate your home.

Smart home technology enables you to take it a step further and control your home through an app on your smart phone as well as manually. Smart home technology can help with energy efficiency, peace of mind, comfort and control. Take a look at the different smart home options we offer.
