What is Smart Home Control
and how does it work?
Smart home control provides the ultimate in convenience and flexibility, bringing together your smart lighting control and design, heating & cooling, automated blinds or curtains, multi-room audio systems, home cinema, smart gadgets and home security gate/door entrance devices into a single, simple-to-use interface to control it all.
With Connected Abodes, well-designed home control systems unify all technologies so they work together and deliver functionality and performance seamlessly. By using your iPad and iPhone, custom in-wall touchscreen devices or keypads, you can manage all aspects of your home from a central point in the house, from work or from anywhere in the world.
Watch our video above which shows how smart home automation works and what it can do for you. Alternatively, make an appointment with Karen at our showroom and experience it live and in action.
– Saves energy
One of the greatest benefits of smart home control is the energy-saving capabilities it brings with it, saving you money as well as the planet. As our smart home technologies become more aware of the occupants, they can learn from your lifestyle and automatically adjust your energy consumption through heating lighting and automatic blinds or curtains. Room occupancy sensors will turn your lights on when you enter a room, at the correct lighting levels for the time of day, and off when you exit. When you leave the house your smart home system will switch off all your lights and heating. A smart home system, equipped with a smart thermostat and a lighting control system from Lutron can save up to 30% on your annual electricity bill.
With the latest in technology, modern fabrics for smart blinds and curtains can diffuse light and absorb or deflect heat, allowing you to quickly adjust them to keep the warmth in during the winter and in the summer manage heat gain and protect your home from solar damage. With automated blinds and curtains, you can either programme your blinds or curtains or use them in combination with a heat sensor so that they automatically shut when the solar glare or heat is high.
– Improves health benefits with correct lighting
Adjusting the brightness and the colour of light, we can mimic natural light more effectively, promoting health and well-being. Smart automated lighting systems enable you to manage the lux levels, so it changes in response to the shifting light outside, hence you always have the perfect light level, great for those four seasons in one day!
Lighting control connects lighting to suit the task and time of year, preventing eye strain and promoting well-being. Task lighting enables the correct differing levels of light to create a ‘scene’ e.g. ‘cooking scene’ with bright lights over the kitchen worktops and cooker, and dimmed lights in the living area to give a sense of warmth and space.
– Smart multi-room audio / visual gives everyone choice
Smart multi-room systems provide entertainment for every room in your home, enabling flawless streaming of audio and visuals from a central hub. Now everyone has a choice of what to watch or who to listen to. Intelligent multi-room systems in each room can be controlled independently so you can relax to music in the bath whilst your partner watches a film in the cinema and the children enjoy their favourite TV series in the snug. Our secure and advanced networking ensures no loss of audio or visual quality, and your home control system enables remote access to your music and film library.

You can even automate advanced presence simulation to mimic the lighting patterns used when you’re there, giving the impression that someone is home.
