How to Make Your Home Smart
Smart homes are becoming more and more common with people who have minimal interest in technology and gadgets getting involved and realising how much easier life can be simply by controlling parts of your house from one central location.
A smart home is, in very basic terms, a home where various aspects of its contents can be controlled remotely. Things like lighting, heating, speakers, doorbells, intercoms, and more all form part of smart homes.
As technology continues to advance, smart homes are becoming more and more convenient and people are now able to control what is going on at home even if they are on the other side of the world!
Make Your Home a Smart Home
At Connect Automation, we have a range of systems that can turn your home into a smart home.
Control 4
Control4 can not only make your home more comfortable for you but it can actually make it safer and more energy-efficient too. No matter how big or small your house is, no matter how old it is, and no matter its layout, Control4 can be installed in your home allowing you to turn on lights, close blinds, and even lock doors remotely from your mobile phone.
What makes Control4 so impressive is that you can program the system so your smart devices all work together to get the most benefit from each one. For example, if you want your coffee machine to switch on and start preparing your coffee when your alarm goes off, Control4 can do that for you. If you want your heating to switch on as soon as your door unlocks, Control4 can do that for you too.
The NEEO remote that controls the entire system allows you to create the perfect environment for you in any room of the house from one central location. This touch screen remote gives you complete control over your entire house. While you might not be able to take this everywhere with you, Control4 allows you to control things from your mobile phone too so no matter where you are, your home is under your complete control.
The Loxone system is something comparable to the ones you see in science fiction films. From the central control unit, you can control any of the attached smart devices. Considering that the Loxone system is compatible with over 9000 devices including security cameras, home cinemas, audio systems, thermostats, and games consoles, you can have control over every aspect of your home from one central location.
If you are not at home though, you won’t have access to your Loxone control unit. That’s not an issue though as you can use the app to keep things exactly as you want them regardless of how far from home you might be.
If you want full control of your home entertainment system from anywhere in the world, the RTI Control System could be exactly what you need.
Not only can you control lighting and music from the control unit, but you can also keep an eye on security cameras, set heating temperatures, and other extremely useful smart home functions.
An RTI Control System also helps keep your carbon footprint as small as possible. It is an intuitive system which can reduce the temperature of your house once you leave or even turn off devices that aren’t being used. These seemingly small actions can go a long way in making your home as energy-efficient as possible.
