What is a smart home?
A smart home is a home that utilises IoT ( Internet Of Things ) technology to connect the electrical devices/appliances to a central control system. This includes lighting, heating, security, appliances and entertainment
Benefits of a smart home
Control – Take control of all your appliances and devices from one central hub. A smartphone app will allow you to control and monitor all connected devices
Convenience – Want a coffee waiting for you first thing? Have your heating turn on when you are 30 minutes from home? These can easily be achieved with a smart home
Security – View a live feed of who’s at your door when you’re not home. Switch your lights on remotely when you’re on holidays to make it seem you are at home. Get text alerts when a door or window is opened and you’re not home
Energy saving – Turns lights off automatically as you leave a room. Precise control of your heating.
