What is smart home automation?
Smart home automation connects all your technology into a single, easy-to-use system—giving you control via your smartphone, tablet, or touchscreen devices placed throughout your property. With one interface, you can manage lighting, audio, heating, security, and more. Whether for a home or a business, home automation systems adapt to your lifestyle and work habits. You can activate pre-set scenes, schedule routines, and enjoy energy-saving automation tailored to your lifestyle.
The centralised control hub acts as the brain of your property, eliminating the need for multiple remotes or apps and delivering seamless, smart control across every system. Is automation right for you? Find out why you should automate your home and discover the multiple benefits.

- Smart lighting control, blinds, curtains, and Velux windows

Setting the scene:
With smart home automation, you can create pre-programmed scenes that instantly adjust your lighting, audio, heating, and security systems. Whether you’re leaving for work, cooking dinner, or relaxing with a film, your home adapts at the touch of a button, saving you time and effort throughout the day.
You can set up to 24 personalised scenes tailored around your daily routine. Choose options like “Good Morning”, “Arriving Home”, or “Bedtime” to match your lifestyle. You can even activate an ‘away from home’ mode, which mimics your usual activity to boost security while you’re away on holiday.
Every scene is configured with your preferences in mind during your smart home installation, ensuring the system fits your property perfectly.
