SMART HOME INSTALLATIONS LONDON

A big advantage of having a smart home is being able to combine all of your entertainment devices into one system. This means you don’t need several different apps for different devices, as you can operate everything from one central point. You can also create whole-house audio systems, so you can listen to music in every room, or even outdoors.

A home entertainment system allows you to enjoy your favourite music or your favourite film in every corner of the home with multi-room audio and visual equipment. Through automation and expert design, screens and speakers can be concealed within the walls or ceiling and appear if needed, giving your living space a sleeker, more modern appearance.

Another popular feature of smart homes is a home cinema room. This can be installed in any room and used to watch TV, films or sport on a big screen with surround sound. You can also use a cinema room for gaming or listening to music. The options are endless, and a cinema room can be tailored to your specific requirements with bespoke seating, and decoration making it a very personal space in your home.

A smart home can integrate all of your smart devices into one system giving you access to all the devices in your own home. This might include your TV, sound system, lights, security cameras, thermostat and more. The advantage of this is that it can simplify your life allowing you to manage everything from one central location, whether that’s a tablet, keypad, smartphone or a voice-activated assistant.

Smart home lighting meaning that you can programme specific lights for different requirements or times of the day. It can even be programmed to activate or deactivate depending on whether anyone is at home, in a specific room or within a certain radius.

Creating Lighting Scenes
Smart lighting scenes can be designed to set mood lighting for entertaining or relaxing, and can even be used to make your home look occupied when you’re away on holiday. Smart lighting is also more energy efficient than traditional lighting, as it only uses the power that is needed.

With internet access you can have the lights switched on when you’re half a mile away from home, ready for you to arrive. If you’re away from your London home for an extended period of time, you can still have control over your lights (as well as all other aspects of the smart home).

Lighting sequences aren’t all about artificial lighting either. If you are fortunate enough to get a lot of natural light in your home, you can use smart home automation technology to automatically close blinds to adjust how much you let in.

Smart technology enhances your home’s security capabilities. You can instantly receive notifications on your mobile when a device is triggered, such as CCTV or movement sensors. You’re able to connect CCTV cameras to your audiovisual system the moment you receive that notification and view what is happening in and around the home. With the right equipment, you can even engage in conversation with people at the door or on the grounds of your property.

Smart home security can also be used to monitor other aspects of the home, such as flood sensors in the basement or carbon monoxide detectors. Remote monitoring means that you can have complete peace of mind while away from the property.

Home automation systems allow you greater cooling and heating control, saving you energy in the process. If programmed, the heating or cooling system in your home can switch off the moment you leave, meaning you use only the energy you need.

A smart thermostat can also be set to turn on the heating or cooling before you arrive home, so it’s comfortable for you as soon as you step through the front door or switch off the heating in your home office at the end of the working day. On average, smart homes can save up to 30% on their energy costs when used correctly.
