Working side by side, you’ll be able to operate the lighting, heating, blinds, entertainment system, security features and more. Have fun whilst getting a feel for the capabilities of a smart home and imagining yourself owning one. Once done, you’ll have tested both systems to determine which is the right one for you.

Discover a new cinematic experience through the power of smart home cinema rooms.
