SMART HOME INSTALLATIONS - CHESHIRE

A big advantage of having a smart home operating system is being able to combine all of your entertainment devices into one system. This means you don’t need several different remote controls 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.

Acoustically transparent screens and ceiling speakers ensure that the period features or minimalist style of your chosen interior design are not compromised. We can advice you on the best audio visual installation to suit your personal requirements.

If you have a TV as part of your entertainment system, you can also integrate this with other devices in the home. For example, if you’re watching a film on your TV and someone rings the doorbell, your security system can utilise the doorbell camera. The image will automatically appear on the screen so you can see who is at the door. All your smart home security, cameras, lights, etc. can be controlled from your device, giving you complete control of your home from one central point.

A home entertainment system allows you to enjoy your favourite music or your favourite film in every corner of the home with multi-roo 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 an own 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 home cinema room for gaming or listen to music. The options are endless, and a home cinema room can be tailored to your specific requirements with bespoke seating, lighting and decoration making it a very personal space in your home.

Smart homes allow for greater control over lighting, meaning that you can programme specific lighting for different requirements or times of the day. Lighting 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 this control, it means 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 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 at different times of the day, opening your curtains at sunrise and closing them at the end of the day.

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. Remotely controlled through the wifi. On average, smart homes can save up to 30% on their energy costs when used correctly.

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 around or within 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 or carbon monoxide detectors. Remote monitoring means that you can have complete peace of mind while away from the property.

A smart home can integrate all of your smart devices into one system giving you complete control. This might include your TV, sound system, lights, security cameras, video doorbells thermostat and more. The advantage of this is that you can control systems from one central location, whether that’s a remote control, your smartphone or a voice-activated assistant such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
