What is an Automated Home?
An automated home is more than a bunch of Smart Devices living together under one roof. Its about those devices actually being able to interact and Talk to each other; to work together and collectively provide you, the homeowner, with an unprecedented level of sophistication, simplicity and comfort.
Coming home
Imagine coming home from vacation and as usual, you disarm your security system before the alarm goes off. But this time, your house knows youre home; the blinds raise, your thermostat leaves Away mode to bring the house to your desired evening temperature, the lights in the kitchen and hallway gently brighten to 75%. As you enter the room on your left, the security sensor notices your movement and tells the lighting system to turn on the lights for you until you leave the room again. The fireplace in the great room roars to life since it knows you prefer it on during the winter months. Your favorite radio station starts playing from your overhead speakers to greet you as you move around to put your luggage aside. At 6:00 the music fades away and the news appear on the main TV.
Wake up with the daylight
Your home can start the day with you. As the sun comes up, your blinds open to let the daylight in, the lights gently brighten and the house warms up to your morning temperature. Your favourite radio station can fade in while you get ready, and if it is the weekend, everything politely happens a little later.
Security that reacts
Always know what is going on at home. Your security system can talk to your other systems too: if an intruder is detected, your outdoor lights can flash and your music system can act as an alarm, and motion sensors can turn lights on for you as you move through the house at night. You can also get email or text notifications straight to your phone, and arm or disarm your system from anywhere in the world.
Goodnight
When its time for bed, simply open your phone and tap Goodnight. Your home will turn itself off: Every light, every TV, speaker and fireplace. The blinds will lower, the security system will arm and the furnace will change to your night time settings.
