Home Control Systems

What is a Control System?

Pretty much everything these days are technology driven smart devices. With this ever increasing use of technology we find ourselves with countless applications to control different things around the home. An app for the heating, a controller for each TV, an app for the security alarm system, an app for the CCTV, more than one app for music and audio around the home; it's endless.

By bringing a smart control system into the home we can bring these all into one system meaning one app. The same user interface for all the devices in your home.

With all the devices linked into one system, not only does it redefine how you use the technology in your home during everyday life, you can expand the interaction beyond just the normal.

Without thinking about it, when we leave our house we go through the same routine. We go around and turn off the lights, we make sure the TV's are off etc and we set the alarm system. Then you forgot you hadn't turned off the landing light! What if we just programmed the system to do all these actions for you when you leave home just by the fact you set the alarm system?

What about using the system to increase your security at the home while away for extended periods? People are often worried about the home appearing empty and worry it may attract unsavoury characters to target their property and goods. With a control system you could programme a holiday mode. You set it with the touch of button and whilst you are away you have the peace of mind that your security system is set, the CCTV is actively monitoring your property and grounds for human or vehicle presence and the lighting enters a "mockuppancy" state. This is where we can programme the lights around the home to mimic someone being at home. On top of this we could even programme your blinds to open and close at set times and even turn the TV's on around the home to simulate occupancy.

You could use the system to increase parental controls around the home. The system could be programmed to ensure that the children's TV in their room can't be watched after a certain time, their Wi-Fi access automatically turned off at a certain time and the ability for you to ensure their lights are turned off from the comfort of your own bed.

You can incorporate smart lighting and whole home audio into the system. Set up a party scene so the audio plays in set rooms automatically, the lights all set to a pre-programmed scene of your choice, the garden lights turned on etc.

The possibilities are endless with a home control system.
