SMART HOME SYSTEMS / HOME AUTOMATION
DO YOU WISH YOU COULD SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE BY DOING EVERYTHING FROM YOUR PHONE? CONTROL YOUR HOME WITH A SWIPE OF YOUR FINGER EVEN WHEN YOU ARE ON THE GO OR TRAVELLING ABROAD?
The future is here and we can integrate all your home and electrical systems to talk to each other and all of this can be controlled from an app on your phone.
Simplify the way you live in your own home by doing simple tasks at the swipe of a finger. With a home automation system, you can control your entire home from a single app on your phone, even when you are not at home.
With a smart home automation system, you can control your lights, blinds, alarm system, climate control, CCTV cameras & intercom, audio, visual, gate or garage, pool pump or heat pump, jacuzzi or swimming pool, or practically any electrical device, from virtually anywhere.
People often ask, what is the benefit of this?
Home Automation or Smart Home Systems not only enhance comfort at home but also saves on electricity as you can automate your pool pump or geyser to operate at certain times during the day or you could simply press a button on your phone that switches off all lights and heating at the same time.
With smart energy management, you can save up to 28% on heating costs.
