A <anchor>smart home</anchor> is a home set-up that is integrated with internet-connected devices that can be programmed and controlled remotely, either via an app or a smart device. These devices can then be used to automate and schedule certain tasks and actions, either individually or by working together. Smart homes are part of the ‘Internet of Things (IoT)’ and therefore when all connected and operating in tandem, can share relevant usage data to perform automated actions.

### Smart Technology & Automation For Your Home

Installing smart home technology can maximise the potential of your current systems and improve home safety

## It's time to upgrade to a smart home

Ready to make your home work that bit smarter? When you upgrade to a smart home, you’ll be making your life easier by interconnecting all your internal home systems, such as lighting, heating, alarms, CCTV, entertainment and intercoms.

Due to all your systems communicating with each other, you can set up customised automations that not only create a more efficient home, but also add a level of convenience to busy lives. A smart home works by each system connecting to an internet connection, most commonly via WIFI. This allows for all systems to be controlled from one central device, such as a smartphone, and therefore can be done so remotely, from anywhere in the world. Whether you are on holiday, at work or in your garden, with a smart home you can control the lighting, heating, sound system, answer the front door and more!

## We're smart home specialists, keeping all your systems connected

A smart home can majorly benefit your home security and maximise your security system’s potential. With all devices connected, such as your motion sensors, CCTV cameras and alarm system, you can put in place full home automation so that if your security system is triggered, you’ll be notified immediately. This is particularly beneficial when away from your home or even abroad. No longer will you have to rely on a neighbour or friend to inform you of an issue.

Connecting other smart home products, such as video doorbells and intercoms, is another way to improve home security and protect your family.
