Lighting control

Integrate a smart lighting control system and transform your home’s atmosphere according to your needs. Lower the lights in your media room when you’re enjoying a movie, brighten them in the kitchen or dining area when needed and set them up to turn on gradually in the mornings. Schedule some lights to stay on while you’re out of the house to create the illusion of being home, or have them all turn on in the event of unexpected activity. Lighting control allows you to feel safe, comfortable and truly at home.

Media control

Having a smart audio video system allows you to access movies, shows and music at any moment. With one device, you can select a recorded movie, your favorite album, or watch live TV. Invite some friends over and put on the game or have a relaxing evening alone and play your favorite music. The best part is that you don’t have to keep track of multiple remotes or devices, you can control everything from a single iPad or smartphone.

Security

An efficient and reliable security system is essential to feeling comfortable in your home. Smart home security can incorporate your iPad or other devices to disarm and control the alarm system, set up a video intercom system and allow remote access to others even when you’re away. Video surveillance allows you to see who is at the door or replay footage at a later time if needed.

Integrated Systems

Sync all your devices and systems to work together. This integration allows you to preset your preferences so that all you have to do is select an option and watch your home transform. For example, set up how you want your house to feel and look when you arrive home: the lights turn on and dim, the thermostat adjusts to the temperature of your comfort, the shades close, and the security system is activated. You no longer need to worry about adjusting everything manually and individually; now you can have complete control with ease and simplicity.
