The idea of a fully automated home has been around for a long time, but it’s only with the invention of Wi-Fi, touchscreens, and the internet has this age-old dream finally come to life.
One day in the not too distant future, fully automated homes will be the norm, but even today there are plenty of options available if you want to stay ahead of the curve.
We are specialists in home automation and have been transforming people’s homes for years.
Lighting, heating, video, music, and security can all be controlled with the touch of a button, from the sofa or the other side of the world, keeping your family warm, safe and entertained.
One simple system to control everything
You may have the biggest and best Hi-Fi system, along with a beautiful 60-inch 4K Ultra TV, but how do you get them to talk to each other?
This is especially difficult if they’re different brands. Manufacturers tend to make the devices compatible with each other, and not the competition.
Add to that smartphones, lighting, security, modems… getting everything in the house to talk to everything else isn’t as easy as first thought.
Unless you use the Control4 System.
This is the best home automation system in the world, taking all your existing technology and combining it into one, easy to use interface, accessible from anywhere in the world.
Whether you are planning on automating a single room or you are designing your dream home from scratch, the Control4 system is custom built to fit around you and your lifestyle.
Control4 takes care of everything in your home, from dimming the lights to locking the door. It is the first and last solution to your automation problems.
Entertainment
When it comes to entertainment, the ability to control everything with the touch of a button is a game-changer.
Switching from normal TV, to Netflix, to YouTube, to the DVD player is all seamless and simple thanks to the control pad. Add Alexa or Google Home into the mix and it’s all voice-activated!
And then there’s the home cinema option…
Imagine watching the latest 4K movies on a projector which comes out of the ceiling, with fully immersive surround-sound.
Movie nights become something special with a fully automated home entertainment system.
Music to your ears
For music lovers, home automation will change your life.
With Spotify, YouTube Music, or Amazon Prime, you can stream all your favourite bands, albums and songs anywhere in the home.
The best part is, different rooms can play different music, so while mum rocks out in the kitchen, the kids can listen to whatever teenage angst is common these days in their own bedrooms.
With a fully integrated home system, music never sounded so good.
Let there be light
One of the most impressive aspects of a fully automated home system is the smart lighting.
Smart lighting takes control of your home’s lights, either using pre-set times or light monitoring sensors.
This allows for wonderful things like your bedroom lights slowly coming on in the morning, gradually waking you, or recognising when the sun goes down and turning themselves on.
Smart lighting can save money on energy bills by only being used when necessary, like when someone enters the room.
With an automated home system you never have to worry about leaving the lights on again – it’s all done for you!
And as well as the usual security lights, you can even programme the system to make it look like someone’s home when the house is empty.
Protect your family
Smart homes also come with the latest security software and gadgets.
High-definition cameras monitor anywhere in your home you need them to, especially the front door.
Stranger knocking late at night? See who it is first and even talk to them through your phone! Perfect for vulnerable people home alone or kids after school.
If you do leave the house and suddenly remember you forgot to lock up, there’s no need to return. A fully automated home system can also control your locks, including window, garage doors and even pool covers.
Smart locks can also be programmed to only let certain people in, so everyone in the family can have their own unique code.
You can even be notified when certain codes are used, allowing you to see when and which kids get home, giving you peace of mind that no one is late or not home when they should be.
A fully automated home system will change your life
From security to movies, mood lighting to internet searches, a home automation system can make your life so much easier.
Control the lights, keep your home warm, answer the door… even when you’re on the other side of the world!
We only use the best technology when it comes to our work, which is why we use the Control4 System.
A simple interface belies the incredibly complex software behind it, allowing all your devices to work together seamlessly.
We are a “Platinum Dealer” for Control4 – one of only three accredited businesses to have this status out of 95 dealers in New Zealand.
Bring your home under control with the touch of a button – once you have it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
