Smart Home

Technology has come by leaps and bounds throughout the years. From phones, tablets and computers to watches, fitness trackers and even cars, smart devices have completely transformed the way we live, work, exercise, and communicate with each other. These exciting and simply ground-breaking systems offer a speedier, smoother and more convenient way of operating that we benefit from in the fast-paced modern world. 

Many of us carry around AI and smart technology in our pockets or on our wrists, but what about within our homes? Whether you’re a lover of all things tech ready to kit out your pad with the latest appliances or are simply searching for easy ways to make home life more convenient, our range of smart home devices is designed to suit everyone, every lifestyle and every home.  

Before we talk you through the top-of-the-range tech we have to offer, let’s cover the basics first. What exactly do we mean by a smart home? Whilst this phrase does sound like something out of a spy movie, unfortunately, we haven’t reached the stage of talking furniture and robot butlers just yet.   

The term ‘smart’ originally sources from the acronym “Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology”. Smart devices are designed to connect, share, monitor and interact with both their user and other gadgets, whether that be simply sending a message, giving an update on the news or even switching on a light! 

As you can guess from the name, smart home devices utilise this technology within and around your home to accommodate your daily routine and leisure activities. We’ve got a wide selection of smart home gadgets and tech from ultra-intelligent speakers you can talk to, lighting, CCTV, alarms & doorbells that are controlled straight from an app on your phone.

Let There be Light! 

Since the invention of the lightbulb back in the 19th century, lighting has come an incredibly long way. An exciting and ever-changing evolution of technology has allowed us as homeowners to completely transform the way we illuminate our homes. Now it’s time to take a step further from the dimmer switch and embrace the brilliance of smart lighting.  

Smart light systems offer an easy, practical and customisable way of lighting a property through the use of lightbulbs, and spot and strip lights. And trust us, it really is easy. 

How Does it Work? 

Made to accommodate a smooth transition from traditional lighting solutions, smart light bulbs screw into the existing sockets. An internet-connected hub connects all your smart bulbs, offering control over your lighting from a centralized location. Some smart switches don’t even require a hub and simply utilise your Wifi network to transmit commands to every device.  

What Can I Do? 

Once set up, the benefits of smart lighting are instant. Through a handy app downloadable to smartphones and tablets, you can enjoy full control over your home’s lighting system, even when you aren’t home.

Turn a light on or off without having to move from the comfort of your cosy bed. Create pre-timed settings to switch your lights on/off as you leave or get home from work. Alter a room’s mood to suit a certain aesthetic or adjust dimming controls as the sun sets and rises. The possibilities really are endless. 

There was a time when talking to your radio or music speakers seemed like a completely futuristic prospect. An idea as crazy and distant as flying cars and hoverboards. Thankfully, with our exciting range of smart speakers, you don’t have to wait that long. When you’re cutting shapes on the dancefloor or cooking a new recipe, manually changing a song or turning up the volume can be a bit of a pain.  

Smart speakers are voice-activated. Through simple commands, you can communicate with very own virtual assistant, programmed not only to crank up your tunes mid-boogie but to help with a range of other everyday tasks too.  

Responding to your voice, your smart speakers can play music, offer the latest weather forecast, schedule in appointments, check the time and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 
You can even use them as part of your smart hub, integrating with our other smart lighting, surveillance and security products to create a system that works for you.
