Blinds, Heating & Whole-Home Automation

Shading

Motorised blinds and curtains do more than look impressive. Used well they manage heat and glare: closing automatically as the sun comes round in summer to keep rooms cool, opening on winter mornings to gather free solar heat, and closing at dusk to hold warmth in. They also add security — a house that opens and closes its blinds looks occupied.

Heating and climate

Room-by-room control means you heat the rooms you're in, on schedules that match how you actually live. Combined with presence detection and window contacts, the system stops heating a room whose window is open, and stops heating rooms nobody uses on weekday mornings. For most households this is where automation quietly pays for itself.

Scenes that tie it together

The value of an integrated system is the moments where everything cooperates:

• Leaving — lights off, heating setback, blinds set, alarm armed, from one button
• Evening — lighting drops to a warm scene, blinds close, music comes on
• Night — the house goes dark, a low path light covers the landing, perimeter security sets
• Away — occupancy simulation replays a realistic pattern of lighting and blind movement

Audio-visual

Multi-room audio and discreet television installation integrated into the same control, so a scene can dim the lights, close the blinds and start the film together.

Built to last

We keep critical functions working locally rather than depending on a cloud service. If your internet drops, your lights, heating and blinds still work — you simply lose remote access until it returns. Systems are documented and handed over so they can be serviced and extended later.
