What is a smart home?
Smart homes remove the need for individual handsets and apps for individual products and services. Everything is connected to a single, centralised control system which function as the building's brain. You still have a choice of control methods, but they operate everything!

A smarter shading solution
A Smart home control system manages all your motorised shading devices alongside your AV, lighting, and heating, creating a harmonious environment. Did you know that Smart Shading:
- Creates a comfortable home by automatically adjusting the position of the blinds and curtains.
- Allows you to create scenes and moods throughout your day to suit your lifestyle.
- Increases energy efficiency by preventing overheating or reducing heat loss through automatic positioning.
- Improves security through automated operation, even when you’re away from the building.
