“Lights!”

Invest in smart lighting round your home, inside and out, and you’ll discover an array of benefits. Take these dimmable deck lights, for example, that can be controlled via an app on your smartphone. Set them on a timer and you’ll never run the risk of leaving them on all night again.

Smart outdoor lighting can also save you the time of manually switching on garden lights when the sun goes down. Simply pre-save a lighting scene and you will automatically illuminate your outdoor space at the perfect time.

Offer guests a safe and secure welcome. Deck lights set on a timer will ensure the front and back of your property is clearly illuminated and ready to welcome visitors, or deter unwanted ones.

“Camera!”

Do you want to know who’s knocking at your door, even if you’re miles away? Then fit a smart video doorbell and you’ll always be in the know when someone knocks. Thanks to smart technology, you can watch over your home and answer the door from your smartphone, tablet and PC.

Hear and speak to visitors with a two-way talk system, while a live view will ensure you can keep an eye on your property, both day and night, thanks to built-in night vision.

Never miss a delivery. Banish those frustrating ‘missed parcel’ notes by speaking to the delivery driver via the doorbell even when on the move. Instruct them on where to leave your parcel and you’ll never have to wait in for a delivery again.

Similarly to the video doorbell, video floodlights can also offer direct video streaming to your smart device, as well as illuminating your property with a motion sensor long-lasting LED floodlight.

Customise your detection zones so you can keep an eye on specific areas of your property, while a playback function allows you to review and share any videos at any time.

“Action!”

Let smart tech organise and sort your home. For example, the morning rush will be a breeze with automated switches that can be set to turn lights on (or off) and even boil your kettle. Plus, keep your mind at ease by knowing you can always turn switches on or off remotely via an app – just think, you’ll never worry if you’ve left your straighteners on again!

You can also benefit from a smart keyless door lock. No more keys to hide, get cut, or even remember every time you run out the house. With a smart door lock you can register up to 70 users, so friends, family and even trusted trades people can have access.

Use voice control to choose your favourite TV shows and music. Now you don’t even have to lift a finger to turn the telly or radio on. Simply choose a voice control smart speaker and you can go completely hands free at home.
