Smart Home Lighting
Smart Home Lighting is about so much more than just being able to see what we’re doing. Lighting design, when done correctly, can make the world of difference in your home. It is one of the most important design elements for a room as it can completely change the look of a room and even influence our mood.
Smart Home Lighting introduces an array of options, including: intelligently automating the lighting so that it turns on or off for us – or giving us a full spectrum of colour lighting to create beautiful lighting scenes that we can use for different occasions. Smart Home Lighting can save energy, set the mood, enhance a space, put focus on a something in a room, or simply light our path.
Smart Home Lighting in a real smart home is also intelligent. It doesn’t just turn on or off for you. If someone walks into a room, your home will check the time of day and the amount of natural light in the room before deciding if it is necessary to bring the lights on for you. Not only that, but based on the time of day it will bring on a different combination of lighting fixtures to suit. So, if you’re walking into the kitchen at 6pm it knows you need bright lighting to prepare dinner, whereas if you walk in at 2am you likely only need dimmed lighting to find your way to the fridge for a midnight snack. We can plan and install a professional smart lighting solution that suits your requirements. Please get in touch so we can discuss your Smart Home Installation project.
Smart Home Heating
Your smart heating system can think and learn to optimise itself. It knows when it needs to turn on to start heating the room so that it reaches the right temperature at the right time. It measures how long it takes to reach the desired temperature and whether it needs to adjust the time it turns the heating on as the seasons change. Even if the weatherman has got it wrong, the rooms in your home will still be warm and comfortable.
Your home is like you. It knows what you like, and when. It automatically ensures the perfect temperature throughout your home, without constantly relying on your radiators. Your home thinks for you and recognises when it is better to harness the warmth of the sun by opening the blinds rather than turning on the heating. Your smart home knows exactly what the heating requirements are in your home. It knows how many residents are in, or if you’re on holiday. The system directly controls the source of heating in your home, and as such, it can accelerate the heating to reach the desired temperature.
Smart Home Security
The smart security system you can rely on… At night, when you are asleep, your Eureka Smart Home keeps watch, looking out for you and your family. Should an intruder be detected, it will immediately alert you with a phone call, turning the multiroom audio on at full volume, flashing the lights throughout the house, and opening the blinds so as to expose anyone inside your home that shouldn’t be there. Your home will also let you know if a potential fire or water leak is detected.
In your home, you can feel completely safe. It deters burglars for you, watches over the whole family, protects itself and preserves your privacy. The Smart Home offers a powerful security solution, with a variety of security and alarm functions. Your home thinks on its feet and offers fully automatic protection. At night, whilst you sleep, your home is on alert. In your absence, it automatically goes into security mode and watches carefully to protect against burglary, water leaks or adverse weather.
Like an invisible shield, a smart home protects your home from unwanted guests. It reliably detects intruders and reacts with highly conspicuous flashing lights and a loud siren sound to deter even the most determined of intruders. With presence simulation, you can go on holiday with peace of mind, since your home will be busy acting as if someone were home; the blinds raise and lower and lights switch on and off, following the same routine as always Should a thief gain access to your home, your home will inform you immediately via the app.
Smart Multimedia
Music can be relaxing, make us happy and reduce stress. Why not create moments of happiness in your Eureka Smart Home through music? Wake up to your favourite song in the morning, listen to relaxing music while in the bath after a long day at work and incorporate sounds for specific events like a doorbell chime when someone is at the door. The opportunities with multiroom audio are endless.
Life in a Smart Home sounds beautiful, too. Your music & multimedia devices are intelligently automated, so you can just sit back, relax and enjoy. Have your whole house or individual rooms welcome you as you walk in, playing your favourite playlist on entry. When you leave, the music will automatically turn off. You could have the multiroom audio in your home play at full volume should unauthorised entry be detected, in a bid to scare off any intruders. Have your home let you know when your guests have arrived with a door chime sound effect being played in specific rooms.
With multiroom audio, you can choose which rooms play the same music and have something completely different playing in others. Choose relaxing music in the lounge to unwind with a glass of wine and a good book in the evening, while the children listen to an audiobook in their bedroom. Choose from a wide variety of sources – from your personal music collection through to music services such as TuneIn, Google Play Music, Spotify, or simply stream audio straight from your smartphone with AirPlay.
Smart EV Charging
Electric vehicles, hybrids and other alternatively-fuelled vehicles (AFV’s) are becoming increasingly popular for the cost-conscious and environmentally-friendly consumer. In June 2018, there were almost four times as many AFV’s registered on UK roads than the same period four years earlier.
Whilst the percentage of electric vehicles on UK roads is still small, sales are growing and smart EV charging is quickly becoming an essential part of many UK smart homes. Our advanced EV charging technology offers a superior quick-charge, low-maintenance service and can be installed almost anywhere within your property boundaries.
Affordable smart home electric vehicle solutions along with ever-increasing public EV charging stations and numerous Government-grants, make this type of transport increasingly appealing.
Smart Shading
Your shading is for more than just shielding your home from the sun. It works with other components of your home to reach your comfort temperature and protect your furniture.
Fed up of the shrill wail of your alarm clock in the morning? Why not wake up in a more natural way? As the sun rises, your blinds can open to let the morning rays filter into your bedroom and wake you gently…
With a Eureka Smart Home, you can let your blinds and shading look after themselves – opening, closing and adjusting depending on the time of day and the temperature. In the summer, the blinds close automatically when a room reaches a set temperature, to prevent overheating. In the winter, many of us leave for work and arrive home in the dark. In a Smart Home, your blinds would open when the sun comes up and close automatically at dusk.
Regardless of whether you have blinds, curtains or roller shutters, you can integrate them into your smart home; use the energy from the sun to bring your rooms to a comfortable temperature. The blinds are kept open during the day until the room reaches its desired temperature, and then lowered to prevent overheating.
