the Energy & ECO conscious
Understand & improve your energy efficiency
Connect to your solar input (or don’t) and your energy providers to not only understand total consumption but also what devices are used the most per day. This will help you understand and plan when and how best to use these appliances when tariffs are lower. Pairing this with some smart radiator valves and contact sensors, we can turn your heating off in designated areas when windows are open, saving energy (and cost). We’ve been able to reduce gas usage by 8% by deploying these automations.
The mood maker
Lighting the way
It is only after you have lived with automated smart lighting, do you truly feel how freeing and life-changing it is. This gives a home that luxury feel but to bring it up a level, let’s get the correct lighting for when you need it. When the sun sets, when you play something on Netflix, when the doorbell rings? We work with you to set the ‘moods’ that work for you, automatically. However, we build all our Smart Homes with switches still installed; if you ever have guests visit, they can use the lighting manually.
the data junkie
Knowledge is power
Your home can already provide you with insights; you just need the right platform to extract it. We can tell you when the family is home, when the washing machine has finished, or what your consumption has been. To be in the know is to be in control.
The family man
Tracking & Check-in
Young kids? Our Support Homes support GPS tracking of personal devices (if everyone agrees to it!). Alternatively, family members can be prompted to ‘check in’ via text message, if location tracking is too invasive, or at a minimum, we provide ‘at home’ statuses. Not home by curfew; we can send some alerts.
the tinkerer
Get support for your existing Smart Home project
You may already be using Home Assistant, but to fully utilise its features can be quite a steep learning curve. We can help you too through provisioning new dashboards, deploying best practices to your automations so they run more effectively or helping you get past that issue that has been bugging you for ages. Whatever the scope of size, share your challenge and let’s see if we can help.
The innovator
Leveraging AI to do the hard work
The likes of ChatGPT, or image recognition on your CCTV can bring a whole new level to your Cheaper Smart Home by interpreting commands or images. Is the person at the doorbell holding a box; then it’s probably a delivery person so I am going to send a voice command to the doorbell to ask if the parcel can be left down the side alley. Think of the possibilities!
the support
Add an extra safety net for your elderly parents
In 2021, the ONS reported, 36.3% of elderly people lived alone. It is a sensitive and challenging topic; tackling the transition in which we all will eventually require more support in our latter years. We also understand the importance of independence, which is where we believe our Cheaper Smart Homes can support. Not only can our smart lights support automatic turn-on for those with limited mobility, but using some of the technologies listed above: GPS, motion sensors, check-ins, and temperature sensors, you can have peace of mind that you will be notified if anything were to go awry.
