From Monaco, through Cannes and down to St Tropez we have seen a huge increase this year already in our Home Automation solutions.
Some from a security perspective, incorporating IP CCTV and access control, others to simplify entertainment system control and around 50% a combination of the above with some lighting control thrown in.
There are quite a few luxury Villas on the French riviera that are set to be even more luxurious by summer 2010 and the Film Festival !
Imagine coming home from a long day at work. With a single button press you turn on the heating, the blinds close, several lights turn on and create a cosy, intimate atmosphere.
The wall outlets, which were shut off for safety reasons during your absence, are switched on again…
A sudden noise wakes you up in the middle of the night. Press your bedside button and your home becomes secure itself. All lighting is turned on, while all blinds close. The garden lighting starts to flash, to attract attention…
Bedtime: again, you press a single button. All lighting is turned off and nightlights start to glow. The garden remains lit for an hour. Wall outlets are turned off again for safety and to reduce electrosmog. Finally, the air-conditioning is lowered by a couple of degrees.
Lighting schemes can be controlled via touch panel control meaning for example that with a single command you can close the curtains in the cinema room, dim the lights and turn on the projector.
A door entry system can simply be added via integration on the telephone system, when the gate entry is pressed the call could be routed to any phone within the property and further routed to a mobile or fixed line anywhere in the world, allowing for gate access to be controlled remotely.
With your multi function touch panel remote control you can take control of all your AV, security camera surveillance, lighting scenes, environmental control and gate entry.
