A WIRELESS HOME AUTOMATION AND MONITORING SYSTEM THAT LETS YOU TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL A new wire-free home automation and monitoring system can now transform any house or apartment into an intelligent home. Ingeny@home brings together domestic electrical systems and devices to help effectively manage and check lighting, heating, CCTV, smoke alarms and leak detection, as well as operating window blinds and multiroom audio solutions. Using the latest wireless technology, it is the most cost-effective system of its kind currently available at just a quarter of the price of a traditional, hardwired home automation solution. The Ingeny@home app is suitable for a range of smartphones and tablets, combining all home automation needs into a single interface. Simple icons allow one-click monitoring and management of different aspects of the home for added control of everyday life and essential functions. It can be used from any room, or remotely when out, to operate and interact with home electrics or create a command where the system will complete a task automatically. The wide range of functionality includes: MOTION DETECTORS HEATING LIGHTING Compact and discreet motion sensors not only detect if someone is in the room, they can also determine temperature and lighting levels. These sensors can identify when it is evening and automatically increase brightness of your lighting or raise an alert for any suspicious movement when away. By combining motion and lighting sensors lowlevel safety lighting can be automatically turned on for when residents or guests get up during the night to go to the bathroom, get a drink of water or investigate a noise. The ambient level of heating can be controlled throughout the home, or alternatively individual schedules by areas or room can be created for different situations, occupation or time of the year. The heating can be turned on and off using a smartphone and tablet, whether at home or away, and remotelymanaged schedules can be set up for hot water, holidays and frozen pipe protection. Easily switch internal and external lights on or off from a mobile device in or away from the home. In fact, it is possible to create personal lighting moods and scenarios, or even simulate occupancy while out or on holiday. The discreet sensors are fitted hidden from view behind existing light switches, so there is no need to buy any costly smart bulbs or replace fittings. SMOKE ALARM LEAK DETECTION & An aesthetically pleasing and discreet smoke and temperature monitoring sensor can be placed anywhere in the home. If the amount of smoke is not enough to trigger the alarm it can still detect a rapid change of temperature and generate an aler t. Meanwhile, the wireless flood sensor provides total peace of mind for your plumbing and white goods, with advanced warning of even the smallest leak. This clever sensor can reach inaccessible or hard to reach areas, so it is possible to react quickly to a problem. www.ingeny.co.uk
