SECURITY, ENERGY SAVING, COMFORT & CONTROL FOR YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS SECURITY ENERGY SAVING SIMULATED OCCUPANCY LIGHTING Control of lighting (both internal and external) to create simulated occupancy. Automatically turn off lighting and power when you want to. Central programmer enables you to programme lighting and power seven days a week. Leave lighting to turn off automatically when you leave for work. Have lighting, as well as audio devices such as radio’s switch on and off during holidays to give your home that lived in appearance. Last man out function – not sure if the upstairs lights are still on? Easily remedied by a master switch inside the front door to turn everything off when you leave and back on when you return. OUTDOOR LIGHTING EXTERNAL POWER Automatically switch on lights via presence detectors. Providing switching for external power so that sockets on the outside of buildings are only powered when you want to use them. Additional switching for multiple use (all the family can have a key fob to put external lights on as they approach the home). Automatically switch on/off Christmas lighting so that it is only on when you want it to be. COMFORT CONTROL LIFE’S LITTLE LUXURIES Creating scenes to provide added ambience for any situation around the home. Control children’s rooms to restrict use of TV / gaming etc. Provide timed access routes to create scenes such as “morning” or “bedtime”. ASSISTED LIVING IN THE HOME Change the use of a room – putting switches where you want them. Ideal for converting a downstairs room into a bedroom. IN THE OFFICE Switches can be mounted on any surface – even glass. IN THE GARDEN Provides flexibility to change an installation to meet changing requirements of the occupier. Wireless switching up to 200 metres. Use a bell push to switch a light on for the hard of hearing. Interacts with building management systems to provide additional control. Create a bedtime route that turns all lights on and off to allow the occupier to get to bed without needing to switch lights on/off.
