Home automation Installer in Cambridge
Do you have concerns about the environment and about your own energy consumption? Have you also ever thought about being able to monitor and control elements of your home’s electrical installation remotely while away at work or on holiday? If so then Rako’s home automation system is the solution you have been looking for. Rako’s system can be tailored to suit every individuals’ requirements and retrofitted to any existing installation. It can also be added to over time if you are planning to start with one area/room of your property. It gives you the option to add more switching/dimming modules over time once the core elements have been installed and commissioned.
This means you would not need to upgrade or replace any equipment to expand. This is especially useful if you are upgrading your home on a room by room basis and would like to spread out the cost of installation. The Rako home automation and control system is incredibly versatile and is best specified to you on an individual plan that would consider what you would like to control and how you would like to control it. Let me now explain various applications of the system.
The main function for the Rako system would be to control multiple lighting circuits within a room or across multiple rooms. Within a room you could control, dim and raise the light levels of multiple lights at the touch of one button. It can be effective when used in conjunction with a bespoke LED lighting room plan (insert link to LED lighting room plan landing page) to create mood lighting schemes. In fact, it’s far cleverer than that as it can be fully programmed to adjust the light levels accordingly throughout the day automatically. So as the sun goes down the lights are raised slowly over a pre-set time, so subtly that your eyes wont even notice. And of course, you can always
override this facility with the touch of one button.
The system will also fully integrate with virtually all other home automation/control systems. For example, the Hive heating control system tracks you geographically using your smart phone so when you are on you way home and are less than 10 minuets away it will raise the heating levels in your home in anticipation of your arrival. The Rako system can receive this instruction from your Hive device and will switch on all your outside lights so you can see your way up to your property. This is the energy saving aspect coming into play here as dimming lights and reducing the amount of time lights are automatically switched on all helps with reducing your carbon footprint.
With the remote application control, you would never need to worry if you have left any unnecessary lights on in your property when away as you can check and switch
them off. If you are concerned about security and have an alarm system installed the Rako system can be programmed so that when the alarm is triggered all your house lights are switched on fully.
They will blink inside and outside lights alternately drawing maximum attention to your property along with your alarm siren. This function cannot be overridden when triggered until the alarm is disabled meaning any intruder would not be able to switch off the lights and remain hidden. In addition to this security function, while away you could use the stored macro data collected by the system to switch lights on and off within your house at times you would normally to give the impression the house was still occupied. And along with the motorized curtain and blind control function could close and open your curtains/blinds to really give an authentic impression that the
house was still occupied.
Rako’s system will even integrate with voice activated technology such as Amazons Alexa and Apples Siri. This will enable you control and operate your lighting and blinds/curtains with a simple vocal request. As the average home is becoming much smarter I could continue to go in much more detail about the various options available, the possibilities really are endless.
