solutions
Digital living solutions may vary significantly, however, most share the overall goals to provide comfort, security, convenience and energy management.
Typically this includes presence and time activated room configuration, door and room access control, distributed movies and music and intelligently integrated heating, lighting and shades.
We strive to deliver the solution requested by clients, with a genuine understanding of the end game.
Open Standards
Our building management solutions are founded on KNX, an established world-wide building management systems standard. It is supported by over 50 electrical manufacturers, removing the risk of dependence on a single vendor.
In a KNX solution, intelligence is provided by programmable push button sensors communicating with configurable control actuators; this avoids single points of failure and enables thousands of devices to communicate in a configuration.
KNX technology and products are highly cost effective and proven in major installs within the residential and commercial sectors across the world. These include the British Library and St Pancras Station.
