Domestic Garage Doors Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Smart Living Starts with SWS UK and Somfy SWS UK has been working alongside Somfy to produce a home automation system which puts homeowners in control, enabling them to secure their world, even when they are miles from home. With a choice of two packages, customers can either opt for the home automation starter kit, Connexoon, which can control the garage door and fulfil basic commands or upgrade to the fully integrated TaHoma hub, enabling them to add additional features, such as controlling blinds, curtains, heating and electrical equipment. The Connexoon Although this system is referred to as the home automation starter kit, the Connexoon is equipped with lots of smart features which will allow customers to enjoy the convenience of home automation with just a few taps on their phone or tablet. As well as controlling a garage, it’s possible to link the Connexoon RTS to gates, outdoor lights and Philips Hue Lighting, meaning users can easily turn on lights and open the garage door ready for when they arrive home. As well as providing convenience, smart living can also increase security thanks to the app which will notify users whether or not their garage door is securely locked or if any movement has been detected on their home surveillance system. The TaHoma As well as all the benefits that come with having a Connexoon, The TaHoma interface allows users to adopt even more control of their environment, wherever they are. This future-proof kit enables users to add technology as their lifestyle changes. From programming your curtains to open in the morning, to remotely adjusting your heating, TaHoma allows you to add these comforts when you’re ready. Available immediately, home automation from SWS UK and Somfy can also be compatible with multiple devices, including Amazon Alexa, Google, Hue, Sonos and Velux.
