This innovative technology is powered by the Somfy Tahoma smart home system, which allows you to control everything in your home – from lights, to garage doors to blinds and much more – through an app on your Smartphone, wherever you are in the world. This offers a range of possibilities. For example, the Somfy technology boasts a special geolocation feature that automatically starts certain functions with just the click of a smartphone. For example, garage doors and lights can be set so that they operate as soon as the system detects that you are near your home, so garage door is open and everything is ready for you when you enter your driveway. Also, the system offers homeowners a way to make their property more secure. With this smart home technology, it’s easy to make your house look like it’s occupied while you’re away - by turning on lights, radios etc via the app. Also, Somfy camera systems can be added. So, for instance, if you’re expecting a delivery you can use the system to open the gate, talk to the courier on intercom and then use security cameras to watch them put it where you want – rather than leaving it on the doorstep for all to see, a blatant sign of an empty house. Equally, if the cameras spot someone prowling around your property, the TaHoma system can be alerted and then automatically shut all the blinds and screens, sound an alarm, and send you a message. “Security has always been an important consideration for us at AlluGuard,” says Sales Manager Eugene Perez. “So, the incredible security potential of Somfy home automation is something we are proud to offer – and it is a strong and consistent selling point for this excellent product range.” To find out more about AlluGuard garage doors and smart home solutions call 0845 3665831 or email info@alluguard.co.uk To see AlluGuard products in action, go to www.vimeo.com/alluguard or visit www.alluguard.co.uk
