What Our Smart Home Automation Systems Can Do For You
Home automation is all about making your life easier. So why not let S.M.S. automate the things that you don’t want to waste your time on?
A Full Range Of Smart Home Devices
S.M.S. offers a wide range of different smart home devices that can be controlled via a smart home hub. Here are just some of the things our systems can do for you:
- Control your smart lighting, both inside and outside of your home
- Adjust your heating and cooling
- Receive alerts if there is unusual activity in your home
- Arm and disarm your security system
- Open and close your garage doors
- Help make your energy usage more efficient
- Tend your Garden
Lighting Control
One of the most popular features of our smart technology systems is the ability to control your lighting. With S.M.S., you can schedule your smart lights to turn on and off at certain times, or even set them to come on when you open the door. You can also dim your lights from anywhere in the house, or even change their colour
Heating and Cooling Control
Our home automation systems can also be used to control your heating and cooling using a smart thermostat. This means you can schedule your AC to turn on before you get home, or set your heat to come on in the morning so you wake up to a warm house. You can even control your thermostat from anywhere in the world.
Save Money On Your Energy Bills
One of the great things about our smart home automation systems is that they can help you save money on your energy bills. By scheduling your lights and appliances to turn off when you’re not using them, you can reduce your energy usage and lower your bills. You can also use an app to monitor your energy usage so you can see exactly where you’re using the most energy and make changes accordingly.
Smart Security Systems
S.M.S. Security System Integration offers the ability to integrate your smart security products into our home automation platform. This means you can arm and disarm your security system, as well as receive alerts if there is unusual activity in your home. With security cameras and video doorbell integration, you can monitor activity at your property, and using remote access, see and speak to visitors at your front door from anywhere in the world.
Smart Locks
With traditional door locks you have to leave a key for workmen or family to access the house. With smart locks you can also grant and revoke access to your property remotely, giving you complete control over who has access to your home. A smart lock allows you remote control access to lock and unlock your door, and you can also set up notifications to let you know when someone enters or leaves your home.
Garage Door Control
Another popular feature of our smart home automation systems is the ability to control your garage doors. With S.M.S., you can open and close your garage doors from anywhere in the world and or even set it to close when your security system is armed. You can also schedule your garage doors to open and close at certain times, or set them to come on when you leave the house.
Tend your Garden
Our smart home automation systems can also be used to tend your garden. Smart watering systems can be scheduled to water your plants at certain times, and you can also receive alerts if your plants need watering. With a robotic grass cutter, you can set it to automatically cut your lawn so you never have to worry about it again and by keeping your home looking well-tended whilst you are on holiday you also deter burglars who may be looking for signs that a house is empty.
With a garden smart security camera, you can see what is happening in your garden from anywhere in the world. The garden camera also has night vision so you can see what is going on in your garden at night. You can also receive alerts if there is unusual activity in your garden.
Multimedia Smart Devices
Using your smart home automation system, you can also control your multimedia devices. This includes smart TVs, sound systems and other smart devices. With an S.M.S. smart home system, you can turn on your TV from bed, or play your favourite song with the touch of a button. You can even set up your home cinema lighting scene to come on when you start watching a movie.
Using A Smart Speaker
Smart speakers are also a popular choice for our customers. With a voice assistant and smart speaker, you can control all of your smart home devices using just voice commands. You can ask your smart speaker to turn on all the lights or set the temperature. You can even ask it to play your favourite song and with our user-friendly voice control, you can carry on with your tasks, move from room to room, and play music or podcasts where ever you are.
The SMS Smart Home Ecosystem
We will ensure all of your smart devices are compatible with each other, so you can choose the best smart devices for you and create your own personalised smart home automation system. Whether you want to control your lighting, heating and cooling, security system or garage door, S.M.S. has a wide range of products to choose from.
Smart Plugs
Smart plugs allow you to control your other electrical devices from your smartphone or smart speaker. With a smart plug, you can turn on and off your less smart devices, as well as set schedules and timers allowing you to integrate more of your appliances and devices into your smart home system.
Compatibility
New smart devices are constantly entering the market so it is important that your smart home hub is compatible with new devices. With S.M.S., our customers can rest assured that their system will be compatible with any new electronic devices they add to their homes in the future.
