Automations and Controls
Having smartphone app control of your devices is just one facet of a smart home. When creating new smart home projects, our aim is to improve the quality of daily life by having devices respond to multiple forms of controls, integrated in a natural way to every homeowner’s routines.
This can be achieved mainly through automations and remote controls.
Setting up a smart home is all about opening up new ways to control your devices. In the past, you’d flip a switch to turn a light on and off. With a smart home, there are now multiple ways to control them.
Multiple device control
Room and Zone-based Control
Organize your smart devices by assigning them to rooms – e.g. living room, kitchen, bedroom. It’ll be easier to navigate your home app, and you can control all devices in a room with a voice command or other controls. Zones are a collection of rooms, e.g. downstairs.
Scenes and Routines
Set a group of devices to be turned on or off to suit a particular mood or function. All devices will be controlled simultaneously upon triggering the scene. For example, a “Movie time” scene could turn off all your lights, and turn on your TV and ambient lights.
Whole Home Control
When all your devices are smart, you’ll be able to control your whole home in one command or automation. Imagine leaving the house, and having every single one of your lights, AC, fans, and other accessories turning themselves off automatically.
Remote Controls
Wireless Switch Control
Make your home devices even more accessible by adding dedicated wireless smart switches, which work as two-way switches – just without the wires. You can put one on your bedside table to turn off your bedroom lights.
Smartphone Control
Use the apps on your smartphone to control your devices, add scenes, and configure automations. Your smart accessories are now easily accessible at your fingertips – even if you’re not at home. You can even set scenes and use voice commands!
Voice Commands
Smart speakers and phone voice assistants can now control your devices and trigger routines and scenes. While not everyone fancies speaking to a machine, it’s a surprisingly useable hands-free control – our parent clients can testify!
Automations
Time-based Automation
Set a smart device to turn on or off at a specific time, on specified days. You can also choose “Sunset” or “Sunrise”, which varies by the day. Devices can also be set to turn itself off after a set amount of time.

Sensor Automation
Set devices to turn on or off when a sensor detects something, such as motion sensors triggering lights.

Turn everything OFF
When the first person arrives home:
Turn ON entryway lights
Turn ON living room fan

Conditions
Sometimes, you may not want to trigger automations at certain timings, or if nobody is at home. You can use conditions as the requirements for an automation to run, and these are configured directly in the automations themselves. This gives you very fine control over your smart home systems.
For bathrooms and corridors:
IF motion is detected, turn ON lights
IF no motion is detected for 3 minutes, turn OFF lights
Condition: only run during the night (sunset to sunrise)
For cooling:
IF temperature is above 29C, turn ON bedroom fan
