It offers buyers a package of benefits unlike any other, adding value, comfort and security to their purchase. For secure housing tenants, Intelligent Home Control means more options, more flexibility and for those with disabilities, a higher degree of independence. In Denmark, where the system was developed, it’s success is now self-evident; 85% of those new homes suitable for installation have had Intelligent Home Control fitted, a figure which represents 40% of the total new homes market.

Intelligent Home Control is smart yet simple

Smart homes have been around for some time but only for the privileged few. Complex technology, and an inability to produce to economies of scale meant that costs were prohibitively expensive. However, Intelligent Home Control is the first central intelligence system in which all functions are controlled from a simple, centralised hub, making the system accessible, flexible and affordable. Inputs and outputs are connected to a central controller loaded with all the necessary programming. Windows drag-and-drop software is used to create the required settings, which means that any changes required in the future are easily carried out via a PC. Should the mains power be cut, all settings are protected by a battery powered back-up.
