Creating the smart home you always dreamed of
Home. It’s a reflection of you, your style and what matters most. It’s where you want every detail to count; a seamless home that makes a statement and where you have control at your fingertips.
At PDL, we understand how smart homes can offer you convenience and enhanced functionality. We provide support to help you find the right solution that works for your needs now and into the future.
How to start planning your smart home
There are many ways to turn your home into a smart home.
You could start small with an inexpensive, easy to install stand-alone home automation system. Or you could be building a new house and want to integrate a more complex system.
Every home and situation are unique.
Your smart home system expert will consider this to make the right recommendations and create a smart home that is functional and suitable to the way you like to live.
Who lives here?
The smart home expert will need to know who uses your home. Is remote access important? Make a note of any routines or schedules you have.
Budget
How much would you like to spend connecting your home? If your budget is tight there are cost effective ways to get started, which make expanding later simpler and easier.
Devices
Note down the smart home devices or appliances you already have, or ones that you know you want to connect to/control such as your lighting, front gate or garage door.
Motivation
To ensure your objectives are met, let your smart home expert know why you want a smart home. Is it for safety and security? Comfort and control?
What smart home options are available?
It is highly likely your home might already be smart! Consider smart switches that you can remotely control, a motion sensor which activates the light in your pantry or walk-in wardrobe, or a timer on your outdoor lights or extractor fan. These are really simple and easy ways to automate your home.
Smart homes enable you to take it a step further and control your home through an app on your smart phone as well as manually. Smart homes can help with energy efficiency, peace of mind, comfort and control. Take a look at the different options we offer.
