In addition, set the lights and shades to create an ambiance for entertaining in your open-concept kitchen and living area. From your mobile device while at home or away you can view surveillance cameras, unlock the door, or set the temperature. Smart.IA Home Automation Control adds convenience, comfort, and confidence.
Lighting Control
Custom-tailored lighting control allows you to change the mood of any area of your home. Whether watching TV, dining or entertaining, one press of a button can create the desired ideal atmosphere.

Smart.IA lighting control also contributes to a safe environment by linking with the security system to turn all lights on if uninvited activity is detected. Lighting control systems save energy.
security
A safe and secure home needs to be smart enough to alert you whether home or away. With our Smart.IA security installations, you can preview streaming video from security cameras right on your touchscreen display or iPad®, iPhone® or Android™ device.
-
At your home, use your touch screen as a video intercom system so you can see who's at the door. While you're away, disarm alarm systems to let in the housekeeper or babysitter, then activate it as soon as they leave. Integrate with a lighting control system so lights turn on if an intrusion is detected or a dim pathway is lit when the smoke alarm is activated.
surveillance
With high-definition surveillance cameras in and around your home, you can monitor activities real-time whether you’re in the house or away from home. Receive live video streams of entrances to see who’s at the door, interior areas, and perimeter.
-
This can be done from the same touch screen that controls your home entertainment system or from your mobile device. Camera types include pan-tilt-zoom, covert, long-range, nanny cams, and more. Activity is documented on a digital recorder so you can play back at your convenience.
Connected Home
If you’re using smart devices and have a home technology system you’ll be living in a connected home environment that offers convenience, flexibility, and an enhanced lifestyle.
-
Smart.IA will work with you to determine which technologies need to be connected to your network, wired or wireless, to meet your needs. This may only be some components or it may be everything from HDTV, IPTV, media servers, lights, shades, security, VoIP phones, appliances, and your control system. In all cases, the connectivity will be reliable and secure.
energy management
By programming the management of your lights, thermostats, and window shades your can achieve significant savings in the amount of power you consume and the costs associated with that power.
-
Outdoor lights can go on at dusk and go off at dawn, instead of burning until you notice them. Interior lights that are easily dimmed or turned off from a touch panel, remote control, or as part of a pre-programmed routine.
Thermostats can be accessed remotely and adjusted. Additionally they can be programmed in an "away" mode to save energy when not there, as well as be set to a comfortable level, remotely, before you arrive back home.
For hot climates, or in houses with lots of exposed glass, the automatic opening and closing of shades can keep the house cooler and more comfortable while reducing energy costs.
Time-of-day pricing of electricity is rapidly becoming the norm and new software for tracking your energy consumption, comparing it to historical data, and helping you make conservation decisions is here.
Smart.IA can program the running of your smart appliances, pool filters and heaters, and other smart devices so they operate during lower-cost hours.
leak detection
Have you ever experienced a water leak from your hot water tank, ice maker, toilet, washing machine, dishwasher, or broken pipe? The damage caused by water leaks runs to billions of dollars each year, not to mention the aggravation of replacing sheetrock, carpeting, wood floors, etc.
-
Smart.IA provides you with comfort and confidence with an automated main water valve shutoff that is triggered by sensors placed throughout the house where leaks may develop. When a leak is detected it automatically shuts off the main supply of water to the house and sends an email or text to your phone notifying you of the event and the location.
pool control
Your entire pool area, including heater, spa, fountains, and lights can now be programmed to come on and off according to your desires, schedule, and usage. Want your spa to be ready when you get home? Control it from your phone before you get there and jump right in.
