Smart Homes
What does Home Automation mean? It sounds like something Tomorrow’s World used to talk about. But unlike those programs from the 70’s, it doesn’t involve robots (yet!). It does involve you controlling a variety of household functions at the touch of a button. Automation such as remote curtain closing/opening have been around for a number of years but advancement in technology now means sensors can detect the presence of a person and immediately turn on the lights. Room temperature can be adjusted far more accurately, you can control the oven from your smart phone or tablet, we could go on. One degree west specialise in Smart Home System Installation, allowing you to wirelessly control your automated home.
Of course all this can be integrated with a multi room entertainment system, all operated by wireless controllers, giving you a truly fully automated home. Our extensive experience of installting wireless network solutions for homes and businesses means we can design and fit the right solution for you.

Designing Smart Home Systems is often done when building a new home or redesigning one. So if this is part of a bigger project within your property, we can work closely with your architects and developers to ensure smooth installation throughout the various stages.
When you contact one degree west we will make an appointment to visit you, we will explain and recommend the right system for you and your budget. Our installation team will fit your system with as little hassle to you as possible and we will fully explain how your system works and answer all the questions you may have. Our service does not end there, if you have any problems we are only a phone call away.
Lighting Control Systems
Lighting Control or ‘Mood Lighting’ as it’s sometimes called is a sophisticated system that not only controls the brightness of lights, but also the time at which they come on, what activates them to come on, such as people sensors or light sensors, and they can be adapted as part of a security system, giving the impression that someone is the house at all times.
The whole system can be controlled via wireless control panels, wall mounted panels or even your smart phone or tablet. The equipment we use comes from market leaders such as Lutron, Rako & iLux. We have fully qualified engineers, trained by the various manufacturers to advise, design and install your system. The design process is vital to the successful implementation of your automated lighting and so consultation with you throughout the process will be very important.
Again, all this can be integrated with a multi room entertainment system, all operated by wireless controllers, giving you a truly fully automated home.
