CAN SMART TECH make your life easier?
Find out how automating your home’s core functions, including lighting, heating and security, can simplify your lifestyle
Go back several years, and an intelligent setup that connected your heating, lighting, security and home entertainment platforms through one centralised hub might have seemed reserved for tech-savvy homeowners with big budgets for fancy automated systems.
