New app will turn ordinary homes into the houses of the future.
When we’re off on holiday enjoying sunnier climes, the last thing we want to think about is what’s happening at home.
Did we forget to turn the heating off? Is the bathroom light still on? Did we set the alarm?
All questions that have gone through everyone’s head at one time or another while sitting in the airport departure lounge or sunning themselves at the pool.
Now a Perth-based company has come up with the solution to all of those lingering worries thanks to the launch of an application of technologies that can transform an ordinary home into a house of the future.
Inspiro, the residential arm of d3 Audio Visual, the professional AV and network solutions provider, has created a smartphone-style touch and slide control that monitors and adjusts every aspect of the home, including lighting, heating systems, audio and video systems and home security.
Inspiro is the result of years of extensive research and investment by d3AV.
Managing director Marc Heath, said: “Inspiro represents a giant leap forward for homeowners, who will now be able to see what is happening in their homes while they are away and enable them to take appropriate action simply by using a hand-held device.”
The Inspiro system works via a unique home-based server that can be accessed remotely by the customer.
Ideally, the wiring as in wiring for home entertainment systems is installed at the build stage of the home, but in most cases it can be retro-fitted.
David Gill, business development manager, said: “Inspiro controls anything electronic, from lights and blinds to audio, video, central heating and home security.
“Energy consumption can be regulated by allowing the remote control of individual thermostats in separate rooms, which in turn send signals via actuators on the radiator to ensure the temperature is fully controlled.”
Inspiro is targeted at mainstream housebuilders, small scale developers, self-builders and individual residential customers.
