HOW TO Integrate Smart Technology into Your New Activa Home
Are you considering a smart home but have no idea where to start? Looking at all the smart home gadgets on the market can be extremely overwhelming (especially for those of us who aren’t tech-savvy), which is why we at Activa have simplified the process for you! Our smart home options are trusted by us and our expert Smart Home Integrator, Station Earth. Station Earth will install and integrate your smart home technology, so it is ready from day one. You will also be trained on how to use the system, so you can feel cool and confident using all your new smart home tech (and so you can show off to your friends). Why smart home? A smart home provides homeowners with security, comfort, and convenience, offering a completely different experience to homeownership. Here’s what an Activa smart home can offer you: 1. Lutron Smart Lighting Smart lighting means you never have to enter a dark home again! With the touch of a button, 32
interior and exterior lights will turn on automatically as you pull into your home’s driveway. Heading out? Save energy by tapping the “away” button to turn your lights off. With an upgrade to Station Earth’s ELAN all-in-one integration system, the “all on” alert button can be integrated with the security system to scare away an intruder instantly. You can also set timers to conveniently schedule lights to turn on when it gets dark and off when it starts to get light out. Smart lighting is even better when it is integrated with smart shades. At the touch of a button, your shades will operate in perfect unison. You can schedule your shades to strategically lower during the day to prevent harsh UV rays from shining through. Smart shades are offered in a variety of fabric colours and textures for complete design personalization. As a bonus, all your smart lighting technology can be controlled from anywhere in the world (with good cell service, of course)!
