What is Home Automation?

Witth more and more smart electronics and equipment playing such an important role in our everyday lives, you'd think they'd be making life easier. But with so many different technologies and formats - BluRay, CD, Bluetooth, MP3, HD and so on - more often than not it makes life more cluttered and inconvenient. Wouldn't life be better if everything worked together?

Audio Connection's Custom Installation team can set up a Control4 system in your home that allows you to control everything from home cinema, central heating and cooling, multi-room music, lighting and security. It is very afforable and cost effective, easy to install, simple to use and extremely flexible. In fact, using Control4, Audio Connection can design a system that's only limited by your imagination.

Imagine the following scenarios:

  • The family is all sat down on the couch, ready to watch your favourite movie. In one touch, the movie starts, the curtains close and the surround sound kicks in at the perfect volume.
  • You rush the kids out of the house and drop them off to school before you arrive at work, wondering if you closed the garage door. One check of your mobile phone, and you see that all the doors are locked and the windows closed.
  • You're just about to finish a long day at the office on a hot, humid day. Using your office computer or mobile phone, you turn on the air conditioning in your home to a nice, cool 21C, so your home is at the perfect temperature by the time you get home. 
  • It's 12:03 am. You're lying in bed, drifting off to sleep, just as your partner asks you "Are all the doors locked?". You groan and start to get out of bed, before you remember that all the doors and windows lock automatically at 11:30 pm every night.


Audio Connection can help you achieve all these possibilities. We can design you the perfect home automation system of your dreams to suit your budget. Your home automation can be customised to start at any size, so whether you want to start with one control solution and expand in the future, or completely convert your house into a home, Audio Connection can help.
