Speak up! Your house is listening. Voice control is one of the most unbelievable things that a Smart Home could do. Through the integration of Amazon Alexa, you can tell your house what to do—whether it’s turning off all lights or turning all of it on, etc.

If you have Control4 Smart Lighting, you can add immediate out-of-the-box voice control of your lights with Amazon Alexa-enabled devices. Ask Alexa to light the way when you walk into the house with your arms full. Set the mood easily by asking Alexa to lower the dining room lights to 40%. Or turn off every light at once from the comfort of your bed covers when it’s time to turn in.

Benefits of Smart Home Automation for the Busy and Tired

Blog

In this age of technology and given with so many choices to choose from with our time, everyone is busy with something these days. But we all have a share of coming home tired from work or whatever activity did we sink our teeth into for the day, so exhausted that we just crash on the sofa never wanting to move one bit. But you have to get up because you need to dim the lights and turn on the AC. And then, you suddenly remember to postpone sleep and just have a relaxing time for a bit. A movie night, perhaps?

This is where how you could appreciate more the idea of a smart home. Let alone a Smart home that matches your lifestyle. Smart Lighting and smart entertainment come into play. The total home theater experience. Automatically dim your lights when your movie starts to play. Since your smart house “knows” when you’re watching something, it can respond appropriately when distractions intrude on your viewing experience by pausing the movie, raising the lights and notifying you that someone is at the door. So many entertainment options and all of these in just a press of a button from a Control4 menu on an Ipad or any other Control4 touch screens in the house.

Here’s an excerpt of a tour of one posh penthouse in San Antonio, one of Control4 smart home stories:

Having already lived with automation at his ranch home and his company office, Richard knew a space of this size could truly take advantage of all things automation. “Home automation in a place like this is almost a must,” he says. The Control4 system controls myriad elements, including shades, lighting, and climate. “It has about every bell and whistle you’d want,” Richard notes. There are four entertainment centers on the system, eight televisions, and eight surround sound systems. LED lighting throughout the unit is on the system, including the blue highlights built into the bar. Richard is especially glad he decided to include the doorbell on the system because now he gets a text when someone rings the doorbell and he’s there. Automation has added a lot of convenience and has made a ton of clutter disappear. Richard replaced 77 remotes with one Control4 remote. “I had all these different remotes, for the TVs, the cable boxes, Amazon, Apple TV, the sound system, the fans,” Richard explains. “I was able to reduce all of that down to one portable. And it works! It’s totally reliable.”

Not surprisingly, and more than anything, this penthouse was built for entertaining, which automation supports in many ways. “Welcome” sensors detect when guests enter a room and automatically turn on lights and start the music. Even before Richard arrives, he can trigger the three in-house ice-makers remotely to start cranking out ice for a party. People operate the system using SR-260 handheld remotes, 7-inch touch screens, or their iPhones. Richard’s personal favorite feature? Having his beloved McIntosh sound system included in the automation. Now, he can adjust specific settings like the audio equalizer via Control4. “You just push a button and, boom, it sets it all up for you.”

Reduce Your Energy Bill To At Least 20% With Therm-Aire Solar Hybrid Air Conditioning System

Blog

Therm-Aire Solar Hybrid Air Conditioning Systems

Designed to be the most efficient Air Conditioning solution available in the Philippines today, it operates at a lower running cost of power consumption providing monthly electricity savings and also extending the operational life of the unit itself. Therm-Aire is certified by the Singapore Green Building Council as Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP 2016-569) last July 29, 2016.

Therm-Aire Solar Hybrid Air Conditioning systems offer a significant reduction in the consumption of electricity versus both inverter and even greater savings to conventional air conditioning technologies by harnessing the ambient temperature of the environment and using it to your advantage. Our recent projects have given our valued clients savings of at least 20% versus Inverters, and in excess of 50% savings on conventional air conditioning units.

Unlike the conventional and inverter air conditioning systems, Therm-Aire utilizes thermal collector (to convert both solar as well as ambient energy) to superheat the refrigerant to convert it from a low pressure, low-temperature gas into a high pressure, high-temperature gas, reducing reliance on the compressor. The compressor’s primary function is to serve as a pump to push the refrigerant around the system.

Through a combination of our proprietary solar thermal technology, solar absorption medium and refrigerant, our system works such that the major work of superheating the refrigerant is done almost totally by our solar collector, thereby drastically reducing the workload of the compressor. This translates into huge reduction in electricity consumption as the energy consumed by the work of the compressor constitutes more than 80% of the air conditioning system.

Also, unlike Photo-voltaic cell Solar System, Therm-Aire still saves energy even if its thermal collector has no direct exposure to sunlight. The thermal collector has three main components: Storage Tank, Evacuated Tubes and Gel Mixture. The Storage Tank contains a Gel Mixture that absorbs the solar/thermal energy collected by the Evacuated Tubes. This special gel has the capacity to store the heat up to 96 hours after being exposed to direct sunlight or an ambient temperature of 26 degrees Celsius or higher. The copper pipes carrying the refrigerant from the Evaporator passes through the Tubes containing the heated Gel thus increasing the temperature of the refrigerant before it enters the compressor again.

In addition to employing Green Technologies as a means of reducing operating costs, our systems also promote a better indoor environment by improving the comfort level, by controlling the Relative Humidity (RH) and maintaining ideal RH levels between 40% to 50%, this reduces the growth of fungi and moulds in addition to reducing the risk of Respiratory Infections. Our systems have been exclusively used for almost 15 years by the UNITED NATIONS (U.N) in Medical, Pharmaceutical and Humanitarian facilities around the world with unparalleled success

Therm-Aire Solar (Thermal) Hybrid Air Conditioning systems are compliant to Philippine corporation Environmental Action Plan by reducing Energy consumption, creating reduction of Green House gases and establishing a smaller carbon footprint than any other Air Conditioner available in the Philippine market today. Additionally, Therm-Aire Solar Hybrid Air Conditioning systems address guidelines and criteria for compliance of Green Purchase Guidelines for suppliers as well as meeting the standards of Environmental Safety & Health Programs.
