Home Automation for Christmas Festivities

With so much planning to do, it can all seem a little overwhelming at times - that's where home automation comes in.

By automating your home, you can automatically or remotely control functions at the touch of a button no matter where you are or how busy you are. We've taken the time to list a few benefits that a Somfy home automation system can offer you during the festive season, aside from impressing your guests!

Illuminate Your Home

Home automation allows you to go the extra mile with your Christmas light displays. With RTS (Radio Technology Somfy) controlled lighting, you can program decorative lights to display exactly what you want, when you want it. It's not only your colourful festive lights that make a difference to the ambience at Christmas, use RTS lighting to set that special ambience for family meals or dim the lights in your home theatre to watch your favourite Christmas movies.

All you need is to have your lights fitted with an RTS receiver and you'll be controlling your lights via remote or phone in no time!

Maximise Family Time

Christmas is time for family - you'll want to spend as much time as possible with your loved ones and as little as possible organising your home. With Somfy motorisation, you can automate your blinds, curtains, roller shutters and lights so you don't need to spend a minute thinking about them. Our intelligent systems can be operated at the touch of a button, remotely on your smart phone or on timers so you can plan ahead and react instantly to weather changes.

Sleep Easy

With so much to do at this busy time of year, getting a good night's sleep is vital to making it through the holiday season! The last thing you need is to be worrying about whether you've secured your home, remembered to close the curtains in the guest room or if you've switched the Christmas lights off.

This is where Somfy proves invaluable! All of these processes can be automated and any tasks you forget, you can carry out on your smart phone or using voice control without leaving your bed.

Dream of a Green Christmas

Use Somfy automation this Christmas to save energy and money. Automating your lights or your Somfy-motorised blinds, curtains and awnings means you can save on bills for lighting, heating and cooling your home. Taking advantage of natural light and setting your electric lights to automatically turn off will ensure you are conserving heat overnight. Helping the planet is even easier when it can save you money, as well.
