Smart Condos
The builder of these condos — aimed at the retirement age with an appeal to those who desired a modern, minimalist aesthetic — wanted features that would set these units apart from the competition. The solution? Integrate smart home systems not found in similar developments nearby.
Using a Control4 platform, Look & Listen delivered an efficient, easy-to-use, and secure system. Additionally, the team set out to integrate and control all features available within the condos to work on one system. All subsystems were combined and programmed to work using lighting keypads, wall mount, and table-top touch panels. The integrator included added benefits such as the ability to control everything from the touch panels in bed, or even calling internally between floors which ensured the ‘ease of use’ objective was exceeded.
Lighting, shading, networking, and other systems are all integrated in each unit, with security scenes designed to deter intruders with flashing lights and automated reduction of power consumption if a condo’s vacant. Look & Listen further notes that 2 x 12RU wall mounted racks contain all the necessary field cabling infrastructure and terminations from data, RF, and speaker cable. The racks also house all source equipment such as amplifiers, Foxtel boxes, Apple TVs, and so on.
