All necessary furniture should be equipped with a “permanent label” verifying its fire resistance. We can offer a comprehensive list of items that need to comply with fire safety standards upon request.

Controller Required

To harness the full potential of this device, a Smart Home Controller is essential. This specialised hub acts as the command center for your smart ecosystem, ensuring robust, direct communication between devices without relying on the internet. This means increased reliability, enhanced security, and a faster response time.

Investing in a Smart Home Controller translates to a seamless, more efficient smart home experience. It enables advanced automation, allows for complex tasks, and provides a stable platform that future-proofs your setup. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a dedicated system designed to keep your home smart, responsive, and endlessly adaptable.

Standalone

Standalone Functionality

This device is designed to operate independently without the need for additional hardware. It offers simplicity and ease of use, perfect for immediate plug-and-play scenarios. While it can perform its primary functions on its own, integrating with a smart home controller can unlock advanced features, providing seamless interconnectivity with your other smart devices for a more holistic and automated experience.

Controller Recommended

While many of our smart devices operate independently with efficiency, incorporating a Smart Home Controller elevates your experience. It’s not just an addition; it’s a recommendation for those who aspire to a cohesive and synchronised smart home environment. The controller serves as the brain of your smart home, enabling devices to work collectively rather than just individually, thus optimising their potential.

Why a Controller?

  • Full Automation & Enhanced Functionality: While individual devices offer their unique capabilities, a controller weaves these functionalities together, creating a tapestry of smart interactions that anticipate and cater to your needs.

  • Custom Scenes & Centralised Control: Set the stage for any event or time of day with custom scenes that adjust your environment with a single command. Manage all your smart devices from one central location, making it easier than ever to oversee and control your smart home ecosystem.

Even without a controller, your devices are smart. But with it, they become a truly interconnected and intelligent system designed for an unparalleled smart living experience.

Hue Hub Needed

When using our lighting products, a dedicated Hue Hub not only ensures seamless integration and enhanced performance but also offers reliability that stands out.

  • Reliability: Even if the smart home controller has issues, your lights stay on.
  • Speed: Enjoy immediate, lag-free responses with a dedicated mesh network.
