As the world is returning to some semblance of normality, many people have now gone back to either schools or the office. With the power of Lightwave smart technology by your side, you can boost your whole-home security, increasing your peace of mind in the process.
By incorporating smart lighting into your next renovation, you can simultaneously control multiple lights in different rooms. This will allow you to create the illusion of home occupancy, helping to protect your home whilst you are away. There are easy to set up timer automations that will allow you to set lights in various rooms to shine at a pre-set intensity and duration. Group automations enable you to manage different Lightwave Smart Dimmers at the same time.
It is easy to control automatic doors, gates, blind openers, and lighting circuits with the touch of a button, thanks to the convenience of the Lightwave App. Install Lightwave Smart Mini Relays to motorised blinds to manage them remotely. Then you can programme your blinds to open and close at dawn and dusk to mimic occupancy, wherever you are in the world.

Lightwave Smart Sockets can act as mini fire safety officers to prevent everyday electrical appliances from becoming a potential fire risk. Any Smart Socket can be turned off instantly using the Lightwave App or voice control via your compatible smart speaker. Thanks to the invaluable locking function, you can rest easy knowing that children cannot switch on dangerous appliances without adult supervision.
