How Commercial Automation Can Help The Hotel Industry |Intecho
The hotel industry can be one of the most demanding sectors to work in. As you are looking after hundreds of different customers’ variety of needs for there are a myriad of things that one must stay on top of when you are managing a hotel. There could be security, comfort and temperature; there might even be the restaurant, the pool and the leisure centre. It requires an overwhelming amount of attention in order to keep hotel guests happy, and it can leave hoteliers with a devastatingly busy schedule. Commercial automation has been utilised by many commercial industries facing similar challenges to this, and it can significantly improve your ability to manage a hotel.
Commercial automation is when many of the technologies around a building — such as heating, lighting, security, etc. — are connected to the internet. By doing this, it provides hotel managers with the ability to control all of these technologies through one internet-connected device like a smartphone or tablet. There is no longer the need to rush between the lobby and the restaurant, for instance, in order to adjust the temperature or the lighting so that customers are more comfortable. This can all be managed from one location by accessing these features through an app.

Managing a hotel can be a lot less stressful with commercial automation installed. Automation, such as the KNX system that is provided by Intecho, allows hotel owners to streamline many of the things they need to attend to on a daily basis. That is why commercial automation is being embraced by a number of hotels across the United Kingdom in order to reduce these challenges. Intecho has helped to introduce this technology to the likes of Motel One in Manchester and Conrad Hilton in St James in the past. However, it is not just hotel management that can benefit from this amazing technology; it is also the customers.
Many hotels are taking steps towards introducing smart technology into their rooms for guests. Guests may be provided with a tablet that gives them the power to control the lighting and heating, or contact room service and the hotel reception with just the touch of a screen. Because hotel guests want to relax and be taken care of, this kind of technology can greatly improve a customer’s experience. Instead of trying to understand the air-con in a stuffy room, scavenging through their accommodation to find a room service number or frantically trying to access check out information, this is all controllable through one simple device.

How A Smart Office Can Improve Employee Happiness | Intecho
There is a myriad of factors that contribute to a happy office. Fulfilling work, job security, staff relations and room for growth are among the many traditional things that most workplaces strive to offer their staff in order to ensure they come into work satisfied every day. However, one of the biggest contributors to workplace happiness is actually the workplace itself.
Employees spend most of their lives at the office. Many people will be at work more than they are at home with their families. This is a long time to spend in an environment that makes you feel uncomfortable, wearisome or unsafe. A workplace should be a place that inspires happiness and creativity; where employees can arrive every day and feel as comfortable as they would at home. This can be achieved by having smart technology such as Control 4 lighting. Making it better and easier for a commercial space to control how light is emitted, Control 4 lighting can make immediate improvements to employee contentment.

In most contemporary offices, workers are expected to sit at a computer for at least six hours every day. Staring at a screen for elongated periods of time will eventually take its toll on the eyes; a number of employees in the UK suffer from some form of eyestrain when they are at work. The reasons for this can vary from seat height to screen glare. However, the most common reason for it is to do with the light. An under-lit workplace, for instance, can force the eyes to work harder to concentrate on a screen — a minimum of 500 Lux is the ideal amount of brightness for workspaces with computers. It might even violate health and safety regulations.
A Control 4 smart lighting system can provide an adequate solution that ensures employees remain comfortable, concentrated and productive. You can easily influence how much light is emitted with a Control 4 smart lighting system, utilising an electronic device to ensure brightness is ample. The system can also be set up to include different brightness or dimness settings for specific areas of a workplace. This is beneficial for open-plan offices where some employees require more light for handling paper documents than those using computer screens.
On top of the health and productivity benefits of having adequate brightness, Control 4 can control mood lighting in a commercial space. Colour can have a psychological effect that improves concentration; helps achieve peacefulness; and contributes to an altogether happier workforce. A Control 4 system can help to introduce colour schemes in a work environment in order to improve staff wellbeing.

Lighting Your Home In Style With Smart Technology
A home is something to be proud of. It can be more than just four walls and a roof over your head; your home can be a place built to represent the things you love. It can be your own cinema or your own music studio; it can be your personal spa or gym.
One of the advantages of smart home technology is that it allows you to better achieve this. Smart lighting can create the ideal cinema experience when you are watching a movie, for instance, while smart audio can create the perfect ambience for relaxation and wellness.
Many people, however, like to think of their home as something different from a cinema, spa or studio. They think of it as an art gallery. Homes have always been filled with art, from expensive professional paintings to amateur family photographs. It does not only help to enhance the style of a house; art can reflect who you are as a person or a family.
Enquire about KNX & Dali Systems Here
Like the aforementioned examples, smart home technology has the ability to enhance the art is presented around the home as well. A home that has a Dali or Control 4 lighting system installed will be able to do another things to show off their collection of posters, portraits, paintings and photographs.
Smart home technology such as Control 4 lighting gives homeowners complete control over how light is projected around the house. You can control how, when and where light is used around every room of the home through one device. Furthermore, Control 4 technology is able to evolve as it learns your habits and understands your moods. It is an intelligent, responsive and unique solution to home lighting.
For homeowners looking to enhance their home’s style, Control 4 lighting is able to accentuate and dramatise certain areas of the home. You can programme it to concentrate light on various features, thereby attracting the eye to parts of a room that you wish to capture someone’s attention. In a home filled with art, this kind of lighting can be invaluable. It transforms your home into an art gallery, both giving you a home that you can proudly show off and an environment that inspires, relaxes and enthuses the homeowner.
Homeowners are not the only people who can benefit from Control 4 lighting’s ability to enhance the style of a building; this is also a useful technology for commercial industries such as hotels, restaurants, museums and various other public spaces.

Why Home Automation Can Improve Your Property Value
Home automation is a great investment for the present. However, installing home automation is more than just beneficial to you now; it can also be beneficial to you in the future. Home automation, after all, has the ability to increase your home’s curb appeal and resell value. It is an attractive feature that will make your property standout for many prospective homeowners and it will boost its value on the market considerably.
There are many things that people review when they are buying a home and one of the most important is safety. The safety of a home is one of the key factors determining its value. That’s why the neighbourhood, location and structure of a property all effect value; they are closely linked to the security of your home. When house-hunters consider your property, its security will be one of the first things they factor into their decision. Therefore, one cannot overstate the value that a home automation system can have as it provides myriad security benefits. Among them are the ability to turn on your lights when there has been a security breach on your property, connect to an audio device that plays a warning message, and enable you to lock your doors or windows remotely.
Enquire about KNX & Dali Systems Here
A study several years ago found that making energy-saving improvements has a large impact on the value of your property. In fact, you can resell your home for more than 15% of the normal amount by doing this. In certain parts of the country, the value can actually rocket by up to 30%. Therefore, a home automation system is worth investing in for this reason alone. Home automation is, of course, one of the best ways to save energy at home. By giving you greater control over the way energy is used, and with some technologies allowing your home to learn behaviour and streamline use, it can slash your household bills enormously.
And then there is the most basic reason why home automation can improve property value: it’s simply really cool. Before anything else — security, land, neighbourhood, school catchment, etc. — the style of a property is the thing that first catches a prospective homeowner’s eyes. An unattractive property will not sell no matter how many positive factors it has; an attractive one combined with positive factors will fly off the market at a good price. Given that many of the people buying homes in the next few years will be technology-minded millennials, a home automation system will be very appealing to them. It achieves the home of the future and they can experience it now — there’s no need to invest in one themselves years down the line.

How Elderly People Can Stay Safe At Home With Smart Lighting
Elderly people tend to face a very emotional dilemma at a certain age. As your legs grow weaker with age and memory gradually deteriorates — two inescapable things that occur when you grow old — you will not be able to have the same level of independence in your elderly years that you were able to enjoy previously. However, giving away your independence is a very difficult decision and many elderly people are understandably reluctant to invite carers or family members into their homes to take care of them. This generally leaves you facing a difficult choice: do you remain independent putting your personal wellbeing at risk, or do you lose your independence so that someone can look after you?
There may be a third option for elderly people who have reached this stage in their lives though, and that is the installation of smart home technology. By embracing some of the advantages that smart houses can offer, elderly men and women can make their home lives much simpler, reducing the instances in which they may put their health at risk. One aspect of smart home technology that can help, for example, is Control 4 smart lighting.
Control 4 smart lighting technology means you no longer have to manually control the lights in your home. You don’t have to get up to turn them on or off; a handheld device, the sound of your voice or the home itself can all control this technology for you. There is no longer any need to pull yourself from your chair and work your way around the house in order to turn on the lights as night draws in. Nor do you have to fumble around in the dark to get into bed once all the lights are off in the evening. These dangerous situations can be avoided with Control 4 smart lighting.
Smart lighting can be connected to the wireless internet in your home. In doing so, other internet-connected devices can communicate with the lights. For example, if you have a voice-controlled item such as Amazon Echo, you will be able to control your lighting with the sound of your voice. You can use commands such as “turn the lights on” or “turn the lights off” instead of getting up to use the switch. This can be applied to any room in the home. From your bed, you can use the voice command to turn on your lights in the bathroom, kitchen or living room. You simply need to have your Amazon Echo within hearing distance.
Similarly, smart home technology can be connected with motion sensors that mean lights can automatically turn on and off whenever your home detects that you are in a particular room. As you step from your living room into your kitchen, for instance, your home should recognise your presence and adjust the lights accordingly.
