‘Smarter’ homes are on the way

The service links the digitally networked homes to the internet, enabling homeowners to monitor and control domestic systems from anywhere in the world.
The technology is linked to sensors connected to Scantronic alarm panels in each of the properties. Any alarm activity will trigger the Home Manager to relay warnings to the homeowner or other contacts via text messages, phone and email.
Additionally, low-cost sensors can also be linked to warn of flooding, gas, power failure, freezing pipes and more. Working parents can also set the system to send them text messages when the kids get back from school. It is claimed the package provides an ‘electronic neighbourhood watch’ for residents.
