Automated Living

This property is a modern, luxury home in Dorset. The Client required control technology of a standard that matched the design standards of the rest of the house. RIB worked in close liaison with the Client to identify their requirements and selected every component with careful consideration of those requirements. The result is the creation of a house which is not overrun by technology, however, which works to deliver a home that meets the specific needs of this Client.

Working with Edwards Electrical, RIB took each lighting circuit back to a central point, allowing every light to be controlled by a Vantage Lighting System – which provided the keypads in each room. This allowed the Client to create combinations of lighting Moods in every room and save these via an iPhone App; allowing these programmed scenes to be recalled via the keypad in the room. This is a feature that is not available on most other systems. Each room as also been fitted with electric blinds also controlled via the keypad.

RIB worked closely with the Client to aid the creation of scenes that matched their specific needs. As the controller contains an astronomical clock it means it can add control via what the current time is. For example, all outside lights get turned on an hour before dusk only to turn most of them off later in the evening; only leaving key lights on until dawn.
