Gemmill Homes selling houses with smart technology included

If you live in Western Australia, then you may want to choose your home builder very carefully. While on the surface it may seem like they all offer the same outcome, but in an ultra-competitive space, companies are turning to technology to differentiate.

Gemmill Homes has partnered with Perth based iZone, to provide new home builders with home automation that enables you to control your air conditioning, lighting, irrigation, power, entertainment and security systems. The ability to control your home from your smart device is certainly an appealing prospect and will certainly make your guests incredibly jealous.

iZone also supports IFTTT which enables you to connect with other home automation services, this means your home’s smartness is really limited by your imagination. You can turn on an appliance like the kettle, dim the lights, or even water the garden. Or you can even set a schedule, so you don’t have to do anything at all. The iZone system will do all the work.

Residential building expert and Managing Director of Gemmill Homes, Craig Gemmill says the iZone technology is a must have for anyone looking at designing their new home.

Gemmill said,

The iZone system is easy to use and incredibly efficient.

It allows you to manage your energy use, so you will save money on your electricity bill, and also allows you to help the environment in the process.

The new technology uses the same CAN Bus protocols that Mercedes and BMW incorporate into their luxury cars. The Wi-Fi and 4G enabled iZone App enables you to control everything in your home via your smart phone or tablet.

The iZone’s web service works from anywhere in the world, so you can control your smart home over 4G, great if you’re ever concerned you’ve left a device on wasting power. iZone is an Australian company and their understanding of Australia’s unique climate, has been used in the development on the smart technology. Users can create up to nine ‘favourite’ zone scenarios to suit their lifestyle, then schedule these ‘favourites’ to match everyday living.

Director of iZone, Mike Temple, said the business is about making things work better and helping Australians overcome the huge costs associated with their electricity usage.

We’re really big into energy efficiency. If you add temperature control to house and air conditioning, you lower the running costs of the air conditioning, and if you add LED lighting control, you lower the energy consumption.
