GET ALL-ROUND COMFORT WITH A SMART HOME LIVING SYSTEM

Simplified control for your heating, lighting, hot water and blinds can save energy and make life a little less complicated

Reducing the energy we consume is important for the environment and our wallets. In our homes, the largest energy consumer is the heating system, and in the 21st-century home we need more than a wall timer and thermostat.

A heating solution should offer room by room control. You should be able to set the exact temperature you want at the precise time you need it, whether you’re at home or away from it. It should be capable of working with all types of heating systems: wet or dry, radiators or underfloor (UFH), heat pumps or gas boilers. Also, for a heating system to be truly effective, it needs to be integrated with the ventilation, humidity monitoring and the hot water system. It should be more than just a smart timer – it has to be sophisticated heating control for full energy management.

The Theben LUXORLIVING system is designed as a full-home automation solution, not a collection of interoperable gadgets with multiple different apps. Luxorliving can control not only your heating, but also blinds and lighting, with flickerfree dimming regardless of your lamps. The lights can be timed on and off, or set to come on when it starts to get dark outside. Blinds and awnings can be operated according to the local weather: a fitted weather station measures the light level, wind speed and has a rain sensor.

You can even create your own scenes for the home by pre-setting lighting and heating levels. Shading can be controlled dependent upon the exact position of the sun. This prevents overheating in the summer but can be used to keep your house warm in the winter. The ventilation can be boosted when humidity or CO levels are high, and integrating the smoke and heat and carbon monoxide sensors can give you remote warnings. For extra ease of use, the system can be voice controlled via Alexa or Google Assistant.

Luxorliving also increases home security thanks to its customisable panic function. This can simulate presence in the home by operating lights and blinds, deterring uninvited guests from entering when you’re not there. With Theben Luxorliving you get far more than heating control: you get whole house automation for your comfort and peace of mind. One system, one app, simple.
