SUNSET HOMES LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE HOME AUTOMATION SERVICES

Sunset Homes, one of Anguilla’s premiere architecture and construction firms, continues to lead and innovate in the area of contemporary home design and building on Anguilla. The company has recently launched a full range of residential home automation technology services into its cadre of professional architecture and construction design services.

No longer considered the purview of the wealthy or the rich and famous, fully integrated automated home systems are quickly becoming mainstream in modern home design and construction. Working alongside leading international companies that specialize in the field of smart home technology, Sunset Homes designs and installs advanced electronic home systems that are at once sophisticated and easy to use. At the touch of a button, these systems will allow homeowners to control their music and entertainment, lights, temperature and security systems from anywhere in their home, or anywhere in the world.

Using state of the art technology, Sunset Homes’ residential home automation services are designed to make life more convenient, provide additional peace of mind and a multitude of entertainment options throughout the home for the entire family.

“The flexibility and convenience possibilities of home automation, shaped to each home owner’s lifestyle and taste, seem infinite” explain Ian and Janine Edwards, the dynamic husband and wife team, the Managing Principals of Sunset Homes. “The 21st century home is technologically advanced and our lives are being made simpler and more convenient by this technology. Imagine the peace of mind of viewing your home in real-time from anywhere in the world by a simple click online,” says Ian “Sugar George” Edwards.

A list of Sunset Homes new automated home systems include lighting and shading control; touch screen automation and music entertainment; home theater design and acoustic systems; and fully integrated security systems.

In practical terms, residential automation technology allows home owners to enjoy one touch convenience in day-to-day living as well as creating a number of pre-set scene and mood settings throughout the entire house or in individual rooms for special occasions. Movie night becomes a whole new experience in the automated home. Lights dim, blinds close, the screen appears and the movie starts – all at the simple touch of a button. “You are enraptured in the sounds and sights of the movie theatre in the comfort of your pajamas on your favourite leather recliner” explains Sugar George.

“People lead busy lives “ adds Janine “so if a quick touch of the “Entertain” button, just two minutes before your dinner guests arrive, can magically create the perfect ambience , that is a wonderful time saver”.

Home automation systems are also a unique way for home owners and developers to add value to and enhance their properties as global trends show that the sale of homes equipped with automated home technology is on the rise, despite the recent slump in real estate sales. They also provide a ‘fit and forget’ solution for developers as today’s home buyer is looking to add more technology and convenience to their lives. Sunset Homes home automated services make homes more desirable and attractive to potential buyers and investors.

“The security applications of the automated home provide the greatest peace of mind” says Sugar George. “You can check in on your sleeping child when you are out and you can ensure the safety of your family and home investment through fully integrated security systems that you can view on your smartphone or laptop anywhere in the world.”

And for the environmentally conscious, automated home technology offers the perfect solution to energy reduction and savings. Recent studies suggest that new technology can help consumers reduce energy use anywhere from 50% to 75% as home technology allows users to program lights and air conditioners to come on only when necessary and turn off when no longer needed.
