Would you want the convenience and security of an integrated smart home?

Frustrated with disparate alarm system, cctv, home audio and visual, lighting, and appliance automation – each with it’s own separate, clunky, phone app?

You wouldn’t imagine all these systems living in the same house – since they never talk to one another.

Then you need to engage Gensix Technology for your home security and automation.

We have been working hard at putting together one cohesive system. A system that works off a single app for every aspect of your home.

Your security system, cctv, door locks, whole home audio and video, home networks, blinds and curtain automation, lighting and more – all operated from a single app on your phone.

The whole home can also be operated from smart panels located about the house, and integrate with the common home assistants like alexa, and others.

The good news is that this is all modular. We can retrofit systems to your home in modules – so you don’t have a huge capital expenditure on everything at once.

You could start off with the whole home audio, add in security system and cctv, then add your lighting – all at your own pace.

So Let’s Get Started

Pre-wire

Our teams really like to lay the foundation in the construction or major renovation stages.

Pre-wiring your home for smartification, will realize major savings, but as mentioned previously – retrofitting to your existing home is also common.

It’s true that the smart home is all about wireless and zigbee – but good old cable remains the best and most reliable transmission method for modern day data, 4K and 8K video, and audio and of course, electrical.

Electrical

The electrical system is the core of the smart home. We will be deploying wifi enabled smart circuit breakers for power distribution.

After profiling the power distribution needs of each room, we will install smart power outlets, with usb charging facilities.

Network

A good whole home area network (HAN) is essential to the proper functioning of your smart home.

We will design a robust wired network, deploying high grade category 6 cable or fiber optic distribution within the home.

Depending on the size of the home, we will build a WiFi mesh network on top of the HAN for proper mansions, for example.

You don’t want to overload the network – for this we create zigbee or Bluetooth connectivity to operate lighting, and other appliances. These alternative networks limit strain on the WiFi network.

Lighting

Once again, we assess the lifestyle requirements for each room to determine the requirements for smart lighting switches, dimmers and scene changes. Then comes the fitting and wiring of the switches and light fittings.

Whole Home Media and Entertainment

An entertainment lifestyle assessment identifies entertainment areas and sources of video and audio.

Flowing from the assessment, is the video, data and audio prewire – media and data distribution wall plates are installed to suit the demands of each room or area, along with the installation and wiring of wall or ceiling mounted speakers, projectors and screens.

Control Panels

We identify practical and convenient locations about the home for control panels and install the backing plates and wiring

Security System, Fire detection and CCTV

The security system is an integral part of the smart home – it’s not a seperate panel made by a third party – the system works seamlessly with the rest of your home, and your cctv system.

Identifying the location of sensors, cameras and contacts – we can prewire these locations at this stage.

Now the core of your smart home is in place. You can add whatever features you desire.

• Automated pet access doors,
• Pet  Feeders,
• Automated blinds or curtains,
• Thermostats,
• Automated Airconditioner control,
• Robotic vacuum cleaners or window washers,
• Smart toilets

the list goes endlessly on – and everything works on the same app.

Ultimately, you get to enjoy convenience, safety and security and save money with managed energy consumption – doing your bit for the environment.
