Home automation holds significant benefits for farmhouses, providing convenience, efficiency, and enhanced security for both the residents and the property itself. Here's why home automation is important for farmhouses: **1. Remote Monitoring and Control:**   - Farmhouses often have large properties with multiple buildings and areas to manage. Home automation allows remote monitoring and control of various systems, such as security cameras, lighting, heating, and cooling. This is especially valuable for owners who may not be on-site all the time, enabling them to keep an eye on their property and make adjustments as needed. **2. Security and Surveillance:**   - Farmhouses can be vulnerable to theft, trespassing, and other security concerns. Home automation systems offer advanced security features, including motion-activated cameras, smart locks, and door/window sensors. Owners can receive real-time alerts and remotely monitor the property's security status, enhancing overall safety. **3. Energy Efficiency:**   - Farmhouses often have larger spaces to heat, cool, and light. Home automation allows for precise control over HVAC systems, lighting, and appliances. Smart thermostats can adjust temperature settings based on occupancy, and lights can be programmed to turn off automatically when not in use, resulting in energy savings and reduced utility bills. **4. Convenience and Lifestyle Enhancement:**   - Home automation systems can simplify daily routines by automating tasks like controlling lights, shades, and entertainment systems. This convenience is especially useful for farm owners who may have busy schedules or who want to optimize their living experience in a rural setting. **5. Property Management and Maintenance:**   - Automating certain functions, such as water heating or pool maintenance, can simplify property management tasks. Alerts can be set up to notify owners of equipment malfunctions or maintenance needs. **6. Enhanced Guest Experience:**   - For farmhouses used as vacation rentals or event venues, home automation can enhance the guest experience. Smart features like keyless entry, climate control, and entertainment systems can be tailored to create a welcoming and comfortable environment. **7. Increased Property Value:**   - Home automation can add value to the property by making it more attractive to potential buyers or renters. Smart features are often seen as desirable and modern amenities. **8. Future-Proofing:**   - Incorporating home automation into a farmhouse ensures that it remains relevant and adaptable to evolving technology trends. As the field of home automation advances, owners can easily integrate new devices and features. Overall, home automation offers farmhouse owners the convenience of remote management, improved security, energy efficiency, and enhanced quality of life, making it an important and valuable addition to rural properties.

Bluetooth NCL claims to be the only full-stack standard for wireless lighting control. Is this the 'Silver Bullet' for interoperability? What are the upsides that you have found? What doesn't seem to work as planned?

We are at the forefront for a crucial shift toward maximizing efficiency and sustainability in sports clubs. We integrate these practices into the projects we develop because it is clear that adopting certain systems is crucial not only to outperform the competition, but more importantly to inspire respect for the environment in which we live. For example, these 3 suggestions are for us the basis for optimization that can also benefit the management and development of sports clubs. This is the capacity of today, with great potential for future development, thanks to the new technologies that are being developed every day. What are your experiences and good practices for sustainability?

How are Bluetooth® NLC systems shaping the future of commercial spaces?

Delighted to be able to share our most recently approved case study covering 5 sites run by Concert Properties between September 2018 and September 2021. This includes 3 sites run in partnership with BGO. Concert piloted EndoTherm in September 2018 at their head office, 1190 Hornby. This pilot ran for 14 months showing significant savings. The pilot ended in January 2020 due to the launch of another energy saving technology. Following a pause due to COVID. A second round of pilots were run in September 2021 at 1130 W Pender and 1100 Melville in downtown Vancouver. Both projects were monitored for 2 years. In September 2022, Concert ran a third round of pilots at 1140 W Pender and One32 in Toronto. The latter did experience an increase in occupancy in the post-install period (increasing both space heating and DHW demand) causing that project to have a slightly lower saving. Overall the 5 sites had an average saving of 11.34% and the initial investment has been paid off within the pilot periods. This is a great example of organisations trying EndoTherm and seeing the benefits of product first hand. I wanted to thank Sami Obeidat and Varshini Baskar from Concert (as well as Leo Glaser) and the team at BGO and each site for their support in the project. #endotherm #energysaving #energyefficiency #sustainability
