Are you ready for real Christmas Magic?
Our Seasonal Smart Home Automation System has all you need for a fun, festive time!
This winter, you can turn your home into a warm, cosy, Christmassy hub for everyone – with a little help from IDES. With more guests, frosty weather and lots to keep track of, holiday hosting can get a bit hectic. And that’s where a smart home system like URC Total Control, integrated with KNX automation, steps in to make holiday life easier and even more magical!
You can add a button to your kitchen touchscreen labelled ‘It’s Christmas!’ and with a single press your house springs into action to set the perfect holiday mood. Your favourite Christmas music starts playing, your outdoor lights switch on to welcome guests, the Christmas tree lights and fairy lights around the house come on and delight the kids, plus the heating adjusts to keep every corner of the house cosy throughout the evening. You can tweak and adjust ‘Christmas Mode’ to suit your style each year, making it uniquely yours.
And it gives you more time to enjoy with the people who matter most.
A Home That Knows It’s the Holidays
With a smart automation system, you can customise settings to handle the busiest time of year with minimum effort. Festive lighting can turn your living room into a cosy gathering space with the perfect ambient lighting, and automated shades can be timed to open or close, creating the ideal setting at any time of day.
Heating in guest rooms or high-traffic areas adjusts automatically, making sure the house stays comfortable even with people coming and going around the clock.
When it’s time for the party, a single button can initiate a complete ‘Party Mode’ as well: start up a playlist, dim the lights and keep the heat in ‘comfort mode’ so everyone can feel cosy, no matter how chilly it is outside.
Holiday Mode for Peace of Mind
Not everyone stays home over the holidays, and a little extra security is always reassuring. With ‘Holiday Mode’, you can set the house to reduce energy consumption while still protecting against the winter chill.
Using frost protection settings, the heating stays low but effective, preventing pipes from freezing without wasting energy. Timed lighting and even TV or music can simulate activity in the house, helping prevent unwanted attention while you’re away. The best part? If you’re using a smart alarm system, this ‘Holiday Mode’ can activate automatically the moment you arm your security system, giving you one less thing to worry about before heading out. Visit our home security page and don’t hesitate to ask the IDES team for details.
Effortless Energy Control
We all try to be energy-conscious but over the holidays it’s easy for energy-saving routines to get interrupted. With smart automation, you can make temporary changes to adapt to the festive season while still maintaining control. Just set it back to ‘normal’ when the festive period is over and your house will resume its energy-efficient settings, ready to help you save as we enter the New Year.
The Magic of KNX and URC Total Control
With products like URC’s sleek touchscreens and voice controls paired with KNX’s extensive automation capabilities, your home will be as organised as Santa’s workshop! Whether it’s controlling lights, managing heating or syncing your favourite holiday playlist, the combined power of these systems provides you with many possibilities to design a Christmas experience you’ll love.
