Smart Homes from scratch: Integrated domotics

Imagine that, while you are on your way home after a rainy day in the south, you use an app on your phone to turn on the heating. When you arrive, the house is pleasantly warm, the lights turn on acknowledging your car, and the front door unlocks with your fingerprint.

This is the contemporary life empowered by Domotics (Home Automation).

Retrofitting vs Integrated Planning

Many homeowners try to turn their classic homes into "smart homes" by buying standalone Wi-Fi plugs or bulbs. Not only is it a "patchwork" solution, but patches do not last smoothly.

The secret to a truly smart house is to think about the cables and network while the house is still on the architectural and electrical engineering blueprint.

The Constructive Advantage of Metalcon

Given that the Metalcon structural skeleton has defined spaces within the partitioning before installing acoustic, thermal, and drywall panels, laying out extra cabling for centralized pellet stoves, Wi-Fi thermostats, motorized blinds on large windows, and electronic locks is tremendously cheaper and faster than breaking down walls and fixing mortar/paint in a traditional masonry house.

By building a modern home today with Canadian Houses, we evaluate together what technological routines you want to implement. We prepare embedded control modules in modern style walls that enrich the interior design.

Technology reaches its peak potential when planned without exposed cables. Trust builders who view domotics not as a post-sale accessory, but as an integral part of the initial design of your new home.
