Home automation has evolved from being a big-ticket item that only the wealthy could afford to become an essential tool in many family homes. These days, there is barely any part of everyday life that has not been automated or streamlined somehow.
The key to any kind of smart home system is finding one that offers the features you need, along with ease of use. There is no point in having all the bells and whistles if nobody knows how to use them!
MyPlace Home Automation by Advantage Air
The past few seasons of Channel 9’s popular renovation show, The Block, has seen a unique home automation system showcased again and again. As it happens, this is also the system that Power Trip Services exclusively offers to our customers. With an endorsement like The Block paving the way, we know we are offering a premium product to our clients.
Let’s introduce you to MyPlace by Advantage Air – the best home automation system in Australia.
Easy To Use and Australian Made
The MyPlace website proudly boasts how simple and easy to use the system is, and we agree. Via your smartphone, you have complete control over your garage door, security and lights, your air conditioning, and even features of your home such as motorised blinds, electric skylights and gates and more.
MyPlace also works with your existing home wiring, so it doesn’t require expensive and complicated installation.
Advantage Air, the manufacturers of the MyPlace system, is 100% Australian owned. The entire system is designed and made in Australia, and this means they are just a phone call away whenever you need them.
The Benefits of Home Automation
You may ask yourself, “why do I need to automate my home?” There are many benefits to owning a smart home, and here are just a few:
- Energy efficiency (no more forgotten air conditioners running all day while you’re at work!)
- Security (automated lighting is a great tool for deterring intruders, and never forget to close the garage door again)
- Safety (instantly illuminate your entire home when you come home late at night)
- Comfort (come home to a perfectly cooled home amid summer and a toasty home during the chill of winter)
- Adds value to your home
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it shows that home automation serves a very practical purpose and is more than just a luxury.
MyLights
Smart lighting provides a convenient way to reduce your energy bills, increase your security and safety, and provide mood lighting and ambience to your home.
The MyPlace MyLights system is loaded with features to make your life easier and turn your home into a sanctuary.
By utilising the control and energy-saving features of a fully automated LED lighting system, MyLights is one of the most intuitive smart lighting systems available today.
Why is MyLights different?
With so many home automation systems on the market and big names like Alexa and Siri to contend with, it can be a worrying task to ensure you make the right choice.
MyLights is one component of the base MyPlace home automation system. The other components include MyAir and add on modules such as MyGarage, which attach to your foundation kit.
MyLights can offer you control of as little as one light in your home when adding to your existing MyAir installation and 8” Android wall-mounted touch screen.
With the MyLights system, you can:
- Dim your lights to create an atmosphere in your home
- Setup zones and groups of lighting in your home
- Control your lights from your phone or tablet
- Save energy by enabling the MyEco feature
- Set up schedules and security lighting with features such as MyTime, MyWelcome and MyGoodbye
- Enhance the look of your home with a variety of fittings and finishes
- Control your lighting from the same app that controls all of your home automation.
