We are witnessing a rapid overlapping & merging of technologies with IT skill sets being requested & required in the many different sectors. These skill sets are now needed to truly deliver on the promise of the working Smart Home. From Internet managed Home Energy, Heating & Cooling Systems through to super smart Home appliances, fridges that double up as a family hub, Home File server providing data delivering, Backup & Web server capabilities and both wired & wireless networking to deliver whole house Entertainment Systems.
Once disparate areas of discipline, different sectors will continue to converge as ever more ICT based technologies are embedded across devices in the home and now in everything from Samsung Smart Kitchen & Living room appliances through to house-wide systems, driven by the above but also the requirement for Entertainment, CCTV, LED Lighting systems, etc.
We can all look forward to a plethora of ‘Internet of Things’ or IoT capable home devices communicating & constantly exchanging data with each other and all reporting back to a centralised management system – all of this requiring robust hardware & networking solutions very much akin to the IT requirements of the Office and Comms room!
The application of core IT plus workflow based design objectives and principles to the Smart Home enterprise ensures correct investment and we have been involved in the supply of IT enabled Home Leisure, Entertainment, AV, Gaming, Smart Home AV & Home Automation which makes for an exciting development and a number of commercial client & residential end-user projects have been undertaken successfully.
We are fans of Samsung Smart Things endeavor with their latest Samsung Fridge Freezer with new Family Hub version 3.0 boasting some very cool+ practical capabilities. This unit, their flagship SmartHome IoT Appliance is also currently on offer throughout November & December 2021 with us being able to offer up to £1000 off the standard retail price!
