3 ideas to make your home cosier

​Year on year, technology continues to improve and the direct consequence of these innovations in domestic comfort is clear: more and more people love to stay at home! Do you want to improve the comfort of your home? Here are three simple ideas to change your day to day life. 

Switch to connected lighting

Good ambient lighting at home is very important. If, like 60% of French people asked, you want to improve your everyday comfort with connected lighting (Source: GFK 2018), it is probably important for you to have warm lights that you like to switch on, because it helps to create a cosy atmosphere that you never want to leave. And to control this atmosphere perfectly, connected light bulbs are proving to be very versatile. We recommend, for example, the Philips Hue range, compatible with our TaHoma solution, connected sockets or even micromodules for integrated and invisible lighting.

What's the advantage of the micromodule? This will enable you to create ambient lighting for all occasions. For example, you can create a "dinner with friends" or "cosy reading corner" atmosphere. Did you forget to turn off the light when you came in? With TaHoma, you can programme your lights to come on automatically when you get home and switch off when you leave. Magic!

Adopt connected heating

When we ask the people who want to buy connected heating why, the reasons relate to improving comfort and energy savings. Connected heating has the advantage of improving comfort by ensuring a home is always at the right temperature while avoiding waste and loss of heat. Once again, your comfort will be greatly improved: no longer having to worry about finding the right temperature at home is a luxury now available to everyone!

To take advantage of connected heating, opt for a connected thermostat or even a thermostatic head (which manages your radiators using programmed time slots for example), which enables you to control the temperature of your hot water radiators with your TaHoma mobile app. With these devices and an ideal temperature throughout the year, especially in winter, you won't leave home! Especially as regulating and programming your heating reduces your bill by 25% (Source: ADEME).

The little extra that we recommend: combine connected heating with roller shutters. Guaranteed comfort! You will be able to get all motorised and connected devices in your home to interact with each other - sun sensors, shutters, thermostats, thermostatic heads - for even more efficiency and comfort.

With programming, it is very easy to create scenarios throughout the seasons suited to your preferences and your lifestyle, and make big savings!

"In winter, roller shutters open to take advantage of the free heat of the sun, and each room is regulated based on its use. All, without exceeding the temperature displayed by my connected Thermostat." 

Say hello to the voice assistants

You're at home, it's warm, and the lighting is almost perfect, but one thing is bothering you and the remote control is too far away. No need to get up! With voice control of your devices enabled thanks to TaHoma, just tell your voice assistant to change the lighting and it's done!

Are you going to bed? Activate your "Good night" TaHoma scenario by voice: all the shutters in your home close, the alarm goes into night mode and the lights go off. It's convenient. You won't have to go round your home any more, and you will blissfully fall asleep!

Our TaHoma home automation system is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa.. No matter who you talk to, comfort is now at hand!

As we have seen, domestic comfort has many facets and it is essential to think of your home as a connected whole to enjoy it to the fullest. Check that the heating is not too high when you're not there, activate scenarios to make your life easier, lock your doors remotely, etc. All the options offered by TaHoma help you day to day to be more comfortable, but also save money.
