Management Tools for Sustainable Profitablity

Holidays are those precious few days when people want to spoil themselves, luxury being at the top of their priorities and conservation at the bottom. So anything that can maximize comfort and reduce waste becomes priceless. 

Enjoying a holiday begins with finding your precious property in good order after a long period of being locked down, a difficult and often expensive  task in the best of cases, but one that can become significantly easier with sophisticated automations.

Essential Automations
for Holiday Homes

ENERGY
Saving

It's no secret that when on holiday, economy and environmental conservation is not exactly high on anyone's list of priorities, especially when a property is rented. 

Usually the greatest loss of energy comes from heating/cooling systems left running at full power all day long, resulting in some enormous energy bills, quite unnecessarily.

With some clever logic individually regulating the temperature in every room depending on the time of day, if there are people or empty for, if door and windows are open and outdoor weather conditions, a very pleasant climate is maintained throughout the building, while significantly reducing waste.



Sometimes less, is more.  

WATER
Conservation

Gardens are the pride and joy of all holiday properties, but they do require a lot of care and attention, watering, being the most labour intensive and intrusive task that needs to be done almost daily.

Simple timer based watering system can manage small gardens with resilient plants because they simply don't know when and how much water a plant needs. For some plants too much water can be worst than not enough, so being generous with watering times is not always a choice. Even when it is, its an expensive one.

An intelligent watering system is aware of soil moisture & temperature, air humidity & temperature, wind strength & direction and sunlight exposure, even the day of the year. Each part of the garden, each plant, each tree can receive the correct amount of water, at the correct time of the day, when the conditions are just right.


Even the most passionate of gardeners cannot manage such sophisticated watering.   

In a world infest with cameras, relaxing without being watched and recorded, while retain a high level of security, is nothing short of a luxury. The fact is cameras are not very good at detecting intrusions, presence detectors using radar technology are far superior, combined with noise, vibration, heat, door and window sensors a very comprehensive detection network can be created, with absolutely no privacy invasion.

SECURITY and
PRIVACY

When a property is unoccupied, having the ability to control just about every electrical appliance makes simulating the presence of people both and easy realistic. 

When the fun is over, holiday homes have to endure long periods of lockdown loneliness, which can be some of the toughest times for any property to endure.

Of the many hazards that can plague a closed property, humidity and stale air often cause the most damage, as they are the source of mould, fungi, yellowing linen and foul odors.

Periodic airing may appear as the obvious solution to this seemingly simple problem, but closer investigation reveals some unexpected complexities. Cost and availability aside, a person opening the house on a regular basis makes some dangerous assumptions.

Are the weather conditions suitable for airing a house? is the house aired long enough? Is mould developing in hard to see areas ? Issues which can be constantly monitored and taken care of when and for as long as needed.

WINTER
MAINTENANCE

In addition air quality control, monitoring water leaks, power cuts, window breakages, gas leaks and more can all be monitored 24/7 raising alarms when something is not right.

Matching capabilities for which computers can do effortlessly, with tasks that only humans can do, the best of both worlds can be achieved.
