Property Developer - Case Study
Kidbrooke Village, Berkeley Group with E.ON Homes
In cooperation with quality British homebuilding company Berkeley, energy provider E.ON is offering new energy-saving smart technology integrated into new homes. At the flagship Kidbrooke Village development in South East London, Lightwave has been selected to provide much of this smart technology including smart dimmers and sockets. There are plans to extend the scheme to sites across the UK and Europe.
Using Lightwave devices, homeowners can create mood lighting, set timer schedules and control lights while they’re away. Smart power sockets mean appliances can also be controlled remotely. Smartphone location data is used to control heating as residents approach and leave their home; temperatures can be adjusted from anywhere using the smart scheduling app, while smart radiator thermostats mean each room can be programmed independently. With the addition of Apple HomePods and Amazon Alexa, every Lightwave device can also be voice-controlled.
The UK-based expertise and flexibility of Lightwave, as well as the adaptability of the technology, has allowed it to be configured for E.ON Home, a digital dashboard which lets customers see and manage their energy use across different smart technologies from one place. This was a major reason why Lightwave was chosen by E.ON.
