Home Automation

Home automation or smart home technology can mean different things to different people, from simple multi-room audio and TV distribution to a whole house automation package controlling home cinema, audio and TV recording and distribution, lighting, heating, security, telephony, etc.

Dianemo offers a comprehensive, flexible and affordable home automation system that can deliver a whole house solution if that's what you want, or if you are looking for a budget priced solution to simply just control your lighting, TV or security, Dianemo can do that too. The beauty is if you want to expand your system at any time in the future it's easy to do.

The Dianemo 'nerve centre' comes with an impressive package of features as standard, you just have to choose what automated living means for you. There's a home automation system to suit your budget and your family's needs. Since the standard package can deliver a wide range of functionality, when it's time to extend the system all we have to do is some remote reconfiguration and attach any new hardware. There may not even be any need for further wiring. You can add new functions or just increase the number of rooms or zones covered by the existing system, or you could do both! Dianemo is delivered to each zone through a 'media manager' which can be either located centrally or locally in the zone it is supporting. Centrally located devices would normally be rack mounted along with the 'nerve centre'. However a popular alternative is for a smaller but equally powerful unit to simply be attached to the back of a TV or other discreet location.

Unlike many of the more traditional products Dianemo doesn't have to be built into the fabric of your home, so it's ideal for retrofitting as a home improvement. It's simplicity and flexibility also means it's the recommended home automation system for self-build and property developers.

Dianemo really sets the new standard for automated living.

The Dianemo 'nerve centre' puts you in control of lighting, heating, air conditioning, window blinds, shutters and gates as well as all aspects of home entertainment such as home cinemas, TVs and audio/visual distribution, recording and playback. Dianemo can even control Sky and Virgin Media around your home within the contractual requirements of the providers, so you may not need a proliferation of Sky boxes.

The robust Linux based software is already compatible with many industry standard protocols and can be extended to cater for any specific needs. KNX and Z-wave control is provided as part of the standard system.

A Dianemo home automation system puts you in control of your home from wherever you have access to the Internet. It also give you access to the internet wherever you have Dianemo!

Dianemo allows you customise your system to complement your family's lifestyle, and to make changes as your needs change. For example you may want to apply or remove parental controls or create or change scenarios around lighting or security applications.

So, Dianemo really can deliver a home automation system that can do what you want it to do now and be capable of meeting your changing needs in the future. What's more, if you decide to move you can take your system with you.
