SMART HOME AUTOMATION BY FERAD
FLASH Smart Home
Intelligent Technology. Designed Around the Way You Live.
Your home has more technology than ever — lighting, climate control, security, cameras, entertainment, networking, access control and more.
FLASH™ Smart Home brings compatible technologies together into one intelligent, integrated system designed around your home, your routines and the way you live.
Instead of managing separate systems and applications, FLASH allows your home technology to work together through centralized control and intelligent automation.
Designed, integrated, programmed and supported by FERAD Electronics Inc.
A Smarter Home Starts with Integration
A smart home should be more than a collection of connected devices.
FLASH is designed to coordinate the technology throughout your home so that systems can respond to schedules, sensors, events, conditions and your preferences.
From a single room to a complete whole-home installation, FERAD can design a FLASH solution around what you need today while allowing your system to expand as your needs change.
Lighting
Control and automate interior, exterior and decorative lighting.
Create scenes for everyday living, entertaining, relaxing, arriving home or going to bed. Lighting can respond to schedules, occupancy, motion and other system events.
Climate Control
Connect compatible heating and cooling systems to your automation environment.
Adjust temperatures, create schedules and coordinate climate control with occupancy, time of day and other conditions to improve comfort and help manage energy use.
Security & Alarms
Bring compatible security systems and automation together.
FLASH can integrate with compatible alarm systems, sensors and other security technologies to provide automation responses and notifications based on events.
FERAD can integrate technologies including DSC, Paradox and other compatible security platforms.
Video Surveillance
Integrate compatible cameras and surveillance systems into your smart home environment.
View cameras, respond to events and create automation actions based on supported motion, occupancy and security events.
Automated Blinds & Window Coverings
Automate compatible blinds, shades and window coverings according to schedules, scenes, sunlight conditions or other system events.
Improve privacy and convenience while helping manage natural light and heat.
Audio, Video & Entertainment
Bring your entertainment technology into the same control environment.
FLASH can integrate compatible televisions, audio systems, whole-home audio, home theatre equipment and other entertainment technologies for convenient centralized control.
Access & Entry
Integrate compatible locks, garage doors, gates and other access technologies.
Create convenient automation for arriving home, leaving the house or responding to specific events.
Sensors & Automation
Sensors can provide the information FLASH needs to make your home respond intelligently.
Motion, occupancy, temperature, environmental and other compatible sensors can trigger actions, notifications and automation routines.
Your Home. Your Rules. Your Automation.
FLASH is designed around how you actually use your home.
Instead of simply controlling individual devices, FERAD can create automation that coordinates multiple systems.
For example:
Arrive Home
Your system can respond to your arrival by adjusting lighting, climate, security and other compatible systems according to your programmed preferences.
Good Night
One command or automated routine can turn off selected lights, adjust the thermostat, secure compatible entry points and set your home security system.
Movie Night
Create a scene that adjusts compatible lighting, entertainment equipment, shades and other systems for the perfect viewing environment.
Away
When the home is unoccupied, FLASH can activate selected security functions, adjust climate settings, control lighting and provide notifications based on your programmed requirements.
Morning
Start the day with programmed lighting, climate settings, blinds and other compatible systems responding automatically to your schedule.
These are examples of what can be designed. Your FLASH system is programmed around your home and your preferences.
Control Your Home Your Way
FLASH provides flexible control options based on the technologies installed in your home.
Control compatible systems through:
- Wall-mounted controls
- Touchscreens
- Smartphones and tablets
- Computers
- Voice control
- Automated scenes
- Schedules
- Sensors
- Events and conditions
- Remote access where enabled
Voice technologies and other control platforms can be integrated where compatible and appropriate for your system.
Local Control & Privacy
Your smart home should work for you — not depend entirely on a collection of cloud services.
Where supported by the equipment and system architecture, FLASH is designed to provide local control and local operation, reducing unnecessary dependence on cloud services.
This can provide important advantages for:
- Responsiveness
- Reliability
- Privacy
- Continued local operation
- Reduced dependence on external services
Remote access can also be provided where required and appropriately configured.
FERAD will explain which functions operate locally, which require external services and how the technologies in your particular system work together.
Built to Work with Your Technology
You don't necessarily have to replace everything you already own.
FLASH is designed around integration and compatibility.
FERAD can work with compatible technologies from multiple manufacturers and can integrate existing equipment where practical.
Depending on your requirements, a FLASH Smart Home can bring together:
- Lighting
- Security systems
- Alarm systems
- Cameras
- Doorbells
- Locks
- Garage doors
- Blinds and shades
- Heating and cooling
- Audio
- Video
- Home theatre
- Networking
- Sensors
- Access control
- Energy-related technologies
- Other compatible smart devices
This flexible approach allows FERAD to build a system around your home rather than forcing your home to fit one manufacturer's ecosystem.
Designed to Grow With Your Home
Your technology needs can change over time.
You may start with smart lighting and security and later add climate control, cameras, entertainment, automated blinds or additional automation.
FLASH is designed to be modular and expandable, allowing FERAD to build your system in stages when appropriate.
Whether you are building a new home, renovating an existing property or upgrading one area at a time, we can help develop an automation strategy that fits your goals and budget.
