Technology that works together. Designed around you.
FLASH Smart System brings your home's or business's technology together into one intelligent, easy-to-use system. Control, monitor and automate lighting, security, cameras, climate, audio, video, access, energy and more through a unified experience.
Designed around the way you live or work, FLASH allows compatible technologies from different manufacturers to work together—reducing the need for separate apps, remotes and control systems.
Why FLASH™
🖥️Local Control & Automation
FLASH is designed to operate locally within your home or business, allowing compatible devices and automations to communicate and respond without depending on a cloud service for everyday operation. This can provide fast response times, greater control over your technology and continued operation of many automations even when the internet connection is unavailable.

Local Intelligence. Your System. Your Control.
FLASH is designed with local control at its core.
Your home or business should not have to depend entirely on a remote cloud service to turn on a light, run an automation or respond to a sensor.
FLASH keeps compatible control and automation functions running locally at the property whenever the technology supports it. This means many everyday functions can continue operating even if your internet connection goes down.
Privacy by Design
Your technology should work for you—not create another source of data collection.
FLASH is designed with privacy in mind, prioritizing local processing and control whenever the technology supports it. By reducing unnecessary dependence on cloud services, compatible devices and automations can perform many functions within your property rather than sending every interaction to a remote service.
You remain in control of your system, your technology and how your information is handled.
Why Local Control Matters
- Fast Response
Local communication can provide quick responses between devices and automations. - Reliable Automation
Important routines can continue operating locally without relying on a constant connection to a remote service, where supported. - Greater Privacy
Your technology can be designed so that everyday control and automation do not need to send every interaction to a third-party cloud service. - Less Dependence on the Cloud
Your system isn't built around the assumption that every command must travel to an external server. - Remote Access When You Want It
Local control doesn't mean giving up remote access. When configured for remote connectivity, you can still monitor and control your system when you're away. - Built for Your Property
FLASH is designed around your home or business, your technology and the way you want your systems to operate.
More Than Smart. Truly Integrated.
A smart device can be useful on its own. FLASH is designed to make your technology work together.
Instead of managing separate apps, systems and remotes, FLASH brings compatible technology together into one coordinated experience. Lighting, security, cameras, climate, audio, video, access control and other systems can respond to each other and to the way you use your home or business.
