SMART HOME AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS BY FERAD
FLASH™ Smart Home
Intelligent Technology. Designed Around the Way You Live.
Your home has more technology than ever, from lighting and climate control to security, cameras, entertainment, networking and access control. When these systems operate independently, managing them can become complicated.
FLASH™ Smart Home brings compatible technologies together into one intelligent, integrated home automation system designed around your home, your routines and your preferences.
Instead of juggling separate controls and applications, you can have your home technology work together through centralized control, intelligent automation and professionally programmed routines.
Designed, integrated, programmed, installed and supported by FERAD Electronics Inc., FLASH makes your home technology easier to use while creating opportunities for greater convenience, comfort and control.
Smart Home Automation That Works Together
A smart home should be more than a collection of connected devices. The real benefit comes when compatible technologies work together to respond to your needs.
FLASH Smart Home allows FERAD to coordinate lighting, security, climate control, cameras, entertainment and other compatible systems through programmed scenes, schedules, sensors and automation.
Whether you want to automate a single room or integrate technology throughout your entire home, FERAD can design a solution around your requirements today while allowing for future expansion.
Lighting
Control and automate interior, exterior and decorative lighting throughout your home.
Create lighting scenes for everyday living, entertaining, relaxing, arriving home or going to bed. Compatible lighting can respond automatically to schedules, occupancy, motion and other system events.
Climate Control
Integrate compatible heating and cooling systems into your smart home automation environment.
Adjust temperatures, establish schedules and coordinate climate control with occupancy, time of day and other conditions to improve comfort and help manage energy use.
Security and Alarm Systems
Integrate compatible security and alarm systems into your FLASH Smart Home environment.
FERAD can connect compatible alarm panels, security sensors and other security technologies with your home automation system. Depending on the equipment and integration available, your system can trigger notifications, coordinate lighting and other connected devices, and respond automatically to selected security events.
FLASH can work with compatible security systems from multiple manufacturers, helping bring security and home automation together in one integrated solution.
Surveillance Cameras and Video Monitoring
Integrate compatible surveillance cameras and video systems into your smart home environment.
Depending on the equipment and integration available, you can view cameras, receive notifications and trigger automation in response to supported motion, occupancy and security events.
Automated Blinds & Window Coverings

Coordinate window coverings with lighting and climate control to improve convenience, manage natural light and help regulate heat entering your home.
Home Audio, Video and Entertainment
Bring compatible entertainment equipment into your integrated home control system.
FLASH can coordinate supported televisions, whole-home audio, home theatre equipment and other entertainment technologies for convenient control of your listening and viewing environments.
Smart Locks, Garage Doors and Access
Integrate compatible smart locks, garage doors, gates and other access technologies.
Create convenient routines for arriving home, leaving the house or responding to selected events, subject to the capabilities and security requirements of your installed equipment.
Sensors & Automation
Sensors provide information that allows your home to respond to changing conditions.
Compatible motion, occupancy, temperature and environmental sensors can trigger programmed actions, notifications and automation routines throughout your home.
Personalized Smart Home Scenes and Automation
The value of smart home automation is not simply controlling individual devices. It is coordinating multiple systems so that your home responds to the way you live.
FERAD can program FLASH to bring compatible technologies together into practical, personalized routines.
Arrive Home
Your home can respond to your arrival by adjusting selected lighting, climate settings and other compatible systems according to your preferences.
Good Night
A single command or programmed routine can turn off selected lights, adjust the thermostat, secure compatible entry points and set your alarm system according to your requirements.
Movie Night
Create a personalized entertainment scene that adjusts compatible lighting, audio/video equipment and window coverings for a more convenient viewing experience.
Away From Home
When your home is unoccupied, programmed routines can adjust climate settings, control selected lighting, activate supported security functions and provide notifications.
Morning Routine
Start your day with programmed lighting, climate settings and compatible blinds or shades responding to your schedule.
These are examples of what an integrated system can accomplish. FERAD programs your FLASH Smart Home around your property, installed equipment and personal preferences.
Control Your Smart Home Your Way
FLASH provides flexible control options based on the technologies installed in your home.
Depending on your system configuration, control options can include:
- Wall-mounted controls and keypads.
- Touchscreens.
- Smartphones and tablets.
- Computers.
- Compatible voice control technologies.
- Automated scenes and routines.
- Time-based schedules.
- Sensors and occupancy detection.
- Event-based automation.
- Remote access where enabled and appropriately configured.
Your system can be configured to provide convenient control while allowing supported functions to operate automatically in the background.
FERAD will help determine which control methods and integrations best suit your home and the equipment you choose.
Local Smart Home Control and Privacy
Your smart home should work for you without depending unnecessarily on external services.
Where supported by the equipment and system architecture, FLASH is designed to provide local control and operation, reducing dependence on cloud services for supported functions.
Depending on your configuration, local operation can offer advantages such as:
- Responsive control of compatible devices.
- Reduced dependence on external cloud services.
- Continued local operation of supported functions during internet interruptions.
- Greater control over how your home technology is configured.
- Integration of compatible technologies without requiring every device to use the same manufacturer's ecosystem.
Some features, remote access functions, voice services and third-party integrations may still require an internet connection or external service.
FERAD will explain which functions operate locally, which require external services and how your particular system is configured.
Smart Home Integration Across Multiple Manufacturers
You do not necessarily need to replace all your existing technology to create a smarter home.
FLASH is designed around integration, compatibility and flexibility. FERAD can work with supported products from multiple manufacturers and incorporate existing equipment where practical.
Depending on your requirements and equipment compatibility, a FLASH Smart Home can integrate:
- Smart lighting and lighting controls.
- Security systems and alarms.
- Surveillance cameras and video doorbells.
- Smart locks and access control.
- Garage doors and gates.
- Automated blinds and shades.
- Heating, cooling and climate controls.
- Whole-home audio and home theatre.
- Televisions and other entertainment equipment.
- Home networking and connected devices.
- Motion, occupancy and environmental sensors.
- Compatible energy monitoring and management technologies.
- Other supported smart home devices.
Compatibility varies by manufacturer, product model, firmware and available integration methods.
This flexible approach allows FERAD to develop a system around your home rather than requiring you to commit to one manufacturer's complete product ecosystem.
Expandable Smart Home Systems for New and Existing Homes
Your technology needs may change as your household, property and preferences evolve.
You might begin with automated lighting and security, then add climate control, cameras, entertainment, window coverings or additional automation later.
FLASH is designed to accommodate staged implementation and future expansion where supported by the system architecture and equipment selected.
FERAD can help plan your smart home around your current priorities, available budget and longer-term goals.
Our approach can suit:
