Domia chooses e-Home AUTOMATION to launch new “Lifestyle” solutions developed in partnership with Intel® Corporation
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 10th May 2007 –
e-Home AUTOMATION is proud to announce that it has been chosen as the first company to offer a truly innovative way of smart living to home owners and developers in the United Arab Emirates. e-HomeDomia Lifestyle is a brand new home automation solution developed in partnership with Intel Corporation which allows you to cost effectively control any part of your home – whenever you want, from wherever you are! Committed to providing the most affordable and cutting-edge home automation to consumers, e-Home AUTOMATION will be launching this new solution at the Hometech Middle East show in Dubai from 13th-15th May 2007 (stand no. HT410). The company will be joined by leading European smart home developer Domia, and Intel Corporation to showcase this fully integrated digital home solution. With e-HomeDomia Lifestyle, intelligent technology for today’s living is now within reach of every homeowner. Fingertip control over lighting, climate control (HVAC), audio & video, appliances, energy management, security and surveillance is conveniently and centrally delivered to the homeowner via a variety of smart interfaces. With the significant growth in new-build property development and an ever-increasing demand for fully integrated smart home solutions, the United Arab Emirates has been chosen by Domia as a primary region for market development. "We believe that the cost of owning an e-HomeDomia Lifestyle solution is significantly less than competitor systems, largely as a result of the work we have carried out in partnership with Intel on their Quad core systems,” comments Darryl Mattocks, Managing Director of Domia Ltd. “This technology enables owners to control and automate more Lifestyle technologies on a single computer than was previously possible. This has led to a simpler and cheaper system than previously thought possible.” “In particular, CCTV management, appliance control, and voice recognition can now be handled transparently in the background, whilst still leaving sufficient processing power to enable full media experiences such as playback of high definition video and gaming,” Mattocks continues. “Without the power and energy efficiency of the Intel Quad Core CPU, these tasks would have required separate computers to process individual aspects of the lifestyle system, costing more to both the end user and the environment. We believe installers will find the system simpler to commission and families will benefit from having more control over their digital lifestyle using fewer hardware components and at a cheaper cost.” “To control your home from a central point either remotely or locally through a variety of multi-functional interfaces is now an integral part of everyday contemporary living,” comments Arch. Khalifa A. A. AlJaziri, Managing Director of e- Home AUTOMATION. “e-HomeDomia Lifestyle is superior to other smart home products currently on the market as it provides a greater range of user interfaces than competitors such as Vista’s Media Center GUI, mobile phone and web interfaces.” “The beauty of our system is that it is designed in a form that has more modules at a wider variety of price points,” continues AlJaziri, “this means that you can customize and grow an entire solution in stages. The latest version of the Domia Harmony software is also extremely flexible, allowing you to use any equipment, in any system, from any supplier – seamlessly.” “e-HomeDomia Lifestyle is an exciting leap forward for the smart home market,” enthuses AlJaziri. “It enables you to take full control of your home from anywhere in the world – switch off your lights via the Internet from your desk at work, even monitor your home from your favorite spot on the beach via your mobile phone, the possibilities are endless! Furthermore, this sophisticated technology is incredibly responsive. For example, if you use your mobile phone to switch on your cooling, all other interfaces such as the touchscreens in the home are automatically updated to show the true status of your home at anytime.” About e-Home AUTOMATION: e-Home AUTOMATION is the leading supplier and installer of integrated smart home solutions to the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf region and beyond. The company integrates a vast array of smart applications such as audio & video, lighting, climate control (HVAC), security and surveillance into complete and affordable digital home solutions. e-Home AUTOMATION draws on the experience and innovation of Domia Ltd, Europe’s leading developer of home automation software, hardware and lifestyle systems who works in partnership with Intel Corporation. e-Home AUTOMATION’s goal is to make home automation flexible, simple and comprehensive by offering a completely integrated lifestyle product range.
