How Home Automation is Changing the Way We Live
Smart home technology is no longer a luxury—it’s becoming a key part of modern living. From voice-controlled lighting to fully automated home cinemas, homeowners are now integrating smart systems that provide convenience, security, and energy efficiency.
At Smart-Ohm, we are at the forefront of this revolution, offering high-end smart home installations in Leeds and the surrounding areas. Through our partnership with OLB Installations, we now provide state-of-the-art home cinema systems, multi-room audio, and full Control4 smart automation—all designed to give you effortless control over your home.
Let’s explore how smart home technology is transforming the way we live and why now is the perfect time to upgrade your home.
What is a Smart Home?
A smart home uses advanced automation systems to control lighting, heating, security, entertainment, and more, all from a single interface—whether that’s a smartphone, tablet, or voice assistant.
With smart technology, you can:
- Adjust lighting and temperature automatically to match your daily routine.
- Secure your home remotely with CCTV, smart locks, and motion sensors.
- Control your entertainment systems with a single touch.
- Reduce energy bills with automated heating and lighting controls.
At Smart-Ohm, we specialise in installing and integrating smart home systems to provide a seamless, user-friendly experience.
How Smart Home Technology is Transforming Daily Life
Smart Lighting: Personalised Illumination for Every Mood
Gone are the days of basic on/off light switches. With smart lighting, you can:
- Set the perfect ambience with dimmable, colour-changing lights.
- Automate lighting schedules so lights turn on and off when needed.
- Control everything remotely via an app or voice assistant.
As a Control4 specialist, OLB Installations integrates intelligent lighting systems that adapt to your lifestyle—whether you want warm, relaxing tones in the evening or bright, focused lighting for workspaces.
Home Security: Protecting Your Property with Smart Technology
Smart security systems give you complete control and peace of mind, whether you’re at home or away.
- CCTV & Doorbell Cameras – Check live footage from your phone.
- Smart Locks & Access Control – Lock and unlock doors remotely.
- Motion Sensors & Alarms – Get instant alerts about unusual activity.
With Control4 home automation, your security system can be linked to lighting and alarms, ensuring automatic responses to potential threats.
Multi-Room Audio & Entertainment: Effortless Control Over Sound & Vision
Imagine playing different music in every room or syncing your favourite playlist throughout the house—all at the touch of a button.
With our Control4 multi-room audio solutions, we install:
- Hidden in-ceiling and in-wall speakers for seamless sound.
- Wireless and centralised AV systems to eliminate clutter.
- High-fidelity audio from leading brands like Sonos & Bowers & Wilkins.
For home cinema lovers, our partnership with OLB Installations means we can design and install bespoke home theatres, featuring:
- 4K & 8K projection systems for stunning visuals.
- Dolby Atmos surround sound for a fully immersive experience.
- Luxury reclining seating and ambient lighting for a premium cinema feel.
With Control4 automation, you can dim the lights, close the blinds, and start your favourite film—all with a single touch.
Energy Efficiency: Smart Homes That Save You Money
Smart home technology isn’t just about convenience—it’s also about reducing energy consumption.
- Smart Thermostats (e.g. Nest, Hive, Control4) – Adjusts heating based on your schedule.
- Automated Lighting – Turns off when no one is in the room.
- Smart Plugs & Energy Monitoring – Tracks power usage in real-time.
With Control4, you can set up energy-efficient routines, such as:
- Heating only occupied rooms.

- Turning off appliances when they’re not in use.
This not only helps the environment but also reduces your monthly energy bills.
