Imagine pressing a “welcome home” button on a remote as you pull into your driveway and having your pathway, front porch and hallways lights turn on. Your air conditioner begins to warm or cool your home, and your favourite music starts playing throughout your house.
That’s a smart home!
That’s just the beginning, imaging a “good night” button that turns everything off when you go to bed. And a “watch TV” button that turns on your home cinema, and dims your lights when you want to watch a movie.
That’s smart living!
Whether you are building or want to enhance your existing home that anyone can enjoy the benefits of a Smart Home. You can choose to start small and add to the system as your life changes.

This level of convenience is hard to imagine until you have personally experienced the benefits of this kind of ultimate lifestyle.
The greatest difficulty when choosing lighting, is making sure you choose the correct type for its purpose. With a large range of options now available to choose from, it is easy to find this decision daunting and complicated.
- General lighting is needed for general illumination.
- Task lighting is used to illuminate a certain area like Kitchen benches, Bars and desktop areas.
- Accent LED lighting creates a decorative and dramatic effect.
- Pendant or surface-mounted lights provide general lighting.
- Fluorescent lighting is best used where light is required in areas for long periods of time, as well as utility areas and the exterior of your home.
HTS advises on the best solution for all your indoor, outdoor and landscape lighting applications. We combine both functionality and style in our designs making your home come alive.

Homeowners are often on the lookout for ways to save money.
Energy bills are on the rise and with the recent attention to saving the environment, saving energy is becoming a priority. Lights that are left on unnecessarily are huge offenders when it comes to wasting electricity.
- Occupancy sensors that turn the light off when the room becomes vacant.
- Insulate by automatically opening and closing blinds/curtains reducing heat and cold transfer.
- Ensure your heating and cooling thermostats are set correctly.
- Switching off appliances instead of leaving them on stand by.
- Monitor your energy efficient practices.
- Dimmers reduce energy consumption and extend the life of the lamps.
Home Technology at your fingertips.
Home Touch System (HTS) is an affordable product that enables the home owner to shop, watch TV, check emails, view the home through security cameras, all from a central touch screen location. HTS is always connected online and can be easily accessed by any member of the family through a customised touch screen interface. The system can also be controlled from an armchair through an integrated wireless handheld PDA or mobile phone.
HTS provides users with access to automated home functions from a full-size LCD touch screen monitor, typically mounted on a wall in a central location, such as the kitchen or family room. Once installed, HTS literally becomes the central brain of your home. HTS is an internet based system, which therefore enables users to even check up on their home through camera surveillance systems, as well as control functions such as lights and alarms, while away on holidays.
HTS provides the initial entry point for the mainstream home to access the wider world of home automation, previously out of reach for all but a few. In the past, functions such as TV, email, Internet, security surveillance and telephone systems were separate appliances. HTS offers these previously discrete functions and more in one easy to operate integrated unit that can sit on the kitchen wall or the most commonly used area of the house.
In the Internet age, we’re getting used to paying bills, ordering theatre tickets, booking flights and keeping address books online. HTS enables all of this and more from a centrally located point, while watching TV and preparing dinner. You don’t need a keyboard – everything is available on a simple to use touch screen interface.
