About Magenta SmartHome
Mood lighting, electrical appliances, alarm systems, heating – the Magenta SmartHome app gives you a constant overview of your home – even while you’re on the move. Start your day with your favorite music playing, the living room blinds already raised and the bathroom comfortably warm. The heat will automatically decrease after opening the window following your shower in order to conserve energy. As soon as you leave your house, the automatic alarm system will prevent any unwanted visitors. The system sends alerts directly to your smartphone. You can also automate your optimal living conditions, so they perfectly match your daily routine. Plus, you can install the Amazon Echo to use voice commands to control your home.
An overview of functionality:
• Remote control: Use a smartphone to control heating, lighting or electrical devices while you’re away or conveniently from your sofa
• Alarm system: Employ motion sensors, cameras, door and window sensors in specific rooms or throughout the entire house to monitor your home
• Cameras: Access and monitor cameras while you’re away to ensure everything back home is fine; alarm alert images are saved by Magenta SmartHome for users in the cloud
• Housesitter: This function turns on lights, music and vacuum cleaner noises while you’re away, simulating a human presence
