In today’s busy world, a home that simplifies and enhances daily life sounds like a great idea. For Master Electrician and mother-of-four, Sarah Loveday, it was a must-have.
“I wanted our house to be really user-friendly and operate around my family’s lifestyle,” explains Sarah, who is a third generation electrician and the managing director of family business Loveday Electrical. With three teenagers and a toddler under one roof, her modern home in Queensland’s North Lakes shows how thoughtful electric home design can create a space that’s both family-friendly and a sanctuary for relaxation.
Life in a smart home
The light and airy home has six bedrooms and features a spacious kitchen and living area that opens onto a large patio surrounded by lush tropical garden for outdoor entertaining.
To achieve a home that would respond to her family’s needs, Sarah chose a Clipsal Wiser Smart Home system that links to the stylish Iconic Essence switches and power points throughout the house.
Using the Wiser by SE app on her phone, she can easily monitor and control everything; from indoor and outdoor lighting to individual switches, the temperature, sensors and cameras – whether she’s at home or anywhere else in the world.
A home that grows with you
Sarah says the Clipsal Wiser Smart Home system is a cost-effective, energy-efficient and flexible option for all she wanted to achieve. “For me, it was about getting some of the integration you get from much higher-end, very expensive systems on a smaller scale in my home.”
The Wiser Smart Home system runs on standard cabling, so can be used in new home builds or renovations without needing complex wiring. “A lot of home automation systems are hard-wired into the walls and floors, meaning you have to choose everything you want before you finish the build."
"With four growing kids, it was important to have a system that could be scaled up as our family’s needs changed.”
