In our latest project in Hitchin, we partnered with Lewcon Audio Visual to provide our client with multi-room audio and a smart lighting system, transforming their property into a SMART home.
As smart homes gain popularity, the benefits of managing your home from your mobile device are becoming increasingly evident, and that is why partnering up with Lewcon AV will transform your house into a more efficient and environmentally friendly space.
In recent years, the way we consume music has undergone significant changes, reshaping the market landscape. There are so many streaming services available and they have provided us with access to an extensive catalogue of both contemporary hits and timeless classics. This trend points to a growing importance placed on audio experiences within the home.
Experience the latest in smart technology and bring your home to life. Whether you’re interested in upgrading your home audio system or investing in smart thermostats, the team at Lewcon AV is ready to create the perfect smart home solution for you.
What is a Smart Home?
The question is what is a smart home? A smart home consists of a variety of interconnected devices and systems that can be controlled remotely and automated to enhance convenience, comfort, security, and energy efficiency. These devices, often referred to as smart devices, can communicate with each other and be managed through a central hub or smartphone app.
A smart home creates a more connected, efficient and enjoyable living environment for homeowners.
The benefits include:
- Convenience – Remote control and automation of various home devices make everyday tasks more convenient and efficient.
- Comfort – Automated climate control, lighting and entertainment systems can enhance comfort and ambience.
- Security – Smart security cameras, door locks, and sensors provide enhanced home security, with the ability to monitor and control access remotely.
- Energy Efficiency – Smart thermostats, lighting and appliances can help optimise energy usage, leading to cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
- Peace of Mind – Remote monitoring and alerts allow homeowners to stay connected and informed about their home’s status and security, providing peace of mind, especially when away from home.

Working together in Hitchin
Here is our latest project situated in Hitchin where we are proud to show our Lay-On Shaker through the kitchen, utility/boot room and bedroom all with smart home technology.
One of the features includes a Rako Smart lighting system, creating a sophisticated and user-friendly experience for this private development. There are different finishes of keypads you can choose from – Matt Black, Satin Chrome or Matt Bronze which all help to match the interior (in this project our client opted for Satin Chrome).
The seamless integration works perfectly to create a luxury experience. Lewcon also installed Multi-room audio throughout the home which allows the clients to stream music services such as Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal. Multi-room audio gives clients the ability to listen to all these services and more, in one or multiple rooms within their home allowing different genres to be played simultaneously and harmoniously.

Rako Smart Lighting controls and systems offer simplicity, creativity, easy installation and cost-effectiveness. They are at the forefront of digital dimming technology, offering innovative solutions tailored to diverse applications.
