Smart home living – the future is here
“Work smarter, not harder”, isn’t that what they say? Well, imagine a smart home that does it for you – 10 years ago this was unimaginable in reality, something for science fiction, movies, and a little scary to some.
Today more and more homes are heading in this direction with smart home automation companies constantly coming up with new concepts.
In another 10 years, could everything be completely automated and completely cordless, including our appliances, and all at a touch of your phone or voice?
Your smart home might be built with things like a universal charging station for your cellphones instead of all the cords you deal with today, or you could slide your phone over a spot in the wall to charge.
Maybe things will be bigger than that, we will have robots roaming our houses and all the thinking for home living will be done for us.
Despite all the advances so far in technology a lot of people still struggle to see things heading this way, but right now smart homes are becoming increasingly easy to have and increasingly popular, just in a less scary way.
You can put in smart home automation systems like ATA Touch which use a heat pump for more than one purpose. Because why not make it do more than one thing especially with the energy savings solution available.
Using heat pump technology provides great cost efficiencies with power usage slashed – many heat pumps give up to three or more units of energy for every unit used to run the system.

In the case of heating hot water this means a direct saving of up to 66% of power use plus with Ata Touch you can control when you heat the water for further savings in running costs.
Why stop there? Heat your spa, underfloor heating and swimming pool.
The ATA Touch system means you can also have lighting Solutions that sense your movement and turn on when you enter a room – no more having to feel around the walls in the dark.
You can schedule your smart home and make it do what you want from your phone at home or away from home. This means you can turn lights off and on for security reasons, open and close curtains/blinds, turn the heating/cooling on or off (or set a temperature level for the house to maintain), turn the spa pool on and a lot more.
Home automation companies like Ata Touch are working to find ways to help all of us make our lives easier rather than just producing elite luxury systems that are complicated and costly.
They are looking at ways to produce more energy-efficient homes, user-friendly homes, easily accessible homes and comfortable homes that intuitively work for you even before you get home from work.
An added extra is that a smart home system gives your home a point of difference when it comes time to sell which could mean more interested buyers and a better price.
While not all of us are ready for a smart home, smart homes seem to be ready for us.

Ata Touch Energy Saving Solutions
Relax in the knowledge that you’ll significantly save on your power bills as you step into the customized comfort of your Ata Touch Smart home energy saving solution.
Built by New Zealanders for New Zealanders to match New Zealand climatic conditions Ata Touch uses state-of-art technology: an energy saving solution to give you the “Holy Grail” of energy efficiency and also provides the most advanced home automation solution in New Zealand. Ata Touch has been developed by a leading New Zealand automation company (TCS NZ Ltd) which has more than 35 years of industrial control automation engineering in New Zealand’s leading industries.
With three levels of energy saving solution i.e. Air & Water: Essential, Advance and Elite, as well as the Ultimate level of automation. Ata Touch has a solution to meet all budgets.
At Air & water Essential Level, our base offering is with heating or cooling for your home as well as domestic hot water heating – all from the one heat pump with savings up to 66% on power use. When heating water the air handler manages room heating for personal comfort with heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. Schedule water heating to occur outside of room heating and you get the best of both worlds while saving money.
At Air & water Advanced Level we step things up with multi-zone (six or more zones/rooms) split-ducted climate control in your home as well as water heating for domestic hot water. Air & Water Advanced is designed to heat or cool zones efficiently by determining the desired set points for each zone and managing heating with decayed cooling or cooling with ambient heating. As zones get to temperature the dampers will start to shut down putting energy required in to zones that require it. The system is a two pipe system with a common ducted unit and will not heat and cool at the same time. it will either heat or cool. Schedule water heating to occur outside of room heating and you get the best of both worlds while saving money.
And at Air & water Elite level we provide the multi-zoned, multi-ducted, multiple water heating solution that means you can have as many zones/rooms in your home either heated during the winter or cooled in the summer as you want, along with any or all of the water heating options – domestic hot water, underfloor, spa and swimming pool. Even more power savings. Air & Water Elite is designed to heat or cool zones efficiently by determining the desired set points for each zone and managing heating with decayed cooling or cooling with ambient heating. As zones get to temperature the dampers will start to shut down putting energy required in to zones that require it. The system is a two pipe system with multiple common ducted unit and will not heat and cool at the same time. It will either heat or cool. Schedule water heating to occur outside of room heating and you get the best of both worlds while saving money.
Finally with the Ultimate level of automation we add the options of the first three Air & Water solutions with smoke and intruder alarms, as well as controls for blinds, curtains, windows, garage doors, gas fires and much more.
Power savings, intuitive home automation and a lifestyle others will envy. Ata Touch also brings with it sophisticated LED lighting solutions with ultra-thin extra low voltage safe lighting that does impinge on your insulation barrier as it surface mounted and only 8mm thick. It uses space-age technology to spread the light wider (170 degrees) and reduces any heat generated which in turn makes the light last longer and use less energy. Fulfilling your feature lighting needs is also something Ata Touch does with a range of bulbs and other light options from tread/pathway lighting to strip lighting.
All this comes at a touch of three other Ata Touch developments – · the Touch Screen that is the brain, the system with multi-faceted control of all Ata Touch functions including scheduling and monitoring, The Touch Switch to turn lights and other devices off and on, dim lights and more, Ata Touch Mobile app to mirror the controls of the Touch Screen on your smartphone from anywhere. Ata Touch is designed to be fully expandable and scalable so you can easily add devices and functions to the system.
