| After seeing this conference room, you’ll find an excuse to call a meeting We’d like to spotlight Wayne Sorour from SimpliMation in Johannesburg, South Africa. “It’s an office Control4 kit-out. We had the fortunate opportunity to put some Control4 gear in for World Sports Betting.” The brief was to have something new—something that makes World Sports Betting’s new headquarters stand out. Our client currently lives with Control4 in his personal home and wanted something similar for the new offices. He wanted simplicity, and we delivered on that aspect. SimpliMation’s team worked with the building project manager to design a solution that differentiates the new offices from the rest—and all of this, during the (current) 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. The automation consists of Control4 Smart Home OS 3 as the front end, as well as a main controller interface. The office has Smart Lighting control with automation of the central HVAC unit, motorized blinds, and audio and video distribution, all controlled via one-touch in-wall keypads and portable T3 Touchscreens. A WePresent meeting and conferencing solution was also included in the integration. Thanks for sharing SimpliMation!     Check out more from SimpliMation HERE. |
