SENTIENCE

  1. Arrive at a home that welcomes you.
  2. As the door opens, the hall is already awake.
  3. Sit as still as you like; the room stays awake with you.
  4. Dusk falls; the courtyard and pool begin to glow.
  5. Climb, and the way ahead appears; the way behind gently dims.
  6. Every space is ready the moment you are.
  7. By nightfall, the curtains are drawn and the garden goes quiet.
  8. Goodnight.
  9. Wake in the small hours, and only a faint glow lights your way.
  10. At first light, the curtains part.
  11. The water is hot before you need it.
  12. Downstairs, the kettle has warmed itself.
  13. Step out, and the house is secure.
  14. And by evening, it is waiting for you again.

Sentience does the small things in a house that you would otherwise do yourself: the gate as you arrive, the hall light as you step in, a soft glow if you wake in the night, and everything off and locked when you leave. Your switches stay where they are and work as they always have.

Your home, right now

This is what the house would be doing at this hour. Try a moment:

How it works

  1. It notices.

    Small sensors at the gate, on the doors and in the rooms sense arrivals, movement and stillness.

  2. It considers.

    A small controller in your home weighs what they sense against the hour, so the right light comes on, at the right level, at the right moment.

  3. It responds.

    The gate, the lights, the curtains, the lock, the geyser and the kettle answer quietly, so you never have to ask.

How it begins

  1. A conversation.

    Tell us about your home and how you live in it.

  2. A plan for your home.

    Sensors, light and routines, designed room by room, from the gate to the garden.

  3. A quiet installation.

    We set it up, then tune it until it feels as though it was always there.
