Challenge

With the Future Homes Standard pushing renewable technologies into all new homes, housing providers face a growing complexity problem: multiple systems, apps, dials, and interfaces for homeowners to learn. Sovereign Housing, via developer Edenstone, needed a solution for 13 new properties that would simplify smart controls while still meeting all technical and efficiency requirements.

The key challenge?

Unifying the control of Samsung heat pumps, GivEnergy PV and battery systems, and Aico fire alarms into one seamless experience that was intuitive for tenants and manageable for the housing association.

Solution

Zmart Hohm designed and delivered an integrated system using Loxone to unify control of all key technologies. Samsung heat pumps, GivEnergy PV and battery storage, and Aico fire alarms, into a single, intuitive platform.

Residents can control their heating, hot water, and energy use across multiple zones, while receiving guidance to optimise efficiency and reduce bills.

The Aico fire alarm system integrates directly with the Loxone platform, enabling immediate fault notifications and enhanced safety.

Smart tariff support and energy usage optimisation help make the most of every drop of solar power, with minimal interaction required from the tenant.

Importantly, the entire system was installed by the main electrical contractor on site, without the need for specialist training or commissioning support, thanks to Zmart Hohm’s pre-configured design and documentation.

All homes were handed over with a consistent and simplified user interface. Sovereign was also offered Zmart Space remote support packs, allowing real-time diagnostics, fault alerts, and proactive maintenance across their housing stock.

Eavann Phipps, Project Manager at Sovereign Housing:<br /> <br /> “The benefits to customers living at Edens Green of the Loxone App and this unified smart system are quite substantial. It allows them to be able to control their heating and hot water remotely, setting times and temperatures for different zones in their home and advises them on how they can run their heating most efficiently. Which all contributes to improving the cost of their bills!<br /> <br /> And for SNG we have the option to monitor the whole system remotely meaning we can diagnose problems in real time, optimise heat pump efficiency and address faults promptly."<br /> <br /> -----------------------------<br /> <br /> Richard Vine, Technical Director at Edenstone Homes:<br /> <br /> "The low energy running costs are a huge factor. Providing a thermally efficient building coupled with the technology gives our client a fantastic dwelling that will serve them well for years to come. It also has the option of remotely monitoring the units for scheduled maintenance and reduce call out charges for services."<br /> <br /> -----------------------------<br /> <br /> Zach Meek, Director of Zmart Hohm:<br /> <br /> "This project is a great example of how smart controls don’t have to be complicated. By using Loxone as the brain of the home, we’ve turned multiple complex systems into one simple experience, empowering the tenant, while making long-term management easier and more cost-effective for the housing provider.”
