Work smarter, not harder – Make your office smart!

These days, almost everything in the office can be controlled through a smartphone app. From the door lock to the coffee machine, everything is controllable with just a few swipes on the touchscreen.

By using smart devices, you not only save time and worry less, but you also have a lot of fun using the devices in your everyday office life. In this article, we introduce some products that are used in some of our offices and make life easier for tenants:

Tado° – The smart thermostat

Tado° is a smart thermostat that connects to the internet and controls the heating system. It automatically lowers the temperature when everyone leaves the office and heats it up again just in time before the first employees arrive. Moreover, you can control the heating from anywhere with the smartphone app. Saving heating costs has never been easier!

Nuki – The smart door lock

Gone are the days of annoying and heavy keychains. The Nuki Smart Lock is attached to the existing door lock. Afterwards, you can open or lock the door with the Nuki app at the touch of a button. Additionally, the app also offers an auto-unlock function, so the lock automatically opens as you approach within a few meters. Access permissions for other employees can also be easily created and managed. For added security, the device provides an overview of who has opened and closed the door.

Philips Hue – The smart light

With Philips Hue you can control up to 50 lights in the office smartly with one app. There are various light settings tailored to whether you want to focus or recharge your energy. The lights can also shine in a wide range of colors. Ideal for creating a good atmosphere at the next office party! You can access and turn the lights on and off from anywhere on the go.

Amazon Echo – The smart office assistant

Amazon Echo is a digital, voice-controlled assistant that can perform various tasks through installable skills: playing music, setting a timer, explaining terms, managing calendars, providing traffic and weather information, and much more. More and more manufacturers of smart products have already implemented skills for Amazon Echo, so, for example, the temperature can already be controlled via Tado° and the light via Philips Hue.

Smarter – The smart coffee machine

A good cup of coffee is indispensable for many in office life. With the Smarter coffee machine you can set through an app when the coffee should be ready and how long it should be kept warm. You can also control the taste and strength of the coffee. When the coffee is brewed to your liking, all employees in the office can be notified through the app.
