London Land Group and ABB Electrification’s Smart Buildings Division have signed a key supplier agreement that lays the foundation for cutting-edge home automation. The collaboration underscores London Land Group's commitment to delivering unparalleled living experiences through the seamless integration of innovative and connected systems that will be implemented across their forthcoming developments in the UK.
Under the partnership, residents will benefit from energy savings and next-generation home automation. With energy management tools at their fingertips, residents will experience the full comfort and convenience of being able to access and control a full range of smart appliances, devices, and systems, from a single app.
The first development is expected to be One Westmoreland in Bromley, where deployment of smart technology using ABB's cutting-edge home systems, such as ABB-free@home®, with Samsung SmartThings is intended to extend across all 122 apartments.
