Automation

“We didn’t compromise with the automation,” says Neil. “Wherever I am in the world, I can control everything from my phone. If the grass is looking a little bit dry, I can hit the sprinklers,” he laughs.

Tom says it is a fantastic solution. “Every house that we’ve put C-Bus in, people love it. It’s easy to use and we never have any dramas.”

Charge it up

The energy efficient approach to Bunker House encompasses its building materials through to the addition of solar panels and rainwater storage, as well as the smart home automation to eliminate excessive energy use. A Schneider Electric EVlink Home charging station on the driveway completes the picture.

Tom Ryan says that the rapid growth in EV ownership has seen a surge in demand for residential EV chargers, and installing the EVlink Home charger for guests at Bunker House really enhances the property’s offering. “Guests can jump in their car, head to Bunker House and recharge throughout their stay without having to worry about finding public charging stations.”

EVlink Home Charger

He says the EVlink Home charger has many other benefits too. “This is a 3 phase charger which provides far superior charging time than standard chargers,” says Tom. “Most importantly, this charger has a peak controller. This constantly monitors how much power is being used and will change the capacity of the charger to not overload the electrical supply of the house. Guests can also monitor the charging from the screens inside the house.”

The EVlink Home charger is weatherproof and robust so it can be wall-mounted inside a garage or outside. Its simple ‘plug and charge’ operation means vehicles can be charged quickly, safely and cost effectively.
