DSC0700_20250918-130259_1

Luxury living in Sydney isn't just about the view or the postcode - it's about how your home feels and functions every day. Smart technology, when integrated thoughtfully, can enhance your home's comfort, convenience, and lifestyle.

At One Sydney Harbour, one of Australia's most iconic residential developments, Kayder played a pivotal role in integrating world-class smart home systems that deliver comfort, convenience, and complete lifestyle control.

This project exemplifies what's possible when design excellence meets cutting-edge technology.

The Vision Behind Smart Integration

For us, technology is never just about devices - it's about creating homes that feel effortless to live in. Smart integration means every system, from lighting and shading to climate and audio, is harmonised and accessible at the touch of a button.

At One Sydney Harbour, we collaborated closely with architects, designers, and contractors to design a system powered by Crestron Home OS4. The result is a living experience where residents enjoy intuitive control across every room, without the complexity of managing multiple apps or remotes.

7 Smart Home Features to Elevate Your Sydney Winter Comfort in 2025

Smart Home Climate Control

Sydney winters may be mild, but when the temperature drops, there’s nothing better than coming home to a space that feels warm, comfortable, and easy to live in. At Kayder, we believe home comfort goes beyond just heating - it’s about seamless control, smarter living, and systems that respond to your needs. That’s where smart home automation comes in. With fully integrated systems that let you control lighting, heating, blinds, entertainment, and more, all from a single interface, we help our clients take winter living to the next level.

Here are 7 smart home automation features that can make a real difference to your comfort this winter tailored for those of us living in Sydney.

1. Smart Home Climate Control

smart heating system is the foundation for winter comfort. Integrated Climate Control allows you to preheat your home before you walk through the door, maintain the perfect temperature across individual zones, and adjust it all from your phone or touchscreen. It’s a simple way to stay warm without wasting energy.

2. Smart Automated Lighting Scenes

With darker mornings and earlier evenings being a key feature of winter in Sydney, lighting plays a big role in how your home feels. Lighting Control lets you create custom scenes for different times of day or activities, like a warm glow when you wake up, or soft lighting for relaxing after work. You can even link it with your blinds and heating to create a seamless experience.

3. Motorised Blinds & Curtains

Let the winter morning sun in or keep the warmth in at night - all with the tap of a button or on a set schedule. Motorised Shading can be programmed to open and close based on time of day or outdoor weather conditions, helping you make the most of natural light while keeping your home cosy when the temperature drops.
