REMOTE CONTROL COMFORT


Lentworth has launched a new IT concierge


service that puts you in complete control of your home – from any location


A decade ago, if you had been told that when you were away from home you could control your heating, lights, audio visual equipment and kitchen appliances from your phone, it would have sounded like science fiction. Now with rapid developments in IT, not only is this technology within the reach of anyone with a smart phone or other mobile device but it is surprisingly affordable.


From as little as £250 each month for a basic package, flat owners now have access to a new

IT concierge service called Lentworth, launched to meet growing demand from home owners for a one-stop, tailor-made solution for all their tech needs. Targeted at owners and managing agents of luxury developments, apartments and houses, the company specialises in providing set up, support and security services for all the devices around the home.


Through Lentworth, all your devices can be linked via a secure internet connection which


can then be controlled from a mobile device anywhere in the world. The home network provides storage for music, photos and data, all securely backed up; CCTV and sound systems are linked to the network, providing security and music in every room if required. As the ‘internet of things’ develops further, there is increased connectivity between devices and appliances making it perfectly possible – and very easy - to switch your washing machine or cooker on from your mobile or boost your heating on the way back from the airport.
