Of course, there are times when you might want to leave the lights and music on to make the house look occupied- like whilst you’re away on holiday, for example. Instead of wasting electricity by continuously leaving a light on, this house makes use of presence simulation. The residents’ activities are recorded over the period of a week, with the Miniserver taking note of which lights are switched on and at what time, when music is played and when the blinds are closed. It then simply ‘replays’ these actions when the presence simulation mode is selected - so it appears that someone is always at home, even when they’re not.
