Smart Living Made Easy

Here at Cascade we believe life is for living, and the removal of mundane tasks from our sometimes busy and hectic life styles can only be a good thing. One of our main partners - Somfy Systems have produced the worlds best motors for the automation of window coverings and awnings for more than 50 years.

Around 6 years ago Somfy moved into the Smart Home market with the release of the first generation Tahoma system throughout Europe, Asia and North America, and in March 2017 we were very exited for news of the release of the second generation Tahoma box here in the UK, closely followed by the release of Tahoma's little sister Connexoon a low cost RTS only hub, allowing control of a whole host of easy living home products.
