The shower marketplace is witnessing the most exciting development in the showering environment for many years with the launch of the new truly smart shower from Aqualisa – the Aqualisa Optic Q shower - available now through leading online retailers. The company claims that it offers consumers the first truly smart, voice-activated, connected and technologically advanced shower ever offered in the UK and Ireland. This is a natural evolution to the popular personalised Q shower from Aqualisa.
THE LAUNCH OF THE AQUALISA OPTIC Q
The new Smart Optic Q – a genuinely smart shower that brings internet connectivity, voice activation and control via an App, through the new Aqualisa Smart Valve, the brains behind intelligent showering. The best-selling Quartz digital evolved into Q which was launched in 2017. Aqualisa has now taken a revolutionary step into the world of smart introducing the truly Smart Optic Q, that fully establishes showering as an integral part of the smart home. This exciting new shower features voice activation for the first time in the UK marketplace and is now available from leading online suppliers.
The partnership with Google and Amazon is a vital part of the new connectivity on offer to consumers, with Aqualisa, Alexa and Google sharing brand values and reach capability.
Importantly, the new shower remains easy to install and ultra-reliable as was its predecessor – so this is still a true ‘fit and forget’ shower unit. As with all Aqualisa showering digital products, it’s designed for the end-user, but equally for the installer who will love working with these products for their ease of location and simple pipework connections. Aqualisa built its reputation with installers and consumers alike on quality and reliability and the new Aqualisa Smart Optic Q evolution enhances that reputation still further. It offers the best of both worlds for installers and their customers and is set to become the latest instalment in the company’s impressive success story.
No longer confined to ‘techy enthusiasts’, we know that more and more consumers are looking for smart devices to make their lives easier, to facilitate busier lifestyles, to meet increasingly complex needs - helping mobility for example. Technology gives more personalised experiences and vitally, can save money.
The new Smart Optic Q from Aqualisa offers a new generation of showers to increasingly demanding customers who are looking for the very highest standards of design and functionality. Indeed, the product story for digital showers over the last twenty years was all about style while its high performance and reputation for reliability have never been bettered. Aqualisa recognised that digital showers needed to evolve with the times and have taken this to the next level with truly smart showering in mind.
Establishing Wi-Fi connection, app technology and voice activation as integral to the showering experience, all things that come as standard with the new Smart Optic Q is the next big step for showering in the UK and is simple to use.
App technology allows homeowners to control their smart shower via Wi-Fi
connecting through residential Wi-Fi networks to the Aqualisa Smart Valve (ASV) using safe and secure best practice for IoT/Connected devices. It utilises the simplest on-boarding techniques possible to establish secure and robust connection with the ASV via Wi-Fi. It also integrates into established smart home eco-systems via voice control – using Alexa and Google Nest. So, the new Smart Optic Q delivers the usual quality Aqualisa showering experience homeowners are used to but with enhanced smart features. The new Smart Optic Q is available in an online product kit that includes control, fixed and flexible showerheads and a hose. Remote controls that can be installed up to 10 metres from the shower are also available.
The Optic Q offers the most personal showering experience yet and it’s a shower product to which devotees of the smart home will aspire. Every member of the family can activate their own personal shower, and saved on the App for the perfect, consistently repeated showering experience.
These exceptional new showers are connected by WI-FI – not Bluetooth and are Google and Alexa enabled. You can control your shower or bath from inside or outside the home, providing the ultimate in control enabling you to walk through the front door and your bath can be ready to the exact depth and temperature you require or your shower is ready to help you relax or invigorate.
The benefits of this incredible connectivity include precise temperature and a powerful showering experience whatever water supplies it is connected to. Shower profiles can be preset for each member of the family to ensure they can each, consistently, get into a shower they enjoy. A clearly visible LED display indicates when the shower is ready, so there’s no need to lean in and test the water.
The new Smart Optic Q puts showering at the cutting edge of home automation – but the sophisticated technology remains simple to use for homeowners, who just want their desired shower experience at a single touch. With connectivity comes efficiency and with the intuitive and practical Aqualisa app, you can monitor the duration, water usage and cost of your shower from your smart phone or device, to optimise performance, if you choose.
It's a new shower option that will surpass the expectations of installers and consumers, with its innovative added value features and benefits that were not possible on the traditional digital shower – affirmation that Aqualisa continues to pioneer in showering innovation.
