Project CTM Lyng: Advancing Smart Home Security with AI

Project Overview

ASTAR CONSULTING partnered with CTM Lyng AS, Norway's leading manufacturer and supplier of home security products and welfare technology, to develop cutting-edge AI solutions for their smart home ecosystem.

The Challenge

CTM Lyng, known for brands like mKomfy®, Aqua Xpress®, Microsafe®, Centrol®, and mTouch®, needed to enhance their product offerings with intelligent features that could:

• •Predict and prevent security threats
• •Optimize energy consumption
• •Improve user experience through smart automation
• •Integrate seamlessly with existing home infrastructure

Our Solution

1. Intelligent Threat Detection

We developed an AI-powered threat detection system that:

• •Pattern Recognition: Analyzes behavioral patterns to distinguish between normal activities and potential threats
• •Predictive Analytics: Anticipates security risks before they occur
• •Real-time Alerts: Sends intelligent notifications based on threat severity
• •False Positive Reduction: Minimizes unnecessary alerts through advanced ML algorithms

2. Energy Optimization AI

• •Smart Scheduling: AI learns household routines to optimize heating and lighting
• •Predictive Maintenance: Identifies potential equipment failures before they occur
• •Energy Consumption Analysis: Provides detailed insights and recommendations
• •Weather Integration: Adjusts settings based on weather forecasts

3. Welfare Technology Enhancement

• •Activity Monitoring: Non-intrusive monitoring for elderly care
• •Anomaly Detection: Identifies unusual patterns that may indicate health issues
• •Emergency Response: Automated alert systems for critical situations
• •Privacy-First Design: All AI processing respects user privacy
