This includes lights switching on when the householders wake up and adjusting heating according to\u00a0occupancy.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Burton, founder and chief executive of Wondrwall, commented: \u201cWondrwall began as an energy saving product, tasked with saving the billions being wasted from heating and lighting empty homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring our development cycle the home technology market saw the arrival of a fragmented landscape of devices to control your boiler, lighting, security and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompounding the problem of requiring multiple devices to improve your home\u2019s efficiency was the issue that they all seemed to lack intelligence, requiring significant user input to operate effectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew Wondrwall could be so much more than just an energy saving system, so we extended functionality to include lifestyle personalisation, safety and security features.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wondrwall selected\u00a0NatWest to support its ambitions due to the banks specialist support for businesses in the tech sector.<\/p>\n<p>The funding package includes facilities from partners RBSIF and Lombard.
