What is a smart home? A smart home is a home wired in such a way that all the electronic elements, such as your television, home security system, lights, etc. communicate with each other, and also with you. This concept used to only be found in books about the future. Lights that illuminate when you walk in the door, and then dim whenever you’re about to start a movie are common in many homes these days.

That’s because smart homes and smart wiring are becoming cheaper and more readily available. It’s said that Bill Gates once spent $100 Million dollars to build a smart home. This was many years ago. These days, the practice is finally available to the average residential home builder.

When it comes to automation and smart wiring, nearly every device in the home can be linked. This not only allows a person to control everything in the house from a single control box or remote control, but images from cameras or displays from other appliances can even be viewed on a cell phone or computer with an internet connection.

This allows a person to potentially control the HVAC units in the home, lighting, turn off the coffee maker or oven if the person forgot to turn it off before leaving the house and the person can even view a home security system.  Read more...

Integration is the process of connecting multiple devices that perform different functions so that they may control each other. With Integrated Devices, your Home Security system can talk to your Heating and Air system, or your Lighting system to control them based on certain events, such as arming or disarming the security system, times of day, or even alarms.

Automation is the process of controlling that equipment based on certain events or times of day. Automation and Integration go hand-in-hand to control your audio and video systems, security system, lighting, heating and air, pool controls, and much more.

So why Integrate your home? Imagine turning off all the lights in your home at night without walking to every room – you can do so right from the Master Bedroom keypad or touchpanel. Better yet, set a night “scene” that turns all the lights off except the hallway light, which gets set to 25%. Or, maybe you want to change the thermostats in your home to 67° when you leave the house for the day. With Integration you can do so, automatically. Imagine the energy savings.

With remote access to your home, you can also control these devices from any internet-connected PC. Log in to the house to view cameras remotely, or adjust the heating and air systems, or make sure the security system was armed before you left for the day.

In today’s world, with technology changing every day, keeping these systems connected and accessible is becoming more and more important, and less expensive.  Read more...

Ever wonder what’s going on in and around your home while trying to relax on a much needed vacation. Vacations are supposed to be relaxing but we can’t help but to worry about our home and possessions. We worry about burglars, fires, weather, and wasting electricity, among other things. If you’re lucky you’ll have a neighbor you can trust that you can call to check in on things for you, but most of us don’t.

Today’s technologies can relieve, if not eliminate, the need to worry so much while far away from home. Today’s home automation options are like the things we saw in science fiction movies when we were kids but are very real today. They enable us to control, automate, and monitor our home from virtually anywhere in the world.

Imagine seeing what’s going on in your backyard at night while vacationing in Hawaii. Imagine the relief of knowing that the storm that blew through your community the night before didn’t cause damage to your home. And if anything ever does happen to your home while you’re away, your home can alert you to let you know.
