Home Automation

Home Automation:

The term “home automation” usually conjures up images of the Jetsons and arobot named “Rosie”.  In reality, home automation is the only way to design a home for the 21st century.  If you want to watch a movie, do you want to fumble your way through eight different remote controls or would you prefer to press a single button on a single remote?  When you come home, wouldn’t it make sense to have the lights turn on automatically as you enter a dark house?  If you arm your security system when you leave, wouldn’t it be nice if your heating system turned itself down to save energy while you’re away?  Shouldn’t the lights your kids left on, the coffeemaker, and the curling iron all turn off when you leave so you don’t have to think about it?   Why do you have to fumble for the light switch in the garage when you’re carrying two bags of groceries?  Why not have the garage lights turn on automatically whenever someone’s there?  How about simple, intuitive touchscreens throughout the house that will each permit you to pick your music, turn on the entertainment system, control the lighting scenes, arm the security system, check on the baby (nursery cam), check your email, or turn up the thermostats?  Once you’ve lived in a professionally and properly integrated home, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without home automation.
