Home Automation
For some it may be something as simple as remote or automatic control of a few lights. For others, security may be the central application. A very basic definition, we tend to refer to home automation as anything that gives you remote or automatic control of things around the home.
Adding home automation to an existing home is surprisingly affordable and simple.

Home Theater & Entertainment
Just imagine replacing your numerous remotes with just one controller. Not having to know all 10 steps to starting up your home theater - just press the WATCH DVD icon and your home automation products/system will do the rest.
Phone Systems
Phone systems which are usually used for small business applications are surprisingly convenient in the home. With the many features they have, voice mail can be added and checked from anywhere in the world anytime via the phone. You can even have the system call you in an event.
Thermostats
Remote control thermostats allow you to adjust the temperature from bed at night or even from a cell phone while on your way home (or to your 2nd home!). They can even trigger a notice to you if the temperature gets too low (freezing pipes) or too high (pets, plants, etc.).
Networking
Home automation can be accomplished using various types of connectivity. What's great is that many of today's home automation products need no new wires - so they are perfect to retrofit into an existing home. If you are building new, or doing a major remodel, please consider adding networking, audio, video and control wiring while it is easy and relatively inexpensive, later on you'll be happy you did.
