Home Automation
Home Automation can be something as simple as remote or automatic control of a few lights, all the way to control of security, cameras, home theater (audio), HVAC or any electronic device around your home or business.
Adding home automation into an existing home or business is surprisingly affordable and simple to control with todays technology of smart phones, iPads, even an iPod touch.
WHAT CAN I CONTROL?
Lighting
The power to transform any space with light in your home or business is now yours literally at the touch of a button. Control lights and shade levels in a single room or throughout your whole property using a hand-held remote, wall-mounted keypad, or tabletop control. Create just the right light for any activity or mood with whole house lighting control.

Home Theater & Entertainment
Imagine replacing your numerous remote controls with just one controller. Not having to know all 10 steps to starting up your home theater, explain to the babysitter....or even pull out the cheat sheet! Plane and simple, 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 wiring - 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.
