Home automation controllers are the brain of home automation. They connect all the systems in your house, such as:

• Lighting
• Heating and cooling
• Security
• Audio and video entertainment equipment
• Lawn and pool equipment
• And virtually any other electronic system in your house!

Once these systems are connected, they work together seamlessly, saving you time and money, and making your life more comfortable and enjoyable. After the controller is installed and programmed, convenient control pads or touch panels are placed throughout the home, putting total control at your fingertips no matter where you are. Now mundane tasks become automated: you don’t have to adjust the temperature every night, only to re-adjust it in the morning; you don’t have to worry about turning on lights when you arrive home or remember to turn everything off before you leave. When you want to watch a movie, instead of having to close the blinds, turn off the lights, and turn on the TV, DVD player, and surround sound receiver, you get to push just one button, and all these tasks take place by themselves!

Not only will you begin to realize total control when you are in your house, you no longer have to worry when you are away on vacation. You can literally “check your house” using your cell phone, PDA, or any computer with internet access. You’ll be able to view the status of your security system, view data from your video surveillance cameras, adjust exterior lighting, monitor your pool equipment, and even more! This is just a small glimpse into the power of home automation.
