An automated home provides security, temperature, lighting, and audio control for comfort, convenience, and safety. The system can be accessed and controlled over the telephone or optionally over the Internet.

Intelligent management of your air conditioning and heating system will lower your monthly utility bill. In fact, your home control  system can generate enough savings to pay for itself!

Home Control products may be installed in new or existing homes. In an existing home a homeowner may use our products over their existing wiring or choose to use our wireless products.

 Automated temperature controls allow comfortable temperatures while you are home and energy savings while you are away. These controls may be based on the security mode (day, night, or away), room occupancy, or outdoor temperature.

Lighting increasingly plays an important role in the elegance and comfort that a homeowner enjoys. Dining rooms, great rooms, media rooms, and home theaters all benefit from lighting scenes that set the proper mood for various activities.

Examples:

• During the summer the temperature setting on your smart thermostat is automatically turned up when you are away at work without you having to remember to set it back. It is then automatically turned down one-half hour before you normally get home in order for you to arrive home to a cool house.
  
   
• Your dining room has a room controller lighting switch that sets four different lighting scenes, depending upon the desired activity, such as normal dining, romantic dining, food delivery or pickup, or party.

For the ultimate in convenience, your Home Control System can automate lighting sequences for "good night", "good morning", or "entertainment". Lights may be set to come on when a door is opened or when a car enters the driveway. Light up a dark hallway when motion is sensed. Enjoy lighting timed with sunset and sunrise.

Create a dramatic or relaxing effect in your home with true architectural lighting scenes to enhance your enjoyment of parties, family movie nights, or romantic dinners.

Your smart home controller may be accessed via consoles, touchscreens, telephone, or computer. Computer access may be through Windows Media Center, by modem, or over the Internet. Access to the system allows you to check on the status of your home or adjust lights and temperature settings.

Different music, in different rooms, for different people is one of the most exciting and fastest growing options for home entertainment.

Examples:

• Have the closet light automatically turn on when you open its door.
   
• Have the porch light automatically turn on when you open the front door after dark.
   
• Call your automation controller over the phone to make changes to your system.
   
• While watching a DVD on your Windows Media Center loaded with Home Control software you hear the doorbell. Minimize the DVD window while you check your front door camera.
   
• Log into your automation controller over the Internet via Web software and change your temperature settings.
   
• Mom listens to her classic oldies radio station while preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Suzy listens to her Top 40 radio station in the family room while doing her homework. The radio station and volume are all controlled through an inwall touch screen.

Our smart home controllerr is a fully functioning UL-listed security system - only smarter! The Omni-family system monitors and alerts you of intrusion, fire, carbon monoxide, freezing conditions, water leaks, etc.

In the event of a fire, the air conditioning is turned of to deter the spread of smoke and fire. You can also set the system to turn on all of the lights in the house to aid in your family's safe exit.

The smart home controller may be set up to make outbound phone calls when certain trigger events occur. Also, the controller (when working with our web software) may send out e-mails when triggering events occur.

Examples:

• Lighting and audio controls can make a vacant home look and sound occupied.
   
• You could set your smart home controller to automatically call you at work when your child comes home from school and keys in his security code into the security system
