What exactly is a home automation
system?
|
|
Home automation is a technology that has been around
for decades, but has only recently become a must-have in today's smart homes.
While originally limited to hobbyists,
early home automation allowed occupants to remotely control lights and some small appliances around the home. The techology used
to do this at the time was called X-10. Today however, the fickle X-10 technology has been replaced with Universal
Powerline Bus (or UPB) which allows for secure error-free communication of smart devices in the home utilizing existing electrical
lines. UPB utilizes spread-spectrum technology, originally designed for the military.

So what can this technology do for you?
Here are some examples:
|
|
|
~ Turn on lights to predetermined
lighting scenes with the press of a button, by motion, or by time of day
~ When on
vacation, have lights change perodically to create a 'lived-in' look
~ Never
come home to a dark house again! Use a keychain remote to turn on desired lights when pulling in the driveway
~ Hear a noise outside? Turn on all your exterior lights from a button on your nightstand!
~ Leaving for the day? Press one button by the door to turn off unnecessary lights, and turn down
the heat automatically.
~ Are you a second homeowner? With home automation, you can
control lights, applicances, heating and cooling from a telephone or over the internet from anywhere in the world!
... and anything else limited only by your imagination!
