Please see below for commonly asked questions regarding Home Automation Systems:-
Why do I need Home Automation?
In today’s high-tech homes Home Automation systems allow for simple control of all technology. For example prior to Home Automation systems you may have had your TV, surround sound system, DVD player, VCR, and Satellite receiver in your Lounge. Each of these would have a separate remote control which would need to be pointed at the relevant equipment to allow operation. These days most people do not want to see their Hi-Fi equipment in the room, they would prefer to have everything out of the way and simplify the clutter of remotes with a single solution that operates all. A Home Automation system offers simplified control. Pick up your touch panel and press the “Watch TV” button and the TV comes on, the surround sound amp turns on and switches to the right input, the satellite receiver comes to life and you are watching TV! Your Home Automation system can not only control your Audio and Video systems but it can integrate with Mood Lighting systems, HVAC systems, and Security and CCTV systems as well.

How does Home Automation work?
Many of today’s technologies offer communication of some description and a Home Automation system has the intelligence to understand the need for the communications and offers actions and reactions accordingly. Most common forms of communication are IP (Internet Protocol), RS-232 Serial Protocol, and IR (Infra Red) as well as others such as Contact Closure an IO. Our Home Automation systems offer the method of taking this data and feeding back to you in a simplified format. Most Home Automation systems would sit on your computer network which allows for interface controls over the Internet as well as local control on PC’s, Mac’s and other PDA and network attached devices. By adding your Home Automation Control Systems to a network you know have the option to have global control of your home. An example of this might be you popped out for the afternoon forgetting to activate the alarm system, and close your gates, so you pick up you iPhone and log in to your home and arm the security system, whilst logged on you realise that you may indeed end up away for the night so you set the “Occupancy” setting on the lighting control system. Now you know your home is safe, secure and also simulating your being at home to discourage any opportunists, all at the press of a button.
