The time is drawing near when
all new homes will be fully automated in an integrated manner.
In addition to economizing on time and effort, so crucial to
most of us in this day-and-age, the convenience of automation
can provide security and cost savings as well as comfort.
Whether choosing to wire a new house being built or changing
switches in an existing residence to function wirelessly, a
home control system can have an immense impact on one’s
day-to-day living.
Although separate control
mechanisms are available for various systems within a
residence, e.g. lighting, climate, security, home
entertainment, landscape care, it is when these independent
mechanisms are united under a common control system that the
benefits of living in a “smart” home are realized and
appreciated. Additionally, an integrated system can be
accessed remotely when unanticipated events change your
schedule.
Home control systems allow for
the design of one-button schemes, so various conditions can
perform different scenarios. For instance, your children come
home from school within a particular time window. When their
personalized code disarms the security system, the home
control system can be programmed to re-arm the windows and all
but one door, turn on the kitchen and family room lights, and
then notify you through a remote access device that this
scenario has been activated.
It is essential that your home
control systems installer and your electrician share their
wiring plans. There is a safety and potential cost-savings
advantage to using an electrician who specializes and is
certified in installing and programming these devices. This is
also true for preparing a vintage, historic, or other fine
existing residence to function wirelessly without installation
of control and communication wires which can potentially
damage walls.
