Lighting control
Lighting control is a fundamental
part of any home automation system, providing some of the most user-friendly,
convenient benefits including an "all off" button that can turn every
light off from next to your bed, or a "welcome home" button that can
be operated by remote control in your car, turning on garage, pathway and
hallway lights. There are also many energy saving benefits to be gained from
lighting control systems including utilising sensors and timers to turn off
lights automatically, and dimmers to reduce the amount of power consumed.
Home theatre
Flat screen TVs, video projectors, surround sound systems, DVD players,
Blue Ray recorders, hard disk recorders, pay TV, digital TV and gaming
consoles; is it any wonder people find the home theatre a complicated room to
operate? Simplify operation and replace multiple remote controls with a
universal remote, furthermore, integrated into a home automation system a
universal remote can also activate the room's lighting and curtains.
Keyless entry
We use remotes to lock and unlock
our cars, so why at home, do we still fumble around with our keys to open the
door. In a smart home, keyless entry takes on a whole new level of
functionality with the ability to trigger other events such as turning on the
lights, music and air conditioning.
Irrigation
Did you know an automated irrigation
system reduces water wastage far beyond that of a standalone irrigation system?
Even then, efficiencies can be further maximised by taking other variables into
consideration such as daytime temperature, rainfall, wind speed, and ground
moisture, and all conveniently controlled via a touch screen or web tablet
inside the home, as well as a mobile phone or Internet.
Air conditioning
One of the most
power-hungry devices in our home. However, integrated into a home automation
system with timers and sensors it can operate far more efficiently. Including
automatic opening and closing of your windows and blinds will further reduce
your thermal transfer. User-friendly operation using the same
switches and touch screens as your lights or can be controlled via the
Internet or your mobile phone.
Security
Home security is a must these days
and a system integrated into a smart home provides far greater security
benefits, including turning on lights as a deterrent, alerting you via your
email or SMS if there is an intrusion and allowing you to view cameras from
your mobile phone. The C-Bus Wiser Home Controller can easily arm and disarm
via one button that can also control your lighting, curtains and air
conditioner as you come and go.
Multi room audio
A multi room audio system allows you
to listen to music throughout your home, without the need for big bulky
speakers and electronic components. With the choice of either the same music or
various sources in different rooms your whole family will be happy. You can
even plug your kids' iPods into the system in their bedrooms!
Media centre
Want to make the most of your
"digital content" and eliminate the need to store videos, music and
digital photos onto hundreds of disks? Media centres are a new addition to the
home, whereby they provide a central location for the storage and playback of
any type of digital information, ultimately supplying glitch-free media
anywhere in the home through home networking.
Video intercom
Rapidly replacing the front door
bell, video intercoms are far more powerful when integrated into a smart home
together with keyless and automated entry systems. The intercom rings, your
visitor appears on the TV, you give a verbal welcome via cordless phone and
press the "open door" button on your remote, all without even moving
from the couch.
Windows and blinds
Motorised windows, blinds and
curtain dressings are incredibly practical. Most importantly though, they
improve living environments by automatically adjusting according to the
surroundings, so you will always be living with the perfect amount of ambient
light, airflow, and temperature. Imagine it's summer;
in the morning the windows and curtains automatically open to allow air flow
and light, as the outside temperature increases the windows close, then as
sunlight increases the blinds close.
