Home Automation

Our home automation systems can turn on specific lights at sundown, turn them off at sunrise, water the lawn when it is dry, water the indoor plants when needed and increase or decrease room temperatures at certain times of the day -- and by "zones!"

Manual controls of your home automation system can be everywhere and greatly simplified. Instead of an entire row of switches that take up a lot of wall space, we can install a strip of four very small buttons that perform the functions of forty conventional switches. Or use a touchscreen programmed to do whatever you like, from your favorite chair!

Certain functions can be activated by merely entering a room, opening a door or even just approaching the front door using advanced sensor devices. Exterior lights, for example, can be programmed to turn on when someone enters the driveway -- Your shower and bathroom fans can be programmed to start and stop automatically. We work with you and the craftsmen to simplify your life by automating tasks and routines.

Instant atmosphere! By setting up "modes," any number of electrical functions can be activated simultaneously by pushing one button. An "entertain mode" button, for example, could turn on pool lights, fountains, set the thermostats to the "occupied" setting, open the front gates, deactivate the sprinkler system and turn on music from your favorite group of CDs. A "vacation mode" button could arm the security system, duplicate the prior two week's light activities, and turn off hot water heaters. You can even call up your house from any phone in the world to check the status of the security system -- or to put the house into "entertain mode" for last minute parties.

Security and safety have never been so important. Our home automation systems can use hidden video cameras, electronic key systems, and sensor devices that detect arrivals in your driveway to provide you with the highest level of security available today.

Automation systems can even be re-programmed from our offices whenever necessary as your needs change.

The only limit to these systems is the imagination of the homeowner and designer!
