Home automation may include centralized
control of lighting, HVAC (heating,
ventilation and air conditioning),
appliances, and other systems, to provide
improved convenience, comfort, energy
efficiency and security. Home automation for
the elderly and disabled can provide
increased quality of life for persons who
might otherwise require caregivers or
institutional care.
An automated home coordinates security,
temperatures, lighting, and audio/video
automatically for safety, energy savings,
and convenience.
Automatically dimming lights and changing
heating and cooling set points when you are
away from home can greatly reduce energy
costs. Remote access lets you view security
video on a laptop or web-enabled cell phone.
Adding home automation can also increase the
value of your home. |
