Home Automation
As you have been reading up about the many different system and service offerings available through Cyberhomes Systems, you may have seen a theme developing. A theme that combines the control and functionality of each individual sub-system and brings them together under one whole house interface. This is what we refer to as Home Automation. So why call it “Automation” and not “Control” or something else? Well our systems certainly not only give you control whenever you want it, but our customized systems can automate many of daily functions throughout your home. The way we see it, we are not selling products and gizmos, we are designing customized home automation system that is adapted to your lifestyle and boost your productivity while reducing worry or concern about your daily routines. For instance, this is a typical day before home automation.
- Wake up, begrudgingly, around 5:30-6:00 in total darkness.
- Motivate yourself to get up to turn on lights, get dressed, bump up the heat, open the shades, and take the dog for a walk.
- Most mornings you would forget to turn off the alarm and it would go off when you opened the door. When you returned from the walk, you would adjust more lights, turn the heat down a little, and turn on the TV to the news channel.
- After morning coffee, you might turn off the TV and put on the music while you stretched or had a light workout.
- Now it was time to head out for work. You walk throughout each room of the house turning off all the lights, turn off the audio system, set the thermostat back, and head out the door.
- At the end of your street, you realized that you did not lock the door and probably forgot to arm the security system.
- First replace the remote control for your Audio/Video system. Now the TV could come on automatically in the morning and just one remote is needed to control everything.
- A couple of months later, replace all the light switches with dimmers and swap out the thermostats. Now the lights gently fade up in the morning and the heat comes on before you get out of bed.
- Next up, add in a security system and a motorized door lock. Now when you go to bed at night, just hit one button to lock the door, arm the security system, turn off the Audio/Video, turn off lights throughout the house, and set the temperature back until just before you wake the next morning.
- Consider adding some motorized blinds, distributed video, and a surveillance system. Now your home is complete.
