Home Automation

So, what is Custom
Installation?:
Well, at the top end of the spectrum it can mean the process of wiring a
whole house so that it’s completely electronically integrated. Phone home
before you leave the office and have a whole house system switch on the
lights, draw the curtains, open the garage doors, turn the CD player on and
download your e-mail ready for when you walk in the door. For most people,
though, it means something less extravagant but just as much fun - having a
hi-fi and/or home cinema system that can pipe quality sound and vision
around the house, all easily controlled from wherever in your home you
happen to be.
If that sounds horribly complicated, don’t worry; with today’s technology it
isn’t. Ease of use is a major concern for the companies manufacturing
products for the custom installation market. They’ve realised that this type
of system is something the whole family will want to use and they’ve
designed their equipment to make its operation simple.
So, Just how easy can it be?:
Imagine this as an example. One logical remote control that does the lot
using a simple, graphical, menu. You want to watch a movie on DVD, So press
DVD. Pushing one button turns on the TV or projector, lowers the viewing
screen, switches the surround sound system on and starts the DVD playing.
In a more complex environment it could also dim the lights and draw the
curtains and it stays simple and user friendly. Of course, it’s not the sort
of system a DIY’er could set-up, but it’s an everyday
task for our highly trained professionals.
