Smart House Technology
Posted By admin on June 5, 2009
It is no longer a scene from a Star Trek movie. Homes today have lights that turn on when we walk into a room, and turn off when we leave. The heat can be turned on remotely, 30 minutes before we get home on a cold winter day so we can be nice and cozy in the evening. Or the AC can be monitored at a distance to keep our home at a comfortable level of cool on a hot day. Do you want your home to have the lights on when you get there for safety reasons? No problem.
This technology does not involve adding an expensive network of computers. So how does it work?
For approximately $100, you can purchase a starter kit that will allow you to control a number of units in your home. This kit includes hardware such as timers and wireless control components. It also offers computer software to interface with the system controls and appliances in your home, either when you are home or off site.
Installing a completely automated system is ideally done during initial home construction when access to walls, outlets and system panels is available. When new technology is created, changes to the system are made easier by simply adding that option to the pre-installed grid. To avoid major structural modifications in pre-existing homes, wireless systems will allow homeowners to take advantage of the smart home features.
