What is Home Automation?

Few good examples of Home Automation events:

• Weekdays 5:00 am during winter the furnace kicks in with temperature set at 70°F.
• Weekdays 6:00 am, the alarm clock rings, bed side lamps gradually lit up and the coffee machine starts brewing.
• Weekdays 8:00 am everyone left the house which folds back to nobody's home, shuts off all lights, brings the house at 60°F and engage the security system.
• Anytime during weekdays, you go back home earlier, you call, text or email your home and just say "going home", the house prepare everything - temperature, lighting etc... for your arrival.
• Anytime during the night to go the the kitchen, you get up, your side lamp goes on for 5 min then lights go on and off following you.

Home automation brings flexibility and security to your home.

According to Pierre Merlin leader in Home Automation design, everything and anything can be controlled, monitored and managed.

Some of the most common features are:

 Lighting, from on/off/dim controls, light scenes, to security awareness.

• Heating and Cooling, from simple temperature setbacks to more sophisticated seasonal detections and adjustments.
• Security system, from door and windows to a complete security management system with cameras and early warning systems.
• Audio and video, from one room distribution to whole house audio and video distribution
•  More complex feature can be:

• Voice recognition to receive command.
• Phone integration to generate and to receive calls.
• Swimming pool or sauna management with heating, filtering and purifying.
• Baby's room monitoring with noise and movement detection and reporting.
