Home Automation / Whole House Integration

Create a home of ultimate comfort and convenience through home automation. Your settings are programmed into touch panels and remotes to keep your home in tune with your lifestyle and simultaneously simplify your life.

Home automation options include integration of your house’s lights, heating and cooling, drapes, security and audio/video components.

Some examples of home automation for your house include:
* Loading a DVD into the player, and with a single touch of a button, the lights dim, the shades close, the TV turns on and the volume increases or decreases according to your pre-set settings.
* If the doorbell rings, the movie is paused and the lights brighten to see your way to the door.
* In cold months your house knows to retain heat by opening the drapes on sunny days to let in sunlight and then closing them to keep in heat once the sun has set.
* The same window treatments can be programmed to adjust at pre-set times to reduce glare and protect delicate fabrics and fine art from harmful direct sunlight.
* Late at night you can program your hallway lights to automatically illuminate as you walk by.

We work with each homeowner to get a solid understanding of how home automation will add convenience before suggesting a system for your home.

Lighting Control

Lighting control is a great way to save time and energy while adding value to your house.

Typical lighting switches are traded out for touchpad controls that are part of a programmable linked system to control specific rooms, the entire house, and even your landscape lighting.

Your lighting can be programmed for different settings to use less energy and increase bulb life while having set light levels for cooking, dining, reading, movie watching or entertaining.

A connected system allows you to take advantage of having a “goodnight” setting that will turn off the main lights, dim the landscape, and set nightlights. In the morning, this same system can easily open all the shades with another touch—no more running to each room. Your home lights can be programmed to turn on when you open your garage door or be set to mimic daily routines of lights and shades to look occupied when you are on vacation.

Lighting control has many features including entertainment options that will illuminate outdoor lighting, accent art collections, ignite the fireplace, and set lights throughout the house to the desired levels. Movie settings can dim the lights, lower the shades, and start the DVD player. We will walk you through the numerous options while designing a lighting system that works for your needs including customize touchpads to match your home.

Computers & Networking

Home System Solutions can use your computer to create a secure home network system that is accessible throughout the house. Within that system, we can connect many useful features from accessing your music & photos, controlling the house lighting and a multitude of connectable networking devices. We can also install a NAS server or back-up system to help store and properly back up all your files so you can access them from different computers in the house. Through wire and wireless networking we can help integrate your computer into your digital lifestyle.
