Home automation is a home improvement that automates your whole house triggering routines involving lighting control, security components and the heating/cooling system based on the time of day.
Homeowners useĀ keypads, touch screens, hand-held remote controls or a PC to interact when necessary with the various systems linked to the home automation system.
Homeowners work directly with a company specializing in home automation or with an interior designer, home builder or home remodeling expert.
Moderate home automation offers basic lighting control and is often integrated with home security systems.
High end home automation systems often also include home theater, distributed audio, telecommunications, and sprinkler and pool/spa systems.
