Solution Description

Lighting, Security and Heating/Cooling are all "Background" systems in a residence. You're typically only involved with them when turning them on or off, or setting for a desired condition. Many times during the day, you interact with all of these systems at the same time. When you Leave or return home, for example, you turn lights on/off, the security system is activated/deactivated, and the HVAC system is set to a different desired temperature. Same goes for going to bed and waking up in the morning.

Basic Home Automation can tie these systems together in a seamless fashion for easier, more manageable control. Events can also be scheduled. For example, one hour before sunrise your preferred wake-up temperature is set, and the hallway lights are lit to a dim level making for an easier trip to the coffee pot.

While these convenience factors are nice, here are a few more benefits of a Home Automation system...

    - Turn on outside lights if a motion sensor is tripped
    - Turn on all lights if the security system is tripped
    - Turn off the air conditioner if an outside door is left open for a specified time
    - Turn off the lights in the kids' rooms after the bus leaves for school

Not only can these environment and safety systems be tied together, but your distributed audio system can be tied in as well. So instead of having a bunch of "wall warts" to deal with, a simple wall-mounted touch panel can control lights, temperature, security and entertainment.
