Home Automation The ultimate in convenience is achieved by automating all of the systems in your home. Our staff has installed home automation systems using Crestron as well as other manufacturers’ products. From a wall- mounted touch panel, your system can allow you to control heating/ cooling, lights, entertainment and security systems. We can even help you to access your home remotely over the internet.

    By using touch screen wall panels or wireless devices, one touch of a button can perform multiple functions. For example, the “Sleep” button might be programmed to turn on the alarm, turn off all lights except night lights, lower the heat and lower the shades. The “Watch Movie” button might turn on all appropriate entertainment equipment, set the phone to ring silently by visible notification on the screen and dim the lights to the appropriate level.
