Simply, home automation is anything that gives you remote or automatic control of things in & around the home. The systems that you can control include: Lighting, Appliances, Heating and cooling, Security and monitoring systems, Entertainment (home audio and video), Communications (telephones and intercoms, internet), Lawn sprinklers, Curtain movements, Pool filter pump, Spa heater, Filtration unit, Gate/garage door motor, Shade motor control, Roof sprinklers, Electric strikes, Keyless entry etc.
The concept of home automation is to connect all of these systems and devices to a central controller so that they can be controlled from anywhere and react to one another. For example, as you arrive home, your home-automation system can automatically turn off the sprinklers, open the garage door, unlock the front door and disable the alarm, light the downstairs, and turn on the TV. Or if you power on the DVD player, it might automatically dim the lights, draw the shades, and direct all calls to voicemail.

How it works:
A Web Interface allows you to control your home appliances from a web site. The program accepts commands from the web page and converts them to instructions that are then passed on to the interface communications bridge. The Communications Bridge provides the link between your PC and the computer interface. The application does not need to be running for this to work. Only the Communications Bridge needs to be running.
This program allows you to define which of your appliances you want to be controlled on the web. Based on your definitions, this program validates every device and command that it receives before generating the communications link instruction. If something does not check out, no command is sent to your interface system.
This central controller can be accessed and controlled through interfaces like keypad, wired or wireless touch-screens (with/without video), universal remotes, mobile devices such as a cell phone or PDA, any PC, at home, in the office, or on the road. To learn more please contact us….
