You can have your home automation system perform and combine about any task you want, provided it is comprehensive enough and you have the right team of creative custom electronics pros to program it. You also need some creativity yourself, as well as some practicality and restraint—as in, what don’t you need the system to do? So ask yourself, what types of streamlined and quick-trigger tasks would you like to… View this story

Home control has always been about having your house work the way you want it to. Want the lights to turn off automatically at midnight? The system should do that. Want the thermostat to bump up the heat before you come home from work? That should happen as well. Want every user of the system to have his or her own customized interface, tailored to that person’s wants and needs?… View this story

2009 is coming to a close, so I thought it would be appropriate to look back at the homes I’ve featured during the year. Surprisingly, I remembered at least one interesting tidbit about each and every one, and we’re talking dozens of homes—including many winners and finalists from our annual Home of the Year Awards program. It’s hard to forget the mom who used her video distribution system to see… View this story

It’s pretty safe to say we’re all glad that 2009 is almost over and we can look ahead with some optimism. Despite the economic woes, 2009 wasn’t a total failure. There were many great products released that ran the gamut from Blu-ray players to projectors, receivers, subwoofers and more. These products revealed several trends that are expected to grow in 2010, including adoption of Blu-ray, 2.40:1 home systems, migration to… View this story

Home control is all about simplicity. You press a button and a million things happen. If you can’t find that button, though, it’s pointless to even have a system in your house. That’s why it’s so important to make sure the interface (i.e. remote control, touchpanel or keypad) you use to command the lights, thermostats, A/V gear and other devices is well designed by your custom electronics professional. It’s a… View this story

Having the lights dim is a great way to kick off a movie. Most home theater owners can do this by pressing a button on a wall-mounted keypad or handheld remote. Simple enough, sure. But in this 340-square-foot space there’s no need for the owners to touch anything—except for the doorknob—to get the lights to do their thing. The custom electronics professionals (CE pros) at Advanced Technologies in Baton Rouge,… View this story

Q What home automating system would be user-expandable to include wireless video and control? I mean to send video from the barn to the bedroom and then on to the internet. One example would be to spy on the horse, pan the camera, from either bedroom or distant office. And to also monitor the house fire alarm, refrigerator, etc., from the distant office. And all DIY. - John A. Hi… View this story
