At Home Systems we have a simple approach to home automation. There are many aspects of the home that can be automated, for example, lighting, audiovisual equipment,
air conditioning, under-floor heating and irrigation to name but a few. The heart or “brain” of an efficient home automation system is the central controller which communicates with the secondary control devices such as light dimmers, geyser switches, wall outlet power points etc.
The question then is why would you want to automate your home and what are the benefits?
Convenience is undoubtedly the major benefit of home automation. A good control system should offer simple ease of use. A number of convenient scenarios can be created, for example on entering your home a simple series of programmed commands can ensure your way is lit as you move from room to room. A “bedtime” program could switch off all but your security lights and arm your alarm system. Scenes to monitor and control underfloor heating and
air-conditioning can be effortlessly programmed. The systems scheduler can be set to control irrigation systems, pool pumps and motorized blinds, etc.
Intuitive Home Theatre and Music Distribution Control throughout the home can be done with a single remote control or via touch screens. Devices can be programmed to switch on when you enter the room together with the lights and turn off when the room is unoccupied.
Surveillance & Security Systems such as alarm and CCTV camera’s can be programmed to alert you of intruders via your cell phone or email when you are away from home. These systems can also be remotely accessed and monitored to give you full control of your home security. When at home scenarios can be programmed to alert you of someone at your front door and allow you to see who it is via your television set.
It's Easy to be Eco with Home Systems.Energy-saving is another valuable benefit of home automation. Lights switching on as you enter and off as you leave a room ensures that no lights are left on unnecessarily. Other utility systems such as geyser, airconditioning and underfloor heating can be monitored and controlled to minimize electricity consumption.

These are just a few examples of what can be achieved with home automation either wirelessly or with structured wiring. Once you have the control devices installed, the systems can be programmed specifically to your requirements. There are many user interfaces available, such as mobile touch screens, in-wall touch screens, LCD keypads and remote controls.
