Lighting Control. Lighting sets the perfect scene and creates the desired ambience for any occasion. Whether it's movie night, an intimate dinner for two, a business party or a quiet Sunday brunch reading the newspaper, lighting establishes the right mood.


Traveling out of town or working late? The lights can execute pre-programmed scenes to simulate established lifestyle patterns. Dimmers can adjust internal lighting according to natural light levels in the home or incrementally over a pre-determined time period. Motion monitors and other sensors can turn lights on or off depending upon sunlight or occupancy

Climate Control. No need to get up or even be home to adjust heating or air conditioning. With home automation controls, you can monitor and adjust multiple zones from one location and easily pre-set temperature and humidity set points. Keep your home at a more energy efficient temperature while you're out, and programmed to automatically adjust to more comfortable levels by the time you get home. Getting home early? Use your PDA or PC to control the HVAC remotely, even monitor the wine cellar or greenhouse atrium temperatures

Shade & Drape Control. Shade motor controls puts total control of your environment at your fingertips. Conveniently adjust all the shades or drapes in the house or around the conference room with the press of a button.


Automatically close the drapes at night for privacy or adjust the shades during the day to protect furniture and artwork from harmful direct sunlight. Block direct sunlight during the summer and allow natural light in during the winter to keep rooms comfortable and reduce energy costs throughout the year.


Starting a presentation or watching a movie, push a single button to turn on the AV devices and automatically lower the shades to reduce glare on the displays and maximize visibility.

Home Theater & Distributed Audio Video Control. Enjoy music and video throughout the entire home or in just the room you choose. Experience a movie with digital surround sound. Listen to your jazz CDs while you read in the den while the kids play video games in the media room and your spouse listens to the radio on the terrace.


Control the music of your life from any room in the house – no need to walk to the stereo to choose a component, select a CD, change tracks or adjust volume. Relax. You deserve it.
