 A state-of-the-art, "smart" home automation system involves the integration of mechanical and electrical control subsystems. The foundation of the system is the Ethernet-based wire and wireless LANs that function as the communications backbone for closed-loop control of the individual subsystems. A domain server (i.e. yourname-home.com) serves up web pages of real-time data content enabling the homeowner to conveniently monitor and control any of the automated subsystems. Whether you browse your "smart" home from a wall-mounted touch screen LCD monitor in the kitchen, or from your office over the Internet, the presentation of your automated home is consistent, easy to use and secure. |
