Home Automation
Home automation systems give you the ability to automate many functions around your home such as intelligent lighting systems, home theatre, security applications, heating & cooling applications.
Imagine being able to set up you home for guests arriving by simply pushing one button, the outsise lights would illuminate, the lights in you entertainment area would come on to pre determined levels, music would start to play and environmental comfort controls would set and monitor the room temperature at the correct levels. You may want to watch a movie so one push of the button would dim the lights, close the drapes, drop down the screen and projector and the movie would start to play. Your running late still at work no one at home and want to prepare for guests, no problem simply dial into your home and instruct the home automation system to start you pre determined scenarios.
Dreaming? no this is all possible with off the shelf systems available today. Expensive? well yes it can be but it can also be tailored to suit your requirments and budget. There are many systems available and we specialise in two Clipsal C-Bus and X10. You can start small and add as you require, just want to automate security lighting or perhaps just turn on the entry lights at night when you enter you home or perhaps some simple automation for your new home theatre? This is all possible and very cost effective.

Clipsal C-Bus is a microprocessor controlled wiring system used to control lighting and other electrical services within the home or office. It acts like a hub linking your home's electrical services such as lighting and security and allowing communications between them, this is called " distributed intelligence"
Innovative C-Bus products like the Scenemaster and Touch Screen wall units, as well as "smart switches" act as the command systems for C-Bus. Using one of these products can trigger certain responses in one or more devices connected to the C-Bus network. For example, pushing one button can turn all the lights on downstairs and open the curtains.
The C-Bus network is similar to a structured wiring system and uses Catorgory 5 cabling system and is best installed during new build or rennovations. For more information please contact us or follow the link http://www.clipsal.com/cis/profile.php3

X10 Automation whilst not quite as flexible as C-Bus system it offers many similar features but has the advantage of using the homes standard electrical system to communicate with each device connected to the network and therefore requires no installation of a network cabling system. An added advantage of X10 is the availability of DIY kits which can be added to your system for little cost, find out more by contacting us.
