Home Automation has become so much more affordable and is no longer for the rich and famous. Truly, once you have an automation system in your home you’ll say to your self, I don’t know how I ever lived without it. For example, imagine being able to quickly see which lights are on in your whole home and turning off the ones not in use without leaving your couch or from your bedroom before calling it a night. If you can monitor energy usage you can mange your energy usage. Another example is, you are arriving home with groceries in the evening and before you even step foot in your home you can de-alarm your home, open your garage and front door, turn on the appropriate lights to guide you to your kitchen with only a few taps on your iPhone... even have your favorite music on! The possibilities are truly endless. Home automation truly does make everyday easy, especially when it is so affordable.

Living the Automated Life - Getting the 14 year-old to dinner
My friend Gordon told me this story about how Control4 automation makes his life easier:
We couldn’t get our 14 year-old daughter to the dinner table without calling her multiple times. She would be IM/Facebook chatting with several of her friends, and she’d tell us that it took a few minutes to say goodbye to each one of them.
So, I had my dealer program a custom button, remotely with 4sight, on the touch screen in the Kitchen. I called it “Computer Alarm.” The next time the same scenario played out, I told my wife to press the button. Right after the button push, our daughter came flying into the kitchen. My wife was grinning from ear to ear and saw the real power of a Control4 system.
Here’s what my dealer did:
• Used AT&T text-to-speech Internet page: Made a wave file of a British accent telling the person using the computer that it would shut down in 2 minutes and to save their work
• Flashed (Blinked the lights) with 30 seconds remaining
• At the end of the countdown, Control4 killed the power to the monitor which had been plugged into a Control4 Outlet Switch
Lots of Fun!
