Synopsis

Latest Technology in Automated Home Control is an easy to follow system design, installation and programming manual. This book is a must for anyone taking a hands-on approach to automating their residence. Learn how to design, install and program powerful residential automation systems by following the 'Example Home' room-by-room, step-by-step format. This publication centers around a fully illustrated' Example Home' that realistically describes and demonstrates various methods of automating practically any electrical load found in the home. This book includes system design information required to automate both interior and exterior lighting, ceiling fans, attic ventilation fans, window coverings, air conditioning systems, pools and spas, multi-zone audio/video systems, multi-zone sprinkler systems, garage doors, property access gates, security camera surveillance systems, integrated security systems and much more! The primary intention of the 'Example Home' format is to provide the reader with a concise fast-track and easy means of learning and applying automated home control design concepts to their own personal projects. This unique whole house approach will provide basic as well as advanced design and interface methods. Realistic scenarios are also provided to help the reader understand what could be experienced during the process of automating a home. For example, at the beginning of Chapter Two, this manual describes a scenario of a system designer individual who approaches the 'Example Home' for the first time for the purpose of examining the house prior to designing the home automation system. This individual looks at the electrical loads in the home and how they are manually controlled to obtain the information required to automate these devices. The design individual also performs an X10 signal strength test and electrical noise test to potentially find any problems with the existing electrical system.
