We have all heard about Home Automation.  But does it really means living like the Jetsons?  And what exactly is "Systems Integration"?

In the 21st Century, it is possible to automate just about any of the activities taking place in and around a home.  Most commonly, systems like lighting, heating/cooling, shades/drapes, pool/spa, and access can benefit from automation.  Automation allows for the scheduling or remote control of these systems.  If you arrive home at 6pm in the evening, the house can be programmed to light the house exterior, create a path from the Garage to the Kitchen, and lower the home temperature automatically.  When its movie time in your Theater Room, the shades can lower to block out the sunlight as the room lights lower to complete the movie experience.  Have you ever had a guest waiting at your house door because you were tied up in traffic?  Think to yourself how nice it would be to use your cell phone to call home and unlock the door so they can wait inside.  The possibilities are endless.

Systems Integration doesn't necessarily require any level of automation, but they do many times go hand in hand.  Systems Integration is taking all the separate systems in your home and allowing them to communicate and work together.  Of course this communication can lead to additional possibilities for automation.  But, more importantly, it can help remove redundancies especially when it comes to control interfaces.  It is not uncommon to find rooms in a house with separate controls for lighting, heating/cooling, security, motorized shades/drapes, distributed audio/video, pool/spa, and intercom.  All these boxes littering the walls is neither overly attractive or ergonomic.

Systems Integration allows for eliminating these separate controls with a single easy to use room control.  One wall-mounted touchscreen could provide control of lighting, audio/video, heating/cooling, security, pool/spa, as well as allow for viewing surveillance cameras, talking to visitors at the front or throughout the house, and even unlocking the front door.  Less clutter, more convenience, elimination of system duplication.  This is Systems Integration.
