HOME AUTOMATION SERVICES

For some, home automation may be as simple as automatic control of a few lights. For others, security may be the central application. Still others may choose to install advanced controllers or use voice recognition. As a very basic definition, we tend to refer to home automation as anything that gives you remote or automatic control of things around the home.

CSEC is a technology integrator. That means we are concerned with providing our customers scalable, intelligently designed systems that help increase the security, energy efficiency, comfort, and convenience of their homes. Our service includes Design, Engineering, Installation, Programming, and Training.

What can I Control?

Lighting is a great way to get involved with home automation. Create lighting moods, control multiple lights from a single switch, and automate the timing of indoor and outdoor lighting schemes.

Home Security, Camera Systems, & Access Control - An automated home provides increased security by turning your entire house into an integrated security system. Have perimeters and emergency corridors flooded with light in the event of an alert status. Monitor non-traditional security events like water in the laundry room or basement. Monitor your home camera system over the web while at the office-you can even unlock the front door remotely to let friends in or to allow a package to be placed in the garage.

Home Theater & Entertainment - Just imagine replacing that pile of remotes with just one controller. Now, imagine pressing one button and the lights dim, the curtain in front of the screen slides away, and your equipment powers up. From simple family room entertainment nooks to dedicated home theaters, we strive to provide you with the best picture and sound possible in a simple, elegant footprint that compliments your home decor. Distributed Audio and in-wall Surround Sound systems are especially popular with homeowners.

Phone Systems - Usually used for small business applications, a new breed of phone system has become surprisingly convenient in the home. With caller ID and a home automation controller you can even screen your calls for only those you wish to cause your phone to ring. Voice control software turns every phone in your home into a remote controller.

Remote Control Thermostats - Adjust your home temperature from the bed at night or even from a cell phone while on your way home from work. Remote thermostats can also trigger a notice to you if the temperature gets too low (freezing pipes) or too high (causing risk to pets, plants, etc.).

Irrigation - Have your sprinklers turn on only when it's dry. Some of our customers even turn the sprinklers on when there's motion in the yard at unwanted times - imagine someone trying to explain the wet clothes to the police!

Networking - Tie the processing power of your home computers together to allow all family members the ability to share files easily, access the internet, or work together on school or home projects.

Anything Else You Can Imagine... (Well almost anyway).
