Home Automation
Can you imagine living in a home where you are never too cold or too hot? Never blinded by sunlight, or wrestling with half-a-dozen remotes in order to watch a DVD? Can you imagine a home that just knows intuitively what you need and makes the adjustments for you?
The integrated, intelligent home no longer exists purely in the realm of science fiction. For today's discerning homeowner, state-of-the-art technology enabling just about every aspect of the home environment to be fully automated is not only a reality, but a must-have.
As part of the Input Group, Input Integration has been involved in designing and integrating building and production automation systems since the 1980s their extensive experience spans across a wide field of control systems working with blue-chip companies to individuals.
With their unique experience Input Integration have been able to develop solutions to provide seamless system-to-system interfacing. Their skills give Input the freedom to cherry pick the best products on the market when designing a truly intelligent home, in many cases this has enabled existing installations to be incorporated into the total intelligent home package.
Input ensures that they completely understand what the customer wants and then select the right products. Where possible, customers are given advice on up-grading or re-programming existing equipment and all new systems are designed with future developments in technology in mind so that when the time comes to up-grade, the basic infrastructure is already in place. Input Integration firmly believes that the best automation systems are simple to operate, silent and invisible, despite the very advanced technology required. The end result is an intelligently integrated system that does exactly what the customer wants reliably with the simplest operating system available.
The benefits of a fully automated home where everything from the audio system to the temperature of the swimming pool is monitored and controlled at the touch of a finger is plain to see. However, there are less obvious environmental benefits too. By integrating with a local climate monitoring system, your home can respond immediately to atmospheric conditions. For example, if the sun is shining on the South side of your house, the shutters in that area will be lowered, heating and lighting will be automatically adjusted to maintain the required levels, while simultaneously activating the solar panels to optimise the solar gain. With the environmental benefits come monetary rewards. Your home will become more energy efficient.
So once it is installed how easy is it to use?
Input Integration believe that no matter how high-spec an automation system is, it will only be as good as its programming and system connectivity. Intuitive system integration is key to simplifying programming. It is vital that the system is simple to use… after all, the whole point of the intelligent home is to make life easier.
Wherever you are in the world, you will have 24-hour access to your home. Through a secure Internet connection you can view your property to ensure everything is running smoothly and make adjustments as required. On your way home from work you can use your mobile phone to get everything prepared for your arrival: turn the sauna on, start running the bath or get your favourite cd ready to play as soon as you arrive.
Similarly your home can contact you by text or email if it has a problem. Input Integration have developed the ability to monitor individual units' performance allowing the system to flag a fault before it actually fails. For example, if your dishwasher is using too much power or not enough water.
The fully integrated, intelligent home offers you far more potential than simply the ability to pipe music and video throughout. With the correct interfacing and programming, your home will know intuitively how to respond to all environmental, social situations and reveal the true meaning of 'lifestyle'.
