What is Home Control?
3
Imagine…• Unlocking your door with the press of a button
• Lights coming on as you open the door, ‘Soothing’ music being played and hot water being heated
• A ‘command console’ as easy to use as your TV and remote control, that gives status, information, and control of the electronic/electrical devices in your home
• Access to the command console from anywhere where there is internet access
• Your home adapting its energy usage based on cost and availability of energy…without your intervention
• Receiving feedback as to the energy efficiency of appliances or the energy behavior of you home
• Knowing everything is really off when you leave your home
• Everything turning off when you tell your home “Good Night”
