A remarkable world of home automation can now be yours with Custom Command Systems. Complete, integrated control of security, lighting, heating and air conditioning, and audio/video is possible through a single, easy-to-use color touch screen.

Floor plans, pictures, calendars, time lines, and "pop-up" menus clearly guide you through any operation. VCR programming is unbelievably simple. To enjoy music from a compact disc in the master bedroom, you merely "drag" a picture of the CD player from your audio system to the master bedroom shown on the floor plan. The icon of the CD player now appears in the bedroom and the music automatically begins.

Consider the extraordinary advantages of integrated home automation in the following example. In the unfortunate scenario of a fire, the comprehensive integration of home systems allows the following sequence of events to happen automatically!

  • The location of the fire is announced over your flush-mounted audio speakers throughout the house, and is displayed visually as a flashing zone on a floor plan of your home on all touch screens. This spoken and pictorial warning lets you know instantly where to go for safety.
  • Linked to your telephone system, a call for help is placed to your monitoring service.
  • To help you see your way out of the house, all inside lights are turned on.
  • Exterior lights flash to assist the Fire Department in locating your house.
  • Air conditioning systems shut down all blowers to prevent the spread of deadly smoke.
  • Finally, the systems logs the date, time and zone where fire was first detected, providing the Police and Fire Departments with an accurate record of the event.

The future ... available now.
