The
Simplest home
automation system includes one device (like
a lamp module) and one controller (like an infrared remote control).
With this, you could turn a lamp on, dim it and turn the lamp off.
Add more lamp modules and you can control as many rooms as you
like. Nifty? Sure. Automatic? Not exactly, since you’re still
the one controlling everything manually. What’s missing is
a ‘smart’ controller. HomeSeer is that smart controller!
| Here’s what you’ll
need to get started with HomeSeer: |
| 1 |
HomeSeer software and (of course) a computer to run it on. |
| 2 |
A PC interface to allow HomeSeer to communicate with your
devices. If you’ll be using X-10 & Z-Wave devices,
you’ll need a PC interface for each technology. |
| 3 |
Devices! There are hundreds to choose from that control lighting,
HVAC, security and home theater. |
