>> did you arrive at work today and realize you forgot to set your
house alarm? With an integrated home system, there's an app for that
— along with almost everything else.
today's integrated home systems — wireless centres that let you do
everything from turn on lights, set alarms and
adjust window shades by remote control — are
developing faster than almost all other home
enhancement areas. Homeowners can even
unlock their front door for an unexpected guest
with an app on their smartphone.
"most any facet or control system in the house
can be integrated," says elizabeth rosenberg,
vice-president of operations at the Accurate
technology Group.
"Water pumps, heating-cooling, lighting, overhead garage doors,
sprinkler systems and, on the horizon, everyday appliances can be
controlled through integration."
