New Technologies - Wireless Home Automation

It's a new day in your house...or it could be.

Wireless Home Automation technologies have struggled to achieve success, but the future appears very bright indeed! Four years ago, our industry predicted huge success for the leading wireless home automation standard, ZigBee, calling the technology a sleeping giant. ZigBee is a wireless networking protocol designed for applications such as lighting & climate control, security, as well as audio & video.

Why a Smart Home is a Smart Idea

Wireless products can be installed in any home in just a few hours, without the need for extensive or expensive renovation or remodeling. Companies such as Control4 offer incredibly affordable wireless home automation systems, and are now applying major pricing pressure to the more established luxury home automation vendors like Creston and AMX. Home Automation used to be an expensive, new-home-only, complicated proposition. Control4 has changed all that. Those home-automation systems could typically cost over $75,000. But now, prices have come down industry-wide to the $10-000 to $15,000 range! Couple that with the savings that can be realized makes Wireless automation a very worthwhile investment!
