Possible Smart Home Connections

There are several methods for networking your appliances in your home, with some being a lot simpler and more practical than other. The type of connection you choose depends partly on your budget and partly on the strutural state of your home. The following is an overview of the choices available:

Power line- This type of connection allows the homeowner to connect appliances together through the homes own mains electrical line. X10 and Insteon make use of this kind of infrastructure.

Phone lines- Just like power lines, the infrastructure is already in place to allow for instant communication within the home and potentially phones lines could be quite a good method of home automation... because it could be used for entertainment networking amongst other things, however there are few standards to allow for this type of smart home at the moment.

Radio signals- Wireless is a much more practical solution than using any of the wired connections because it canm be installed in any home and can be controlled from a number of locations easily, as long as, you are within range. Controlling appliances through radio signals is just like controlling your television with a standard infrared remote control. Zigbee and Z-wave are two protocols that use radio signals.

Structured wiring- This kind of connection is perhaps the most reliable, however it ususally works out expensive because you would usually have to call in a professional electrician to install it for you and is only practical when designing a new home. It would not be suitable in an old or structurally unstable home.

Choose Intermatic HomeSettings Products for Affordable Home Control Reliable safety, security and convenience are no longer luxuries reserved for millionaires and tech-heads. Intermatic is a leader in developing a reliable home control system with a reasonable price point, exceptional effectiveness and real ease-of-use that integrates seamlessly into any household. About this Lighting Control Starter Kit With the HomeSettings lighting control starter kit, you can experience all the benefits of home automation for a fraction of the cost. This kit gets you started on Z-Wave lighting control, so you can manage multiple lights and appliances in and around your home. By using Radio Frequency (RF) technology, Z-Wave components require no wiring, and since each module includes a repeater function, adding more modules to your Z-Wave network actually improves the system's reliability. The Z-Wave Starter Kit includes a master controller and two lamp modules, everything you'll need to start your radio-frequency network. In case of emergency, the master remote's ALL ON/ALL OFF buttons can warn would-be intruders away, and the integrated timing functions offer a variety of options. Set the Astronomic feature and you'll never have to reset the timer for day-to-day changes in sunrise and sunset times, or take advantage of multiple time options. These options include programming possibilities that will set your lights all week, 5 days, weekends, or individual days. Or, before you leave on vacation, activate the random timing option to give your home a lived-in look. There's even an automatic Daylight Savings Time function. The master remote is easy to set up, with an attractive design which blends into any decor; you can set it on a table or mount it on a wall, whichever is most convenient. It controls up to 12 channels at once, and each channel controls up to 16 devices. HomeSettings uses advanced Z-Wave technology -- a wireless mesh network that delivers reliable control of countless applications throughout your home. This outstanding system was voted Best Emerging Tech by the editors at CNET magazine in 2006; and it's exactly the sort of home protection measure that's recommended by the Burglary Prevention Council.

Description

Convert wireless signals into powerline X10 signals. This multiple device RF base works with X10's line of RF remote controls and PIR motion sensors. Wireless X10 devices need this base unit to catch the radio signals and convert them to X10 signals on the electricity line. Add as many handheld remotes and X10 wireless devices as you want to each base. As long as the transmitters are on the same house code as the base, they will all control the same devices. Be careful to have only one RF base unit or X10 security console (which also change RF signals into X10 signals for the electricity line) per housecode. If more than one base unit is used on the same housecode, X10 signal collisions may result. The expandable RF Base includes a built-in appliance module which responds to unit codes 1 under the chosen house code. The appliance module can be controlled by wireless control or from another hardwired X10 transmitter. Like other Appliance Modules, it too is rated for 500 watts incandescent, 1/3 HP motor loads, and 15 amps resistive load (like a space heater.)

Features

  • Receives RF signals from up to 16 individual transmitters
  • * Works with all X10 Home Automation RF devices (except security sensors)
