Home automation conjures up harrowing film scenes with Julie Christie at the mercy of her husband's computer project gone horribly out of control. Cartoon fans will remember George Jetson being woken, fed and groomed by the family robot. Today, the truth lies somewhere in between the machiavellian microchip and the accommodating android. Everything to do with the household from keeping the family secure to watering the lawn can be preprogrammed and adjusted remotely.

Perhaps surprisingly, rather than increase energy consumption, total environmental control allows the home owner to actually bring their energy bills down. Reports can be created for each energy-consuming device in the home so that reductions in usage can be precisely targeted. Moreover, heating and other energy-intensive systems can be remotely controlled, so if the house is going to be unexpectedly unoccupied for any length of time, the on/off time can be adjusted accordingly.

When the residents are going to be away for any length of time, for instance, on a vacation, all household systems can be preprogrammed to run in their absence. Not only does manipulating the lighting and sound systems at different times of the day give potential intruders the impression that there are people indoors, irrigation systems can be programmed to make sure that the lawn and gardens are adequately watered.

Home maintenance systems can also be programmed to take care of routine tasks while the family is in residence. Heating can be programmed to make use of cheaper night time tariffs to heat the water. Security systems like the burglar alarm can also be automated.

Entertainment is another area that lends itself well to being automated. Relax in front of the wide screen television and enjoy a film as if you were actually in the cinema. Set up the sound system to wake you up with something bouncy in the morning and calm you down with something soothing in the evening.

Home automation is fun, affordable and environmentally friendly. It makes life easier. By taking over routine house management tasks, it frees the residents for more enjoyable and productive pastimes.
