Lighting Systems and Home Automation: Lutron HomeWorks with HomeServe
Home lighting automation uses radio frequency in lieu of traditional wiring shedding light on expanded possibilities for lighting control systems.
(PRWEB) April 26, 2005 -- Imagine that everywhere there is a light, you have
the ability to control it, precisely and elegantly – on, off, or anywhere in
between. Think about how you use your light during the day. You may prefer the
light softer in the morning and brighter for tasks such as putting on makeup and
choosing your wardrobe.
HomeWorks lighting systems offer infinite
variations of light levels to set a mood, to guide you from one place to
another, to add a highlight or low light to any part of your day. A HomeWorks
owner will tell you that once you’ve experienced total home lighting control,
you’ll never again settle for the limitations of on and off.
HomeWorks
can also be a major part of your home security system. As you pull up to the
house, no matter what the hour, you can rest assured. Just touch your HomeWorks
car visor remote and the lights at key entry points inside the house, as well as
outside each entrance, turn on brightly.
The HomeWorks lighting system,
once reserved only for new homes, can now be part of any primary residence,
luxury apartment, vacation home, or even yacht.
Technological
advancements open the possibility for installations in older and historic homes
as well as simple add-ons to existing homes or renovations. These advancements
offer an unprecedented level of convenience and simplicity of installation,
revolutionizing the notion of total home lighting control systems.
A slew
of companies offer lighting control, but none matches the versatility of
Lutron’s HomeWorks Interactive. The name is not new, but HomeServe, the latest
component, enhances the system’s flexibility by integrating for the first time
wired and wireless control. In structures already wired with HomeWorks, an
installer can use HomeServe to increase or upgrade the system’s capabilities to
incorporate a new home theater or expand existing lighting scenes in the
kitchen, for example.
HomeWorks uses traditional wiring when it is
feasible, but instead of an installer’s having to tear into walls for upgrades
and additions, the system uses radio frequencies in lieu of wires. HomeServe
also works with Lutron’s popular vacation mode, which automatically records what
lights you use and when. Then, when you are away, it replicates usage patterns
based on the previous day, week, or longer.
