What is "home automation"?
As a very basic definition,
we tend to refer to home automation as anything that gives you remote or automatic control of things around the home.  This may include one or more of the following types of systems:





 
                           Audio/Video             Climate                      Lighting                Security                                        Control

                           
           Central Vacuum            Backup Generators Systems



Audio/Video: Just imagine replacing that pile of remotes with just one controller. Now, imagine not having to know all 10 steps to starting up your home theater - just press the HBO icon and your home automation products/system will do the rest. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers are especially popular with homeowners as they provide beautiful sound throughout the house while adding no clutter whatsoever. In addition, a whole house audio system can include audio keypads in every room. We feature Elan g! , a market leader in home theater audio/video control. For distributed audio, we carry and install Russound, Aton and Niles products.  For a "retrofit" situation, take a look at Sonos, the finest wireless audio distribution system on the market!  If you looking for video server capabilities to store your collection of DVD's and Bluray's, take a close look at Vidabox.  With access to the leading brands in the audio/video market, Adirondack Electrical and Home Automation can help design your new media center or home theater.  Give us a call today!


Climate Control: Remote-control thermostats allow you to adjust the temperature from bed at night or even from a cell phone while on your way home (or to your second home!). They can even trigger a notice to you if the temperature gets too low (to prevent pipes from freezing) or too high (to protect your pets, plants, etc.).  Thermostats can be integrated within your whole house audio and video system or your security system.  Elan g!, 2gig Technologies and Lutron all offer options for integrating climate control into their systems.


Lighting:
Probably the most popular control category and a great way to get involved with home automation. Dim light fixtures you could never dim before, and control them from anywhere in the house (or world via the Internet).  Adirondack Electrical and Home Automation is a "certified" Lutron RadioRA2 lighting planner and integrator.  RadioRa2 is Lutron's newest home control lighting system.  We can sit down with your architect or builder and create a custome lighting plan that will fit your personal lifestyle.  RadioRa2 will work with new construction or retrofit projects.  We also feature lighting products from Elan and many other lighting companies.

Security:
Have your home call you and/or loved ones if there is an alert situation. You can save money on security monitoring services or even monitor for non-traditional security events like water in the laundry room or basement. Additionally, devices can be installed that will allow you to unlock the front door to let friends in or control the thermostat from your office or smart phone via the web.  Adirondack Electrical and Home Automation features the 2gig Technologies and DSC line of security products.

Central Vacuum:
Central vacuum systems are designed to remove all the dirt and debris from your house and send it through tubing located in the walls to a receptacle in an out-of-the-way location like a garage or basement. With central vacuums, you only carry a lightweight hose and power brush unit around the house. The power unit is permanent and out of the way. See our Central Vacuum page for more information on the brands we carry.

Backup Generators:
Power. Our lives depend on it. From everyday necessities like heating, cooling, refrigeration and lights, to daily essentials like cooking, laundry or kids’ bath times. Power outages are occurring more frequently than ever and lasting longer with devastating effects. Stand up to unpredictable weather and unforeseen outages with a residential standby generator system. If the power ever goes out, your standby generator goes on - automatically - protecting you and your home 24/7. Adirondack Electrical and Home Automation is a direct dealer for Generac Power Systems.  Check out our Generac page for additional information on stand-by generators.

What is Smart Home Technology?

What is a "smart home"? A Smart Home is one that provides its home owners comfort, security, energy efficiency (low operating costs) and convenience at all times, regardless of whether anyone is home.
"Smart Home" is also the term commonly used to define a residence that has lighting, heating, air conditioning, TVs, computers, entertainment audio & video systems, security, and camera systems that are capable of communicating with one another and can be controlled remotely by a time schedule, from any room in the home, as well as remotely from any location in the world by phone or internet.

An  important feature of a smart home is conservation of the earth's limited resources. More and more people are becoming aware of the ability to make their homes truly smart — and green — by utilizing home controllers integrated with all home sub-systems to increase savings by controlling lighting, window coverings, HVAC, irrigation and by monitoring usage. Many home controllers have built-in monitoring systems whereby they calculate and log usage by all connected devices, giving the home owner heightened awareness and the knowledge to make changes as necessary. These systems can even be accessed over the Internet from anywhere in the world so the homeowner can adjust consumption any time, anywhere.

The smart homes built by T. Ovitt Contracting will be fully automated by Adirondack Electrical and Home Automation and will include the following options:

  • Security system with remote monitoring
  • HVAC/Climate control with remote monitoring
  • Centralized lighting with remote monitoring
  • Whole house audio system (choice of a number of manufacturers)
  • Central vacuum system
  • Standby generator system
  • Dedicated media room or home theater
