As you enter an eHome the touch panel display allows you to disarm the security system, set the mood with preset lighting scenes, turn on the filtered home water system, select audio tracks, turn on your fireplaces, check the weather and view what's on tv. You can even monitor all your home systems, including the climate controls. The smart thermostat emails a service technician for required maintenance, maintains the humidity levels and monitors the temperature in 4 living zones. Motion detectors circulate hot water anticipating your needs while the astronomical clock raises and lowers the shades according to the sun’s position. Telephone systems allow for paging and conferencing, while muting the distributed audio that is played throughout the home. A single wall plate contains eight engraved buttons that controls or dims lighting in each of the living areas. Video cameras keep you informed about activities around the home utilizing any monitor or touch panel. Plasma TV’s are mounted to be viewed at bedside or while you soak in the whirlpool. Pre-wired for fiber optics, eHome will keep your living experience in step with 21st century electronic innovations.
