Without the correct wiring and home network system in your new home you will not be able to take advantage of the emerging technologies of tomorrow - so talk to us today!
Home Network Guidance
The following points are a guidance for you to bear in mind when cabling for a whole new home network. Consider the locations where you might require services in the future and network cable accordingly. This is extremely important for items such as CCTV's which are likely to be at different positions and heights to other outlets. This consideration also applies to other networks items such as wall mounted Plasmas and LCD's, also remembering, that beside the data cable they also need a power supply.
Structured Wiring or Cabling
One Touch Home Automation Solutions philosophy is to use the cable, specially designed for home networks and which supports the best signal. Cat 5E or Cat 6 for data and communication, a physical foam co-axial for analogue digital or cable TV and high quality 79 strand speaker cable for audio. We also have a solution if the premises have only be pre cabled in data cabling. Research into the North American home network market, where they have a much longer history of home structure cablings supports our home network philosphy.
Multi Room audio
When considering multi room audio bear in mind that you need in addition to a multi room amplifier, a wall network controller in every room that you require control. The Open House Structured Wire Systems multi room amplifier allows you to control up to six sources of input - i.e. CD, VCR, DVD, tuner etc - to six network zones, or rooms, for each multi room amplifier expandable by 6 or 12 further network zones. All of the source equipment is controlled through the network by wall controllers in each room and/or by remote controllers.
Each and every network zone has complete control or all functions of any item of source equipment fully and independently of any other network zone, whilst simultaneously other rooms networked have complete control of any other source equipment. Alternatively, all the networked rooms can play from one source i.e. in party mode, but even then the sound can be controlled independently. You will need a pair of speakers in each room on the network. We would recommend a pair of ceiling speakers and a wall controller for each zone specified. We also are able to oofer intelligent multi source remote controllers to control all your entertainment equipment from one remore controller.
Scene - Mood Setting
If you are considering scene or mood setting lighting this needs to be considered and planned early as it is not included in the orthodox ring main lighting. Home Automation Solutions would be pleased to quote for scene setting lighting but would need your lighting layout showing light positions wattage and number of circuits.
Custom Install
For a higher level of network home automation than the above, or, if you are considering a central home processor such as Crestron or Lutron Home Works you are reaching a much higher level of sophistication and should be considering a custom install. One Touch Home Automations are pleased to offer our expertise in this field and have completed many projects of highly sophisticated levels of home network automation and entertainment.
