Is it expensive?

NO. Consider the cost of a security system, programmable thermostats, dimmer switches, timers, and all of the other gadgets that you may use, and a Home Management System is little more. THEN look at the savings in A/C and lighting bills, and convenience. It more than pays for itself.

Is it complicated ?

A well planned Home Management System is as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. A good system is easier to use than what you already have. Many user control features can be easily set through your telephone using the HMS voice menu.

Is It Reliable ?

YES. This is a mature technology. They are all UL listed for fire and intrusion. They have been fielded for many years, so they are well tried and developed. They are regularly updated and most of them are in their third generation, so they are current with electronic advancements and computer and communications technologies.

Is it flexible ?

YES. They are designed and built to be fully customizable. It is easy to change their programming instructions, and systems are scaleable to grow with your needs. Besides, you still have the same manual control when you want it.

Do I need to plan ahead ?

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO PLAN AHEAD, but a HMS can be retrofitted. Whether you plan ahead or are working into an existing system, the planning phase is very important.
