Home Tour: The Master Bedroom Technology

The tour will begin facing the entry door to the bedroom . If you click-and-hold your mouse on the image, then move your mouse to the right, you'll open to the main area of our bedroom. If you drag to the left, see the double doors that go out to our patio, then our bathroom door and on to the dresser.


In the picture above:

  • Left inset (items clockwise, from top): The NOAA Weather Alert clock radio advises us of tornados and bad weather. The iPAQ has remote control software that can control every home entertainment device in the entire house. The cordless phones have a built-in intercom and room monitoring system that allows us to communicate around the house or around the world.
     
  • Right inset: Our wireless laptops can control every aspect of the home automation system via a special web page (directly below), as well as perform vehicle tracking and messaging (second picture below).

This is the homepage for our home automation system. As you can see, one page shows all relevant information, including house temperature, mode, and last phone call information. Subsections allow us to control individual devices, HVAC, music and other automation systems around the house.


 

From anywhere in the world, messages can be sent directly to my vehicle. Because this page is about our "bedroom tech," I've mocked-up a message that might be sent from the bedroom. Additionally, an address could be sent which will redirect my GPS system directly to the pharmacy, if the user desires.
