HOLY texting refrigerators Batman!

Making Appliances Smarter
Before you roll your eyes and wonder why you'd want to pay more for a fridge with a built-in smartphone, consider if you have a house full of hungry, less-than-attentive teenagers running amok. After all, a technology that saves the expense of a shopping carts's worth of spoiled food because a child left the fridge door open and you were not alerted pays for itself very quickly.

Smart appliances working in conjunction with smart electric meters and you are going to change the industry and your living for the better.

Dove Mountain Custom Home

LiteSync is excited to be installing Tucson's first LiteTouch and ELAN g! system in a 7k sq ft home at the beautiful neighborhood of Dove Mountain in Marana Arizona. This seamless integration will set the bar for automated control in homes for others to shoot for. Sadly, no other single system will be able to reach it not to mention no other single contractor can bring the skills to the project like LiteSync does with our full service design/build approach.

With the beautiful and elegant LiteTouch keypad on the wall we can do the quick needed fucntion like control the large electric sliding door at the great room. Or quickly ramp fan speeds up and down, or touch one button for all the lighting to be set for a typical evening at home. LiteTouch without question puts the best occupant hardbutton keypad on the wall in the industry.

The Elan g! interface will allow the home owner to access all the control needed from his new ipad2. Or with the ELAN HR2 remote control they can turn their great room into a full functioning media room and still access all the control that any g! wall mounted touch screen offers. The g! interface is an industry game changer and we are proud to be Tucson's only active dealer designing and selling it.

Watch for pictures of this home coming soon in Tucson local magazines!

More Than Keypads

We responded to the Sounding Board of CEPro magazine related to a story they had published in their December issue about low voltage integrators selling and designing lighting control.

This response was published in their January 2011 issue. While their December story brushed in broad strokes advocating that low voltage integrators up sell more control, we responded to say that having someone whom is not trained in lighting and how occupants interface with such in a space is a failing. Having the lighting designer separate from the lighting controller is a grave failing that always leads to an inferior product.

See the story in the December and January issues of CEPro magazine.
