Some sophisticated Home Control Systems can only be installed during the construction of a new home. This is obviously an important consideration when determining which HCS is right for you. Audio System Control - Some Home Control Systems are capable of controlling audio systems. This provides centralized control of audio networks throughout the house. Manual regulation is possible with the use of infrared remotes or keypads.
Some systems can control interior and exterior lights.
They can also be set to turn on or off automatically. Security System Control - Home Control Systems can integrate security systems. They use sensors to set security zones. When a sensor detects an intruder it relays the information to the Master Control Unit, which will then react. The systems' capabilities vary.
