Future House Enterprises designs and builds environmental
monitoring and control systems for homes, businesses and acerages.
Products and services include:
Home Automation systems designed to provide whole house control.
Scalability
The average 3 bedroom house requires over 300 control points to
manage ac outlets, ceiling lights, sensors, audio visual systems
and motor controllers. Large multi level dwellings often require over 1000
control points.
Future House automation systems provides full house automation for dwellings
of all sizes. The central control system can be scaled to manage several
hundred to
several thousand devices.
Integration
One of the many challenges in developing effective central control
systems relate to integration of multiple communication standards. Future House has over 30 years of research and development resulting in a design framework
that translates signals and protocols from different device types into a
central control system. This allows you to use automation products from
different manufactures while maintaining integration with core logic.
Intelligence
The ability to centrally integrate and manage so many devices and
sensors sets the Future House system apart from other home automation
designs. The central logic control can communicate with all devices as if
they were part of the same family. This allows devices to follow a common
set of attributes that establish relationships with the central core logic and or each
other. Future House home automation systems enable the true concept of a
Smart House.
Now imagine adding integration with handheld devices, ambient light,
motion, and other sensors. This sensory information combined with
event calendars and logic modules provides a truly integrated and
intelligent system. The concept of using light switches eventually diminishes.
Examples:
Walk
into a dark room, light
comes on, when room is
empty, lights go out.
Multiple switches and
control points provide a convenient means of
activating macros and group functions such as zone
dim and room
kill.
Event calendars determine when to
shift into holiday or seasonal lighting modes.
Multi-room voice recognition handles
alternate means of controlling lights and other
devices from all family members simultaneously.
LIGHTING
-
The simplest form of Home Automation
is the
ability
to control lights. Since the beginnings of being able to clap off your reading light.
The concept of automation was way cool. However, the
cool factor quickly wears out when you realize that you still have to get up
and turn off the rest of lights.
With Future House
automation
control systems you have full control of the entire house. The core
logic ties sensors and controls together so that the house can make
intelligent decisions. For example: If the house detects that no one is home
the house is placed in burglar deterrent mode by performing random lighting
routines. Automated lighting is just one of the many features provided by
Future House whole house automation.
SAFETY -
Home automation safety involves being aware of
potential dangers before they become a serious problem. Some of the
primary sources of danger include heat and water. Where's there's heat,
there's potential for fire, where's there's water there's potential for
flooding.
The Future House sensor array
uses sensors located at every source of water to provide warnings. Example: If the water heater
springs a leak. The main water line is shut off and a message is sent to your work email and phone. You immediately connect to the house web site and
investigate the alarm. Fortunately there's only
a small puddle. The Future House Automation System has taken care of the
emergency.
No one wants to
get a message that smoke is being been detected. Not so
bad if the alarm is a result of burnt toast.
But never the less if any of the smoke sensors are
triggered, the alarms are sounded and emails are
sent to designated recipients.
Most
importantly, fire safety depends on early detection of
unexpected heat sources.
The Future House safety detection system integrates smoke and heat sensors
throughout the entire house. If a problem exists
anywhere in the house, alarms are sounded and the
messaging system kicks in. Senereo2: Have you ever
wondered. "Did I leave the stove on".
Upon leaving the
house, warning alerts are sounded if heat sources
are detected in
areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
ENTERTAINMENT -
Most modern homes have a
multitude of
entertainment devices such as TV's, satellite receivers, cable
receivers, radios, DVD players and gaming systems.
All
these devices have there own remotes and individual
control
characteristics. The accumulation of
remotes and varying
ways in which to use them can cause unreliability
and confusion. Don't leave your guests wondering
which sequence of buttons to push to watch a movie
or play
a video game. How
smart is your house?
The Future House
Audio Visual
control system integrates all IR controllable
devices into a central management system that is able
to make smart choices on how to prepare AV
components for a particular setup. If grandma wants
to watch a DVD, she just presses the DVD button on
the touch panel. The TV will come
on, the stereo will switch to DVD mode, the lights
will dim, the blinds will lower and the DVD player will invite the popping
in of a DVD disk.
MECHANICAL
- Future House automation systems securely control mechanical devices. Included in this list are blinds,
vent dampers, water valves and locks.
Motorized
blinds are a convenient way to control ambient light as well as giving your house
that lived in look. Blinds are up during the day and down at night.
Quote from owner - "The living room blinds in our house have been
rising with the dawn and lowering at dusk for over 9 years now. Its
like a seasonal clock".
How
often have you wondered "is the door is locked?"
Have you ever needed to let someone in while you
were away ? Future House's Lock Management Systems
(LMS) provides secure
RFID tag access as well as secure internet access for monitoring
and controlling access to your home.
HVAC
- Enjoy perfect comfort and reduced energy costs when
interfacing house intelligence with electronic thermostats and flow
control. Monitor
heating / cooling cycles and ensure maximum energy savings.
Proliphix
TCP/IP thermostat provides browser accessible
monitoring and controls as well as interfaces to Future House automated house system. The interface
adds extra intelligence for
controlling
temperature setbacks and special heating and cooling
functions.
The
efficiency of forced air furnaces can be improved by adding vent dampers
at strategic locations. The Future House central logic determines when
zones have been unoccupied and will control vent dampers thus lowering furnace/AC energy consumption.
