Home Automation Planning Planning for full home automation can be a daunting task. It all
starts with the idea of having full control over your domain. Like many cool ideas,
they first take shape on the back of a napkin.
The FutureHouse home automation planning toolkit consists
of worksheets and device estimators for determining placement of sensors,
types of wiring, control options, costs and future planning.

Our planning toolkits assist with determining the requirements for taking
the idea from conception to design. The end result is a design document that
provides a lists materials and installers guide.
