Home Automation Melbourne Australia

There's a of talk about 'smart homes' and 'home automation', so what exactly do these terms mean? Generally speaking, home automation refers to anything that gives you control over the various technologies or 'sub-systems' found in your home; from the simple - security, lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning; to the slightly more advanced - home theatre, motorised curtains and blinds, reticulation systems and wireless PC networks.

Home Automation can be very complex but doesn't need to be. FM Security can designed a intuitive and simple system that is tailored to suit your needs.

No matter how much control integration takes place, if you can't understand, operate or feel comfortable with a home automation system, then it's not really a 'smart' home at all. FM security understands this fundamental principle and we have created a suite of products to compliment and enhance your lifestyle, not complicate it.

A true 'smart' home should be intuitive and simple to use, meaning everyone in the family can operate and enjoy the experience. The result is a 'smart' system that enhances and simplifies your life and never complicates it.

Systems that can be designed to automate:

* control of lighting so you don't come home to a dark house
* control of the front gates opening and closing
* control of home theatre equipment
* control of motorised blinds and curtains
* control of climate control
* control of security system turning on and off
* control of spinkler systems turning on an off
* control of pool pump turning on etc and all this can be done with a timer

However, the first step in home automation is to establish what you want the system to automate.
Systems start from as little as $2500-$3000 To more complex systems which reflect a more in depth pricing structure.
