What is home networking/home automation?
Home networking and home automation are catch phrases that mean different things to different people. As of yet, there is no universal definition of these terms. When CEDIA members talk about home networking and home automation, they are referring to the ability to integrate televisions, lighting, home entertainment, sound, heating controls, home security systems and many appliances and other systems through a centrally-controlled network. These systems are custom-designed and allow the homeowner the convenience, time-saving and cost-saving benefits of controlling electronics through a central control, or even remotely. Many think of home networking as simply connecting PCs. While this is a growing segment, it’s only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what can be connected in a home. CEDIA members are on the cutting edge of connecting electronics systems for consumers. And more consumers are demanding the benefits of connectivity – both in convenience, safety and as a lifestyle enhance
