FAQ

What is Home Automation?
Home Automation can mean different things. To our clients, it means a truly integrated home where a central processor or computer communicates with subsystems:

  • Audio
  • Video
  • Digital Media
  • Thermostats
  • Lights
  • Security
  • Irrigation
  • Pool & Spa Controls
  • Video Cameras

The operation, control, management and monitoring of the systems are easily accessible from remote controls, PCs, iPhones, touch screens or other user interfaces. The automation system is the 'heart and brains' of a home's system, providing complete local and remote access and control, simultaneously reducing energy consumption and lowering utility costs.

What is Distributed Audio & Video?
Through careful planning and execution, Automated Lifestyles reduces the number of provider boxes, relocates them to a central location, then distributes all Audio, Video and Digital Media to every display—providing users with total access and control.

How much does this all cost?
In Illinois and nearby states, a completely integrated home can be achieved for less than 5 percent of the total cost of the home. Everything we do is custom—designed around your lifestyle, within your budget and to fit your every need.
