Imagine....

As you enter your driveway, a sensor triggers the Vantage system to illuminate a pathway through your home to the master bedroom. You select BATH on the bedroom keypad. The master bathroom blinds close, the fan turns on, the heated flooring adjusts to the proper temperature, and the lighting scene fades to a "relax" mode.

In the bathroom, you select your a particular play list. As you unwind, you think about your distributed audio system. No more clunky radios or stereo systems with massive speakers and dangling wires to clutter your rooms and encumber your decorating. You have the music you want where you want it. Inconspicuously.

After dinner, you decide to watch an adventure movie in your media room. The designers at the Home Automation Center explained how a media room made more sense for your family at this time than a dedicated theater room, and how a projection system was as practical as a plasma or LCD TV.

Settling into your favorite seat, you select an action movie from your dual Sony 400 DVD library neatly categorized by your Escient controller. Touch PLAY on Vantage web tablet. The lighting scene changes, the blinds close, and a 130" Stewart projection screen drops from the ceiling. Your SIM2 projector plays the movie in astounding color and definition.

The Snell 7.1 surround sound speakers, all concealed in the walls, contribute to the remarkable entertainment experience intended by the movie studio. If the doorbell rings, the system will display a video view from the front door camera on the projection screen and the lights will blink softly.  A PAUSE button will raise the lights and play your favorite pre-selected music. Your Vantage control system is operating behind the scenes, synergizing all the systems into an integrated whole.

You decide to retire to the bedroom, and pause the movie. You check the energy management dashboard for the current temperatures inside and outside and to review your energy usage.  The lighting level and HVAC changes you made a few days ago are reducing your energy usage and costs. You're doing your part.

Once in bed, you make a check on your property using a Vantage bedside remote: images from the front door, patio, and driveway cameras appear on the bedroom TV. Touching MOVIE brings back the film you paused earlier.

 

After the movie, you press a GOODNIGHT button near your bedside. The doors are automatically locked, the security system activated, the thermostat set back, the blinds closed, unwanted lights turned off, and the garage door shut, if opened. In the morning, your audio system will awaken you. Of course, your coffee will be brewed.
