This book offers standalone and integrated solutions designed to enhance saftey, comfort, and convenience in every room of your house. Whether you want to equip your home with motion detectors for added security, install computer-controlled lights for optimum convenience, or mount an in-home web cam or two purely for entertainment, you can now achieve the automated home of your dreams. Learn how to: turn on lights automatically when you enter a room, when the sun sets, or only when they're needed; send reminders of important events to your cell phone, email account, or pager; alert everyone in the house with chimes or voice announcements; monitor the driveway, mailbox, refrigerator door, or litter box for activity; motorize your window blinds; automate your sprinkler system, tailor its schedule to the weekly forecast, and make it stop watering during rainstorms; check for an empty home and see who's home while you're away; and control your home from a web browser.
