About this title

About the Author:

He became interested in residential automation system in 1985 and has been researching this industry ever since. He designed his first residential automation system for his own home in 1987 and after automating the majority of the electrical loads in the home, he continued to gain hands on experience by automating the homes of family members and close friends. After a number of years it became second nature to him when it came to automating any electrical load in a home. This allowed him to venture out into the real world and design numerous whole house automation systems for high-end homes during the mid 1990s and has continued to do so during the more recent building boom. He continues to research the industry for new and reliable home control technologies alone with the latest design and installation methods. He uses this information to periodically update his publications and will continue to do so for many years to come.
