Home Automation…Day 6

The folks from SLH Home Systems have been back working to install more elements of the home automation system in the “L” Shaped House. The first photo shows one of the alarm system keypads installed on the wall  inside the breezeway entrance. They have wired most of the door contacts and have the motion detectors and glass break sensors ready to go. We’re going to have to adjust to living in a “secure” place as we move in from our current “wide open”  house.

The next photo shows the wall plate above the kitchen desk that provides connections to both the home network and the in-house audio system. A music player docking system will connect to the RCA jacks at the bottom of the wall plate allowing us to “pipe-in” music from our i-pods (and Zune). The last photo shows the connections to the video, networking, and music systems at the base of the wall in the basement family room. This wall plate is easily the most crowded connection point in the house as it provides connections to not only the network and cable television systems but also the the surround sound speaker system in the basement ceiling.
