Perhaps there is no area where Camelot Construction stands higher above the crowd than in home automation. Imagine being able to see your front and back door at any time from your wireless palm pilot. Did you remember to shut the garage door as you drive away from your home, no need to turn around, just use your cell phone to call the house and tell it “Close the garage door.” Would you like your home to send you an email when the kids arrive home from school, no problem. What about the debate of Swamp Coolers vs. Refrigerated Air, why not have both and have your home automatically select which one will work better on any given day? How about a motion detector in every room that sets back the thermostat in that room when it’s unoccupied in order to save energy. The owner of Camelot Construction – Steve Alschuler – is a licensed Mechanical Engineer with 15 years experience in controls and instrumentation prior to home building. Steve has taken his knowledge and experience from working on projects at Intel and Los Alamos, and now applies this knowledge and experience to residential construction. This allows a level of home automation you simply have to see to believe.

Imagine coming into your home and announcing through the intercom “I’m home.” The home computer speaks back to you in a synthesized voice welcoming you home, announcing any phone calls while you were out, turning on the lighting in select rooms and changing the thermostats in the house to “occupied” to make the home more comfortable. In addition, the home tells you the real time price of your favorite stocks, and asks if you would like to have a bath prepared for you in the Master Bathtub. The home speaks to you in a male or female voice of your choosing, and can even be programmed to have an English accent. You speak back in plain English, and you and your home literally have a conversation. Tell your home to “turn on the sprinklers,” “Play jazz in the bedroom” or “Run my bath” and the home does what you command, all the time speaking back to you in plain English. Later in the evening you tell your home “I’m going to bed” and let the home shut off all the lights throughout the house, setback the thermostats, and arm the security system. Sound too good to be true? Every home Camelot Construction builds is pre-wired for this capability, and for a nominal upgrade fee you can have this level of automation in your dream home. If you would like to see a working home which has this capability today, call or email us to schedule a demonstration.
