Home Control / Automation and Monitoring

Home Control is a growing field of products and software that you can install yourself to control, automate and monitor almost every electrical device in and around your home.
You can Control, Automate and Monitor your entire home and yard with any mobile internet enabled mobile device from anywhere in the world WITH NO MONTHLY SERVICE FEES.
The most attractive aspect of a home controller is the feeling you get when your home comes alive and starts doing things you need it to do when you need it to do them.
If you are looking to sell your home, a home controller is the easiest and way to add thousands of dollars of value to your home quickly and easily.
Before you get locked into a contract or pay thousands a year in monthly fees to those big companies, please check out our cost comparison guide here and see how much money you can save with a monthly fee free home control system from 007 Systems.

These new Home Control Automation and Monitoring Systems (CAMS) are mostly wireless, like your WIFI, so there is no tearing up the carpet or making holes in your walls.
A Home CAMS consists of four main categories. 
  1. Controllers. A controller is a small device about the size of a stapler that is plugged into power and your router.
    The controller is the brains of the system. The controller is where you set up rules that the controller will follow when certain situations arise. (Automation)
  2. Sub Controllers. Are controllers that are controlled by the main controller but also control other devices like a garage door or your A/V Equipment.
  3. Controlling Device. A Controlling Device is a device that allows you to control your accessories. You do this verbally with your voice or tapping on a screen or pressing buttons on a remote. if capable, they also give you, the user a visual display of what is going in, on around your home. A controlling device is usually a mobile device like a tablet or smart phone or a computer or something new like an Amazon Echo or an Amazon Dot.
  4. Accessories. Accessories are small devices that are usually wireless that either do one or more of these functions;
    -Controls another device like a light. 
    ​-Senses something in the real world and relays that information to a controller like a motion sensor or a door sensor or thermostat.
    -Move mechanically or do something like unlock your door or open and close a valve.
If you are a bit confused as to where to start, we always recommend getting a controller first and adding on to your system as you go. Our controllers start at less than 100 dollars. If you want to save even more money, try looking at our kits if you know you want a door lock or control a thermostat or any other other of the features of our kits.
If you still have questions, feel free to read below or contact us and discuss it.
​Below are details about each of these components.

Controllers

The home controller is the heart of any home Control Automation & Monitoring System (CAMS). 
The controller is a device about the size of an eyeglass case that plugs into your router. It uses very little electricity and is very reliable.

The controller also has a built in web server so you can monitor all of your home functions live and at any time from any computer or smart mobile device. It can also also be programmed to control all of your homes accessories automatically, 24 hours a day, with NO internet connection needed to operate.

These controllers and their apps also have Geofencing features that enable the controller to tell if no one is at home, and then do things like, arm the alarm, close the garage door, turn off all of the lights and turn off the AC or heater. Similarly when you return it will disarm the alarm turn the lights on at the porch and more. All automatically. Without you ever thinking about it.

We recommend and offer battery backup devices to keep the unit running temporarily while there is a power outage.
With a battery backup, there is almost nothing that will stop the controller from doing it's job.

  • They also give you the ability to totally control your Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system.
  • Now that your home controller has the ability to talk to your thermostat you can program your controller to automatically do things like automatically heat when it gets too cold, turn off if there is smoke or CO in the home, and my favorite, preheat or precool the house when you come home.
Water Supply
  • learn how to turn off the water coming into your home automatically when there is a leak.
  • Prevent a leak in the first place by automatically turning off the water when the outside temperature reaches a certain temperature.

The Z-Wave Platform

Z-Wave+ is the wireless platform these devices use to communicate with each other.
The great part about wireless accessories, Z-Wave in particular, is that the more accessories you add to your system, the better and stronger the signal gets. Most plug in or installed Z-Wave components are both a transmitter and a receiver meaning they relay signals to the next component. So the more components, the bigger and stronger your Z-Wave net (ZNet) gets.

What does this mean to you? Well, this means you can add components pretty far away from the controller as long as there are other Z-Wave relay components in between the furthest component and the controller.

All Z-Wave networks have a unique ID that is assigned to every device in the network, and that ID is different for every hub so your neighbor’s hub can’t control your devices.
When an extra level of security is needed, such as for door locks and other high security devices, Z-Wave has another level of security which uses AES128 encryption at the same level that major banks use to protect financial information. Z-Wave AES encryption is supported by most Z-Wave hubs today and is required on all hubs with the Z-Wave Plus mark on them.

You can customize your system do do anything you need.

If you are here looking for a kit to do a specific task like water control or security, you might want to take a look at our kits. They combine parts that work well together and save you money.

We also install, advise and service security, audio/video equipment and low voltage wiring.
