For Apple iPhone or iPod Touch users, many of our systems feature apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to control all aspects of your system from wherever you have a data connection. Control music volume from the backyard, or adjust your climate control system before you arrive home.

Our touchpanels interface with your home’s surveillance and alarm system, allowing you to arm the alarm, see zone status or even view and control any camera on the system from the touchscreen or via the internet.

Adjust the temperature of your pool or spa before you even set foot in your backyard. You’ll also have control over the safety of your pool, such as lights and motorized pool covers, right from any touchpanel inside your home.

When the pool is in secure mode, if there is any movement in the water we can trigger an alarm to alert the home owner in seconds.

EcoManor Demo

The goal of the EcoManor project is to promote “green” building and to provide a tool to educate homebuilders, homeowners and vendors. The TPMC-15L is the focal point of the system, monitoring systems such as electricity, geo-thermal energy, and water, and also displaying current energy usage, energy and water flows, total consumption, money spent and return on investment figures in real-time. EcoManor is a 2006 EH Home of the Year award-winner.
