Control all of your home's systems from a single location. The Cortexa automation control system turns the dream of living in an automated home into reality, at a truly affordable cost. This complete hardware and software solution can control all eight subsystems in your home: lighting, security, A/V, HVAC, irrigation, garage doors, and surveillance, since the system has integrated four-channel video for analog cameras (sold separately). The Cortexa Controller may be accessed and controlled from any web browser connected to the Internet, so whether you're across town or on the other side of the world, you can check in on the status of your connected devices and adjust the temperature or turn off lights. For in-home access, control options include an in-wall touchscreen (available in black and white), a Mobile tablet, a TV interface, and even your Pocket PC PDA. Just add the subsystem devices, such as light switches, thermostats, or your whole-house audio system. Control is accessed through a simple user interface complete with user-defined favorite buttons for one-click execution of any device or event. There is no need to learn a programming language to set up lighting scenes, adjust the temperature, access surveillance footage, or set any other action or series of actions. Valid selections are presented in simple drop-down boxes, so even complex events involving multiple subsystems can be set up in minutes. The Cortexa Controller even has a built-in router for controlling your home network. Real-time weather updates are sent to the Cortexa via the Internet from your nearest weather station, so you can see detailed weather information through the user interface and incorporate this data into events. For example, your irrigation system can include current wind speed and recent rainfall data to ensure watering takes place only when required. Add additional devices or even subsystems at any time in the future, as your needs grow or budget allows. The Cortexa Controller is compatible with a wide variety of manufacturers' systems and products
