Smart Homes For Dummies®, 3rd Edition |
| Danny Briere (Telechoice, Inc.); Pat Hurley (Telechoice, Inc.) |
| Smart Homes for Dummies is an across-the-board overview for consumers who want to take their home from today’s "no tech" dumb home – with its "islands of technology" (computers, phones, entertainment systems and more, none of which talk to each other and none of which can be accessed throughout the home) – into the future. Smart Homes is a book about creating the infrastructure that enables the consumer to use today’s electronics to their fullest, while future-proofing their homes so that they can take advantage of new technologies as they come to market. The book steps through each of the five major components of a "wired home:" *Home Entertainment systems: including whole-home audio and video networks and home theaters *Phone networks: including wireless, VoIP, home office and teen lines and multi-line key phone systems *LANs: wired and wireless alternatives to connecting computers, peripherals and integrating all kinds of Broadband Internet access throughout the home *Security Systems: wired and wireless home security/alarm systems *Home Automation and Control Systems: systems which both provide Jetsons-style automation and integrate the other systems discussed
