~ The One Button Home ~
by Automated Sound

 

A single touch plate in any room of the home

controls all other lights and appliances

in the home!

 

 

You're in the bedoom and realize the garage light was left on? No problem! Turn it off from the same touch plate in your bedroom that controls the bedroom light!

Or you left the stereo on in your front room. Turn it off from the kitchen!

ANY touch plate in any room controls the light or appliance in any other room! And no, this touch plate is not a typewriter keyboard -- just a small metal button about the size of a penny!

~~~~~~~~

Touch plates are non-mechanical, so they never wear out. All electronics are located in a plug-in module at the light or appliance.

More than one touch plate can be attached to the control line; thus, many touch plates can control the lamp or appliance at several locations in the room.

Additionally, each room light can be turned on or off by an internal timer -- even on a certain day of the week. Or, a "lived-in" look can be had by random on and off operations of a room light during the normal evening hours.

Extremely low power consumption .... an entire system with 50 attached units draws but 5 watts. Truly, the light system of the future.

So, ... how does it work?
