A
new large property of over 300 sqm completed in
the year 2000 was pre-wired
|
| to
accept the IDRATEK network. In 2001 one of the first
IDRATEK networks was |
| installed
which provided full control of heating, lighting and
security. |
| |
| Twelve
separate heating zones were managed which meant rooms
which were |
|
infrequently used, would automatically fallback to
a lower temperature to save |
|
on heating bills. |
| |
| One
feature the client particularly liked was the ability
for different audio chimes |
| to
be played around the home in response to different
external doors being |
| opened
or closed. This enabled the client to remain aware
of such activity |
| despite
the property size. Similarly the door bell chime would
be played around
|
| the
property and was therefore always heard. Though such
features might be
|
| considered
trivial to some, it should be noted that they become
automatically
|
|
available for no extra cost as a result of the integrated
structure.
