The modern home is no longer just four walls and a door. With the growing interest in ease of use for everything using modern technologies, many homeowners have become interested in home automation. From garage door openers and remote light

From garage door openers and remote light switches to automatic heating and cooling systems and remote monitoring of security, the options available to automate the home are many.

With the growth of these automation systems, there has also been a growing interest in universal remote controls as well as central control circuits.

Some automation features and products do not come with simple to use controls that are easy to navigate, while others offer at-a-glance functionality that makes them easy to integrate into any household.

Because of this, many homeowners are turning to a central control unit that allows owners to modify the heat, air conditioning, window coverings, fans, and electronics. With such an expansive marketplace for home automation controls, users and buyers must be informed about the many controls on the market before they make a purchase.
