SECURITY
HomeWorks Interactive can make a home safer by automatically turning on landscape and security lighting each night. A built-in timeclock automatically adjusts for changing seasons, as well as for daylight savings time.
HomeWorks Interactive also increases peace of mind by providing homeowners with the ability to turn all lights on instantly using a single button on a Keypad.
Every day, aHomeWorks Interactive system automatically memorizes a home's actual lighting usage patterns, which can be replayed when the homeowner is away. This unique feature allows for a realistic appearance of activity that standard timers cannot achieve.
HomeWorks Interactive can be connected to a security system to activate lights in case of an alarm. Selected lights will turn on to a predetermined security level, or flash repeatedly to attract attention. Security Mode may also be activated manually from a Keypad.
VACATION MODE
HomeWorks Interactive constantly monitors and records the state of all system devices in a home. When Vacation Mode is activated, the system plays back these events, providing a realistic appearance of activity while the home is unoccupied. The system can be programmed to record either the last day's, the last week's, or the last two weeks' activities.
CONVENIENCE
Each light in a home can be controlled from any HomeWorks Interactive Keypad, providing instant access to all areas of the home and landscape. This eliminates the tedious task of setting the home lighting just right for daily activities, bedtime, or special occasions.When most lights are off, one button on a Keypad can create a "path of light" to softly light the way to another room, allowing for late-night trips to the bathroom or kitchen without fumbling for switches in a dark hallway. And monitoring lighting in individual rooms or areas throughout a home requires no more than a quick glance at a Keypad's discrete status LEDs.
TELEPHONE INTERFACE
An optional Telephone Interface allows the homeowner to access and control up to nine different functions or events from any touchtone phone. The Telephone Interface guides the homeowner through each step with customized voice messages and provides positive verbal response when a function or event has been activated. This capability can also be utilized from telephones within the house, making any phone a convenient nine-button keypad.
ASTRONOMIC TIMECLOCK
HomeWorks Interactive allows events to occur automatically at a specific time of day or at a time relative to sunrise or sunset. Multiple schedules can be programmed, allowing for different timeclock events on weekdays, weekends, holidays, etc. Timeclock schedules can also be enabled or disabled from Keypads. Additionally, any timeclock event can be programmed using conditional logic, so the event will occur only if a specified condition is met.
POWER-FAILURE MEMORY
AllHomeWorks Interactive components are designed with 10-year power-failure memory. If power is interrupted and restored, lights will automatically return to the levels to which they were set prior to the power outage. HomeWorks Interactive system programming is retained in non-volatile memory and not affected by loss of power.
All HomeWorks systems are covered by an 8-year Limited Warranty.
In the unlikely event of a disruption of communication with the Processor, the HomeWorks® Interactive Vareo-Style Local Lighting Controls and GRAFIK Eye Preset Local Lighting Controls remain fully functional.
