The
Domain Controller running the Ubiquity™ software application provides
the total solution for "traditional” automation - also known as “push
button” automation. Traditional automation enables you to monitor and
control the devices and components in your connected home from multiple
user interfaces. Traditional automation is especially useful for controlling
a home theater where one simple button can turn on and setup multiple
audio/video components and other devices in the room so that you can easily
enjoy your theater experience. For example, pushing the DVD button on
the Destiny Network’s remote control could:
Turn on the DVD player,
Turn on the A/V receiver,
Set the input of the
A/V receiver to the DVD player
Set the speaker output
of the A/V receiver to surround sound,
Turn on the video processor,
Set the video mode
of the video processor to anamorphic,
Turn on the projector,
Lower the drop-down
screen,
Dim the lights to a
nice TV viewing level, and
Close the curtains
to eliminate glare on the screen.
It can do all this with just one button.
The Domain Controller running the Ubiquity™ configurable software application
provides the capability to monitor and control most home electronics including:
home theaters, whole house music, lights, windows, fans, curtains, fireplaces,
keypads, gates, fountains, heating and air conditioning, and other electronic
components.
Of equal importance, it gives you a simple Graphical
User Interface of your home with which to monitor and control everything
in it. The rooms of your home are displayed on networked PCs in the Floor
Plan View and a quick glance at any browser-based display will give you
immediate knowledge of which rooms have their lights turned on and which
do not. Each room of your house will be in one of six Room
Scenes. You may be familiar with high end lighting systems that offer
lighting scenes in which the push of a single button determines the brightness
level of multiple circuits of lights. Destiny has extended this concept
to include the ability to control all of the devices in a room with the
Room Scene. For example, the Room Scene can set the lighting level of
multiple circuits of lights, close the curtains, turn on the fireplace,
play your favorite music, etc.
The Graphical User Interface displays a great deal of information in
a relatively small area, but often it’s not practical to have a computer
screen next to you all the time. Therefore, Domain Controllers respond
to lots of other types of devices such as keypads, light switches, and
remote controls. You do not need a computer to turn on the lights; nor
to turn on the TV, for that matter.
