The Digital Home links every residential system including lights, HVAC, curtains, and more, giving the homeowner control of virtually every electrically powered device in the home. Options open to the homeowner include:

• Structured wiring supporting phone, networking, control, and video

• An integrated Ethernet network with Firewall, DNS, and DHCP

• A lighting system utilizing user controllable scenes

• Controllable heating and cooling

• Multi-zone audio with local volume control

• Multi-room video with a wide range of sources

The challenge has been to provide a convenient, simple user interface to manage the wide range of systems. The control system must be able to understand the residential systems' software and hardware requirements. Some of the systems may be controlled by infrared signals. Others may use a simple open circuit/closed circuit protocol using relays. Therefore, the control system of the Digital Home has to be able to communicate with a wide range of protocols across a variety of cable types.

Traditional home automation is accomplished through "push button" technology that commands the residential system to turn-on the lights, change the channel, lower the heat, etc., when an event occurs. This event can be the push of a button, or programmed to happen according to the time of day, or the setting of the sun. The program can be either

• fixed with limited changes allowed,

• an expensive custom program, or

• as Destiny Networks has created, a configurable software application.

Handsfree automation is a paradigm shift in home automation. This is the next generation of technology replacing "push button” automation for the Digital Home. Unlike traditional home automation, handsfree automation utilizes an array of sensors to determine room occupancy. Knowing which rooms are occupied allows for intelligent lighting, increased security, cost effective heating and cooling, and more. Scene continuation is an added benefit. Destiny Networks' handsfree automation offers the homeowner state of the art home control that is easy to use, scalable and future proof to create the ideal Digital Home.
