Control at your fingertips

Home automation systems can do anything from controlling a home theatre system to monitoring your security system and controlling your lights. But if you need a licence to drive the system, it's of no real use at all.

South Island Home automation specialist Strawberry Sound has made ease of operation one of its main priorities.

Christchurch branch managing director Phil Ward says that whilst behind the scenes programming may be rather complex, the net result has to be that the end user can still easily use the system.

Simple, easy-to-recognise symbols help to make operation easy. A front menu has icons for systems such as TV, audio, or drapes. Touching the TV symbol takes you through to the actual TV logos for each station.

Each home automation system is custom-designed for individuals, so they get exactly what they want from their home automation system.

The company completes automation for new homes, and they are also able to retro-fit systems.
