Description
Home automation or smart home systems - in simple terms - provide the means to easily use and manage the complex electonic systems found in the modern home. A well designed and implemented smart home system provides quick and easy access to all electronic home systems including lighting, heating, alarm systems, security cameras, access, music, HD television, DVD libraries, computers, irrigation and much more.
Control of your house can be accomplished in several different ways. In the home, these would include in-wall touch screens, hand held remote controls, and wireless tablets. From outside the home, you can control all aspects of your house via a web browser or mobile smart phone (ie iphone, blackberry etc).
Smart home systems can be described as the glue that binds all of the other systems in the house together so that they can interact with and react to one another. For example, when a motion sensor - which is part of the alarm system - detects motion in the living room, the home automation system could instruct the lighting system to turn on several smart light switches in that room.
Today's home automation systems are reliable, versatile, and affordable. Companies such as Control4 are leading the way in this field. Please feel free to visit our Victoria showroom today so that we can show you this exciting home technology evolution in action!
Testimonials
Dear The OneTouch House,
I would like to thank Kevin and his crew at Danamira Home Technologies for the excellent service they have provided me. I was convinced by my family and builders that I NEEDED to install all this "fancy" equipment into my new home.
Having no idea what I was getting into I was very, very reluctant. The cost, the technology that I wouldn't understand. the learning something new. All this did not sit well with me. However, I can honestly say the system is one of the best things I did.
Not only is it fun to use, it is very user friendly. Best of all is the absolute dedication and determination of Kevin and his staff to create a comfort with the equipment. I called several times as I got stuck and in seconds they were able to solve my prblem over the phone.
My favorite thing is the Play List. I can create a set of songs and never have to change a CD for an evening of entertainment. Having music playing at the front dooor when guests arrive is also very special.
Anyone who is hesitating about installing this fabulous equipment should talk to me. I love it.

Kevin, Martin and Staff,
We want to thank you for your work on our recently completed home. It is not easy for a homeowner to specify and receive competitive quites on audio-visual installations due to the wide variety of options available in equipment and pricing. We were looking for a reasonably good quality system that is user friendly and would be installed and made fully functional with minimal rework and cost overrun.
This is not the first system we have had installed in homes we have built, but with 46 speakers, 9 TV's, security cameras and all of the associated equipment it certainly is the most complicated, yet it is the one we would repeat if we had it do over again. Your installation crew worked seamlessly with our builder, scheduling work around the other trades and we were very impressed with the professional way your staff worked in our home. And we met budget.
As far as functionality, the Control4 panels were easy to operate from day one, and any issues we did have were resolved easily. After using the system now for several months we are very satisfied with the design and selection of components and are convinced we received excellent value for our money.
The final product is one we are proud to show off, Thanks again
Brian and Cecilia Wagner
Tho Whom It May Concern:
Danamira Home Technologies designed and installed a complete come pre-wiring, home cinema, multi-room audio and video distribution / control system during construction of our house in 2007.
Their design took into account all of our personal requirements and enabled us to complete our home to a much higher standard than we had anticipated. In particular, we are please that the various systems are intuitive, easy to use and upgrade.
The final cost of the installation was within our budget, it was completed in schedule and to a high quality.
Danamira were always responsive ti telephone calls quickly addressed any concerns that we expressed.
We would have no hesitation in recommending them to carry our similar work.
Thank you

Martin and Kevin,
I am writing to thank you for the wonderful job you did installing our home theater. Your room design worked out perfectly. The contractor who built the room was able to follow your plans with no major changes. The result is a comfortable space that takes full advantage of the audiovisual elements. We are pleased that the equipment is either hidden or blends well with the rooms design.
The equipment itself is excellent. The sound design is incredible. We are able to feel cannons fire, and hear running water behind us, creating an immersible experience. The screen is excellent. Combined with the projector, we enjoy a crisp bright picture.
Tying it together is the remote control system. We love being able to control everything from one remote, From entering the room with the lights up and the music playing, to slowly dimming the lights to start the show, control of the room is intuitive and easy with the Control4 remote.
Despite a modest budget we feel you provided us with a superior home theater experience. The equipment you recommended, combined with your room design has worked out excellent and we look forward to using it for years to come.
Thank you
Hames Marshall
