How to Future Proof Your Home
®
Preparing a home for the next generation of technology doesn’t have to be an ordeal...it just takes creative wiring. It takes Honeywell’s structured solutions.
Wired for the Future This house demonstrates some of the ways appliances and electronics can work together using Honeywell’s structured wiring system. Want to learn how a smart home works? Here’s how.
Honeywell’s intelligent structured wiring systems provide seamless, integrated control of security, cable and satellite TV, audio and video, the Internet, telephone, lighting and HVAC. Honeywell’s system is the first of its kind to bundle cables, distribute them throughout the house and tie them to a central panel. The mechanics of the distribution panel are a lot like a telephone switchboard of the past. You simply connect the service desired – be it telephone, entertainment or computer networking – to the room of the house where it is needed.
The diagram to the right shows how this sophisticated, upgradable and surprisingly affordable system contains everything you need to Future ®
Proof your home, making sure it’s wired for today’s world and tomorrow’s advancements.

1. Temperature control is effortless whether you are at home or on the road. Using an outdoor sensor to report weather conditions, your system can automatically adjust the temperature indoors. A programmable thermostat can send a message to your cell phone if the temperature changes rapidly, indicating a broken air-conditioning or heating system. 2. For the ultimate in convenience, the television in the master bedroom can show a movie from the VCR or DVD player in the family room, eliminating the need for additional players. 3. Satellite, cable and off-air antennas are routed to the distribution panel through a common point. No matter what service you choose, you can direct TV signals to any room in the house from a single connection. 4. Home computers can be networked to share the same Internet line, files and printers – enabling simultaneous online access for your family. You can even monitor your children’s usage with parental controls installed on select computers. As an added benefit, you’ll eliminate the cost for additional Internet services and equipment.
5. Strategically placed cameras can broadcast pictures to any TV screen, providing an added level of security. Checking on the baby is as easy as changing the channel. You can even view these cameras at your office for added peace of mind. 6. When a visitor rings the doorbell, all programmed phones – whether land lines or cellular – ring automatically. Whether you’re at home or away, simply use the phone to talk to the visitor and dial a code to unlock the door. For added protection, the outdoor camera can send a picture to all the televisions in your home so you can see who’s at your entranceway. 7. Whole-house audio provides music in the entryway, kitchen, bedroom, office or anywhere you desire. Convenient in-room controls allow you to adjust the volume in each room or turn the music off completely. Personalized audio playback allows family members to plug in portable devices and games in specific areas (i.e. a child’s bedroom, etc.).
8. The Honeywell home automation system provides the highest level of comfort and convenience. With the press of one button, you can turn on the TV, start the DVD player, dim the lights and set the volume of the home theater to the perfect level. 9. From refrigerators to washing machines, a new generation of “smart” appliances can communicate with your home network. The computer can monitor power consumption and warn you when a component is about to fail, ensuring that your appliances are running at optimal performance. You can also conveniently schedule events to occur at select times, like having the coffee pot brew, running the dryer or filling the hot tub. 10. Incredibly flexible, the electronic distribution panel is the hub for telephone, video, security and other services. Instead of rewiring every time you move a television, simply move a patch cable on the panel. 11. The security system protects you and your loved ones from harm. With the ability to monitor your system via the telephone or a keypad, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your home and family are safe and sound.
