Why HCS

 

Why HCS Technology Group?

We have longstanding expertise in Macintosh software development and hardware installation. In fact, we contributed to the development of the Macintosh-based home automation platform—so we know exactly how it works and how to make it work most effectively for you.


We will advise you during the installation process. Although we are not electricians or carpenters (homeowners/contractors must make separate arrangements for these services), we are available to answer any questions regarding our area of expertise that may arise during installation.


As of this writing, we are the only certified leaders in the field. You will be working with our Apple-trained and certified staff to configure the home automation package and features that best suit your needs and budget.


We have a direct relationship with Apple retail stores; your equipment and software purchases will be seamless. 


With a System from HCS Technology Group, You Will be Assured:

• Ease-of-use

• Reliability

• State-of-the-art, secure switches/hardware

  1. The ability to add components/features                                                                                                      anytime at a reasonable cost


Packages are fully customizable, and can include:

• Lighting controls for efficiency and/or mood

• Temperature controls for maximum efficiency and comfort

• Remote cameras for monitoring critical areas


Additional options include, but are not limited, to:

• Fan control

• Blind/shade control

• Advanced audio/visual functions—add your movie library, personal music collection, satellite radio; create multiple A/V zones in your home

• Sprinkler system control

• Pool/spa system control


Perhaps best of all, whatever functions are ultimately incorporated into any system, they are all completely accessible from any computer, anywhere in the world, fully secure and easily controlled. 


On site, the system can be controlled in a variety of ways: by computer, portable switches, touchscreens, and hand-held remotes, including the Apple iPhone and the iPod touch. All control screens are personalized—actual photographs become the icons for the touchscreen and for the point-and-click template on the computer screen. There’s no doubt that Macintosh computer users will feel at home with the familiar interface—and that PC-users also will also appreciate the system’s intuitive, efficient operation.
