Going Green - The Case For Smart Homes

You don't have to watch cable television to be bombarded with the news that oil futures prices have risen to more than $100 a barrel. It's a painfully evident fact that hits home as you drive down the street and pass a gas station, or when you stop in at one to fill-up your car. Gasoline prices in the Chicago area are on the rise, I paid $3.59 a gallon yesterday at a gas station in Northbrook, and it's even more expensive in the city. I'm told that gasoline could reach $4.00 a gallon by Spring and jump as high as $5.00 a gallon by mid-Summer.

The collateral damage caused by the increase in oil prices is that it drives up the cost of other energy sources too: coal, natural gas, etc. Worse, there's not much that an individual can do to stem the rising tide of retail energy prices... or is there?

Going Green has, for the past couple of years, been a great trend, but what can you really do to help conserve energy? Take control of your home!

How? ADT Pulse can help make yours a smart home by integrating energy management with its remote access capabilities. You can monitor and control energy usage via thermostat modules (heating and cooling), lamp modules, light switch modules and appliance modules. ADT's Pulse technology will enable your home's electronics talk to each other, and to you. It unifies them into an integrated network and can be added to almost any electronic device in your house.

Through the ADT Pulse online portal, you're connected to your home in a whole new way. Via secure access from any web-enabled device (iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Android, computer, etc), you can view secure live video of your home, set-up custom schedules, automate lights and thermostats for energy efficiency and much more. ADT Pulse is more than just remote security - it's smart home automation, climate and light control, and video. And it's affordable, customizable and easy to use.
