Centralite offers Simple and effective ways of light saving
Implement greater degree of control over the use of lighting
Use more efficient lighting equipment
Apply better lighting system design strategies
1. A good Design is essentialNew or retrofitting an existing lighting system, a combination of good, sensible lighting design with the use of the latest technology lighting systems can result in substantial energy savings and an overall improvement in lighting quality.
2. Consider a Centralite system for retrofit & New homes
Just an addition of a CAT V cable or by use of wireless remotes, Centralite systems may save plenty of energy & the cost is offset during next years because of the longer life & 15-55% energy saving. 3. Consider motion detectors and Occupancy Sensors Incorporate motion detectors where they make sense. You may cut down your energy bill by 50 percent by using the combination of motion detector sensors & occupancy sensors.
4. Use daylight wisely Design & employ special concepts to maximize the utilization of daylight energy. Centralite takes over the control of lighting to minimize the human dependence over maximum utilization of daylight, so that even if some carelessness occurs, the system takes care of the same.
5. Use task lighting where possible Usually this is noticed that task lights produce a better desired result in highlighting the product or object and by using task lighting we also save the energy by avoiding the more watt consuming lighting device. Centralite offers intelligent solutions which distinguish automatically with the movement that when we need task light or when we need whole room light.
Use HVAC systemIntegration of Centralite Litejet & Elegance system with HVAC, provide 10-18% additional effective energy saving. Recently, a large bank branch was audited and were provided with the Centralite solutions combing with HAI omni. The effective results show an initial saving of around 12% of energy. The system is constantly self monitored and the whole lighting control is taken over by the controller, leaving the human based energy wastage sidelined.
Home automation products are now available at affordable prices in INDIA (www.adretthomes.com ), backed by long term warranties and after sales services. HAI (www.homeauto.com), Centralite Systems (www.centralite.com ), RTI Corp (www.rticorp.com) are flagship companies committed to make available in INDIA, various home automation technologies, at an affordable prices. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adrett Homes Ltd. - What buyers should look in future ready homes
What buyers should look in a future-ready e-homes
It should have structured cabling:
The telecommunications cabling in a modern home supports a large and growing number of applications, including voice telephony, data networking, personal computers, printers, Internet access, and other applications, entertainment equipment like TV, home theater, whole-house audio, and home automation equipment, lighting control and security systems. For ease and convenience it is necessary that the new home should have single cabling infrastructure with CAT 5 or CAT 6 cables.
Structured cabling Vs Wi-Fi
Though sophisticated Wi-Fi equipments are there in the market, yet looking in to the promising future of IPTV etc. it becomes essential to go for high bandwidth solution. Entertainment applications, such as streaming video, typically use much more bandwidth than the voice and data applications. Therefore, a modern residence often requires more bandwidth than a typical office. In an office, a Fast Ethernet network (100Base-T) is often adequate. In a residence, however, transmitting uncompressed high-definition video streams can result in bandwidth use in excess of 1 Gbit/sec. So, the residence can require 10 times as much data throughput as is needed in a typical office environment.
It is evident that three transmission media should be used in modern residential cabling: unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable, coaxial cable, and wireless networks, such as Wi-Fi.
Other Cablings
UTP is the workhorse medium for residential cabling. It is economical to install and supports all of the various types of applications. Coaxial cable has a very high bandwidth and is normally used for cable TV and related equipment, such as a cable modem. Its use, however, is normally confined to the TV and other video signals. Homes should be wired with good quality Series 6 coaxial cable to locations where it is likely that a TV will be installed.
Wireless Networks
Wireless networks, such as Wi-Fi, are an excellent addition to the residential network infrastructure. They have two outstanding advantages-mobility and ease of use. They allow undeterred operation within the home, and even around the yard, and do not require crawling behind the furniture and tracing through a bundle of cords to install or move a piece of equipment.
The advantages of wireless networks are tempered by such drawbacks as lower bandwidth, shorter range, higher bit-error rate, and longer transmission delay than wired networks. Wireless networks commonly operate at speeds from 11 to 54 Mbits/sec, although higher-speed varieties are under development. A typical range for a Wi-Fi network is 20 to 30 meters, although it can be less in some cases. Compare this with 1 Gbit/sec Ethernet over 100 meters, which is supported by Category 5e UTP, or 10 Gbit/sec Ethernet over 55 meters of Category 6 UTP.
Wireless networks are more prone to interference and, unlike wired networks, cannot supply power to networked equipment. There are also privacy and security issues with wireless networks. While these can be addressed (e.g., by enabling the Wired Equivalency Privacy feature that comes with every Wi-Fi device), doing so impacts the devices’ ease of setup and usage.
Wireless networks are ideal for applications (such as reading e-mail on a laptop) that are small and movable and do not require very high bandwidth. But they are not well suited for applications like a large-screen, high-definition monitor. As a general rule of thumb, if it is portable and runs on batteries, wireless is a good option. Otherwise, wire it.
Further, home automation products run on a combination of above media. With obvious future of automated homes, it is essential that buyers should get the structured cabling done while the house is in construction phase. CEO of Adrett Homes Ltd. ( www.adretthomes.com ), Mr. Surender Kumar stressed during meetings with architects & builders, that the trend of smart or e-homes has matured in US & Europe is surely making inroads in INDIA also, and we should built true future ready homes.
Home automation products are now available at affordable prices in INDIA, backed by long term warranties and after sales services. HAI (www.adretthomes.com), Centralite Systems (www.centralite.com ), RTI Corp (www.rticorp.com) are flagship companies committed to make available in INDIA, various home automation technologies, at an affordable prices. Typically an HAI & Centralite integrated home for basic products would cost Rs. 45,000/- onwards.

Home Automation INDIA
Basics of Home Automation
Home automation must be a system for housekeeping, entertainment, care, and for security. It can only be successful when it is pointed out in the direction of the advantages for the end user. For the private area on one side plug & play is necessary, on the other side it has to be of low cost. American Home automation HAI & CentraLite fulfills these requirements in the best way.
Integration of functions
Housekeeping such as food conservation and preparation, care of clothes
Home Office and Communication
Entertainment like audio, video, radio, TV
Supply of electricity, heating, water, light, or ventilation
Security and Safety in relation to burglary, fire, flood or weather
Advantages
Ecology
Economy
Security
Connection to Information Networks
Increase of Convenience
Social Integration
What is a Home Automation
Very often home automation is identified with the keyword multimedia or it is identified with an in-house communication system. This is insufficient. Home automation is the integration of all domestic applications into one comprehensive system. This means that there is communication between devices but more than that, there are rules to integrate the functions of the devices. The devices and the functionality of the devices must be known by the system.
Requirements of Home Automation
Low Cost
· Easy Installation
· Cheap Devices
Plug & Play
Flexible
· Modular
· Extensible
Integration of all Applications
Multi Brand
Multi Medium
· Power Line
· Twisted Pair
· Radio Frequency
· Infra Red
Reliability
Easy Use
Credible After Sales Support
In today's homes, there are many stand-alone units like the white goods or accessories and there are few individual systems like the central air-conditioning system and the electrical distribution installation etc. In the future, to increase comfort and efficiency, these stand-alone units and individual systems will be integrated in one global home system. To do that, the manufacturers have integrated their devices into that comprehensive system. They have to take account of the global requirements as well as of their special requirements and also the requirements of other industrial sectors. For the fields like housekeeping, entertainment, care or security, all areas of the private home are integrated.
Home Automation Inc. ( www.homeauto.com ) & CentraLite ( www.centralite.com ), both established companies from US have proven credentials for their award winning and up to 5 Year Limited Warranty covered products and now have introduced their home automation products in INDIA, through New Delhi based company Adrett Homes Ltd ( www.adretthomes.com ).
