Abstract :
A multifunction Home Control System is described, which combines HVAC, security alarm, hazard alarm, emergency alarm, lighting and appliance control into one central system. A unique "touch bar" concept is used to simplify the control panel, and provision is made for the easy addition of other features and functions to installed systems.
