The fast pace of modern lifestyles demands that living space be adaptable to different purposes, but the everyday routines required to get things just the way you want them can be a time-consuming hassle. Conventional Home Automation Systems require regular personal attention, and you have to work from fixed control panels with little or no customization. HAWES takes much of the repetitiveness out of such daily routines and lets you run everything from your mobile phone, allowing you and your family, friends, or other guests to make the most of your time together. With HAWES you can use your mobile to activate any connected appliance in your home: from boilers, exterior lighting, and garden irrigation systems to window blinds, audiovisual components, and the numerous sensors, cameras, and alarm mechanisms that make up modern safety and security systems. But that really is just the beginning. HAWES also allows you to create, store, and order specific Tasks for any connected device. This means you can use your mobile to set an electric heater, for instance, at a given temperature for a set period of time and then shut itself off. This applies to any Home Automation-capable hardware with compatible protocols (details below). And what if you want the same Task repeated at the same time every day, every Monday, or every weekday? This is where the simple beauty of the HAWES system starts to reveal itself, allowing you to Schedule precise settings that begin and end at the exact times you choose, all through a user-friendly control interface on your phone. Never worry again about forgetting to turn off a light, draw a blind, or cool down a room before bedtime: just tell HAWES once, and it will remember all of your preferences and carry out every instruction until you decide otherwise. Best of all, the HAWES Scene tool lets you configure combinations of pre-determined Tasks to ensure the ideal environment for a given activity. Once a Scene is entered in the system, a single command sets your favorite conditions for whatever you want to do. Quiet night at home? Your own personalized Movie Scene can dim all the lights in your living room, lower the blinds, and turn on your TV and sound system. Last-minute work? Your Office Scene can turn on your computer and set the lighting and temperature conditions you want to stay alert and productive. Whatever you want to do, HAWES remembers your preferences and automatically recreates them seamlessly, leaving you more time for work, rest, or play. Put all these capabilities together and it’s like having a 24-hour concierge who takes care of your chores day and night, one who never gets tired, never forgets what you want or how you want it, and never intrudes on your privacy. More than anything else, HAWES makes you the Master in your own home.
