  Fultech Solutions, Inc.

  Sept 2003 - Apr 2007

  Senior Integrator

  Design, install and maintain high-end residential home automation systems: Control you're thermostat from your phone; view security cameras on your iPad; raise or dim the lighting in any room from anywhere; put your house in entertain mode with music in every room, lights set to accent, turn on the fountain, unlock the door and view pictures on the TV's, all with the press of a single button. 100% Crestron control systems. My favorite system: When the system detected one of the home owners arriving home using long range RFID it would open the appropriate garage door depending on which car had just pulled in. If it was dark a dozen exterior lights would light up the dark driveway. When the owner disabled the security system the garage door would close. By the time the owner walked inside the house the temperature was adjusted from energy saving to a comfortable living setting and the garage hall, kitchen and sitting room lights were on if it was dark. If it was a weekend soft music would play from the ceiling speakers. If it was a weekday after work the system would route HD video from the equipment room and turn on the sitting room TV to show the evening news. By this time the only thing the owner has touched is the security panel, everything else was automated. Video camera images on the 19" touchscreen in the kitchen showed the 9 perimeter cameras around the house next to touch controls for the house media system. Show less
