Imagine the nervousfeeling of coming home at night to a dark house. Now imaginethe secure feeling of being able to turn on indoor and outdoor lights whilestill 100 feet away from your house. Or imagine the safetyof turning on a light in a dark basement with the touch of a button- while stillat the top of the stairs. Or the convenience of starting tobrew your morning coffee- while still in bed!
GE SmartHome products allow homeowners to control lights andappliances with RF (radio frequency) signals. There are twotypes of products- transmitters and receivers. At least oneof each is required to create a SmartHome system, but one transmitter can beused with several receivers. The transmitter (functions as a remote control)sends the RF signal to the receiver (which is plugged into an outlet and theappliance is plugged into this receiver). The receiver thenturns on the appliance. Both the transmitters and receivers have a dial with eight differentpositions that allows the homeowner to control up to eight applianceswith one transmitter. All eight appliances can be turned on atthe same time or they can be turned on individually. For example, lightson the front porch can be set on channel 1, lights inside on channel 2, and thecoffee pot on channel 3. With just the turn of a dial thetransmitter can be set to channel 3, to turn on the coffee, and none of thelights will be affected. If you wanted allthree appliances to turn on at the same time you could set them all to the samechannel.
