The Fixed Design Method provides as high a level of integration as possible
between your Home Management System and your home's subsystems while protecting
the investment you already have in those subsystems. It is the method of choice
when the subsystems have already been selected or installed, i.e. "fixed".
After we learn what features you would like to have in your Home
Management System, we assess the features and integration capabilities of
the subsystems that may be involved in the HMS design. This assessment
typically takes between two and six weeks to complete.
With a firm understanding of the issues and the tools with which we have to
work, we next discuss your available options with you. Unless a subsystem
is completely closed to the outside world, we can usually provide some level
of control of it through the HMS. We will also inform you of any limitations
that may be present as well as any alternatives that can minimize those
limitations.
After you select the options that best fit your home management goals, your
HMS design is finalized over the next six to twelve weeks and
system installation
and commissioning is scheduled.
