Cortexa Launches Easy-to-Use, Energy-Saving Home Automation Packages

Online, July 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Cortexa Automation has recently launched a brand new easy-to-use, easy-to-install, energy-saving home automation kit. The basic package includes the highly intuitive and customizable Cortexa Energy-Saving Edition controller, Z-Wave light switches (dimmable or regular), Z-Wave thermostat, Z-Wave lamp modules, and an energy monitoring device. Other devices that can be added such as an irrigation controller, Global Cache to control A/V equipment and other devices, and a Centralite lighting driver. The devices can also be purchased a la carte to allow for scalability of the system.

The Cortexa is highly customizable and has many features to allow for the luxury of a high-end automation system with the simplicity, convenience and price point for the everyday home owner. Through intuitive and simple programming that does not require special programming skills, a home owner or small business can expect to save up to 30% on their electric bills. With the ability to monitor a home or business' current energy usage, modes or scenes can be created to dim or turn lights off and adjust thermostats to bring the energy usage lower. Daytime, Nighttime, or Vacation modes can be set to save energy and make sure you never come home to a dark house again. The Cortexa can even make it look like you're home when you're not and send emails or text messages if something unexpected happens like a door or window opening.

The system is also ideal for small businesses looking to keep an extra eye on their property. From their phone or computer a property owner or manager can check in on their business to make sure everything is running properly and also save on their electric bills by programming the system to "shut down" and "wake up" at appropriate hours.

Cortexa is targeting custom CE integrators, Electricians, and Energy Efficiency professionals who want to branch out beyond their current line of products with an affordable, easy to install, and remotely serviceable solution. The training process is very minimal and there is no overhead required. For more information please visit www.cortexa.com or email the Sales team at [email protected].
