Home Automation Product Features

A Vantage home automation system using the InFusion controller is modular and allows for complete customization of the overall look and feel of the user interface. It integrates with almost any other control systems on the market including: pool & spa controls, alarm systems, medical alert systems, drapery control systems, and any electronic device with RS232 communication capability.

The system allows for installation in new construction work and also in renovation work with its branch of wireless controls. Vantage also just recently released a designer wireless control system for smaller residences. These new wireless systems are geared to homeowners not looking to remodel their entire homes, either due to cost constraints, or because all functions of a complete system are not needed.
