What is a Cortexa?
Cortexa is an easy-to-install home automation controller that enables owners to intuitively synchronize their home with their lifestyle through pre-configured and user-defined events that simultaneously control many well-known residential subsystems.
What does the Cortexa do?
The Cortexa allows you to control all of the electronic subsystems in your home from one place. It can be accessed through the touchscreen, your Smartphone, your television, or via the internet when you are away. You can individually or collectively control and/or schedule the daily functions of specific subsystems in your home such as lighting, temperature, irrigation, security systems, audio, video, and even your window shades.
Why do I need a Cortexa?
Owning a Cortexa brings you a level of comfort, convenience, and security that is unmatched. The Cortexa enhances your lifestyle by providing complete control of your home at the touch of a button when you are home and when you are away. Having the ability to schedule the daily functions in your home such as lighting, climate, security, and the sprinkler system gives you more time to enjoy your life and eliminates having to think about everyday, mundane tasks.
How difficult is it to use a Cortexa?
Using the Cortexa is as easy as using your personal computer. Cortexa is powered by Microsoft Windows and functions using the Windows Media Center platform. It is the most user-friendly home automation system on the market; we guarantee that after one of our knowledgeable, friendly installers demonstrates the system, you will have no problem using the system on your own. Scheduling different subsystem events with Cortexa’s drop-down menu technology is as easy as checking your email. If you do have questions, we are always here to quickly and efficiently provide you with a simple solution.
What is a scheduled Cortexa "event"?
We all have bedtime routines: turn off the lights, music, and TVs, set the thermostat, close the garage doors, turn on the security, etc. What if one touch of a button or mouse click did all of this automatically? This is one small example of an unlimited number of "events" that you can easily customize and enable using the Cortexa. You can set up events that cause your window shades to raise or lower, your indoor temperature to adjust, and/or your sprinklers to come on depending on such triggers as the time of the day or the weather. The possibilities are endless and are completely customizable to fit your lifestyle.
How can owning a Cortexa system improve my lifestyle?
In addition to all of the wonderful ways that having a fully automated home can improve your daily life, it can also make reducing your impact on the environment, as well as lowering your energy costs an afterthought. Having a Cortexa system installed in your home gives you the unique ability to successfully reduce your home’s energy consumption by allowing you to easily monitor, schedule and modify specific electronic functions such as your home’s interior climate, lighting, and irrigation system from one place. These functions can be scheduled to activate depending on factors such as location of the sun, outdoor weather, and the time of day. There are countless ways to make your home environment-friendly home using the Cortexa system.
Why should I choose the Cortexa over another home automation system?
The Cortexa is the most user-friendly, secure, powerful and simplistic system available. Our system is powered by the Windows Media Center, which is an extremely familiar and user-friendly platform. Cortexa is also one of the most secure, hacker resistant systems on the market. Because your home functions are managed primarily through our system, not through the internet, it is not susceptible to hackers. Cortexa’s service and customer support is unlike any other. We are very selective when choosing distributors and installers of our product. Because we value excellent service and support that meets or exceeds the customer’s expectations, we make sure our distributors’ objectives parallel ours. We strive to ensure that our installers have integrity, are always friendly and helpful, and go through rigorous training to learn the product inside and out.
How difficult is the Cortexa to install?
Our installers are experts in the field of home automation and are extremely knowledgeable about the Cortexa. The system itself is simply a controller box that connects each individual off-the-shelf subsystem. The Cortexa software is easily installed onto the Cortexa touchscreen and to your home computer. The system does not need to be programmed by you or the installer, which makes the Cortexa favorable among installers and distributors. Once your internet modem and subsystems are connected to the controller and the software is installed, the Cortexa is ready to be customized to your exact specifications!
