Here we
will describe the technology and cool stuff that will be in the house from appliances to whole house audio.
The smart
house is a term used to describe how the various technologies are connected through the house. Each room that has a television
will have three cable runs, two for satellite and the other is for the off air antenna. Ethernet will be run to all rooms
and to each television. Ethernet cable will also be run for the whole house audio. In the near future Direct-TV will have
a new feature that will allow subscribers to watch movies on demand and prime time showa all through a Ethernet cable
Below you will see the different components like the appliances,
audio systems and plumbing fixtures.
