Phones can be used to a variety of reasons in
the connected home. Other than the obvious feature of making phone
calls, the phone systems of today can be used as an intercom throughout the
house.
Since you would now have a smart house, if
you were to page your other family members, or if a telephone call came in,
or if your doorbell is pressed, the music or TV in your house will get muted
so that you know they are ringing.
In addition to using the phones as paging or
intercom systems, they may also be used to monitor rooms, such as play rooms
or nurseries.
Total Home Technology can create solutions
that can include setup of an IP phone system for your house, and allow for
interaction between your office, 2nd home, relatives, etc. so you are always
in touch.
