Residential management and control software

Today people want the ability to control all services under one interface but still keep operation simple and pleasing to the eye. Rabone Systems residential software can cater for all of these services and provide functionality that was considered too hard and too time-consuming to develop.

Our software is driven around resource sharing and areas. The software manages these resources on demand. Areas are key to operation and once an area has been selected, available services will be displayed. The locations of wireless panels are also tracked and configured automatically to control the appropriate area.

Display and control of security services

Current settings on Foxtel, and digital TV can be tracked and current program, next program can be displayed. Assignment of any decoder can be made to one room or multiple rooms with ease. Resolving any sync issues that many systems suffer from. Display and control of security services is reachable at the drop of a hat, with images streamed to touch panels or live to displays.

Advanced control of irrigation systems and monitoring of the swimming pool is a breeze. Fully flexible scheduling based on monthly, weekly, and daily time slots. Desired watering levels are also provided with advanced soil saturation content measurement.

Advanced electronic programming guide for AMX

Rabone Systems has released a new revision of its electronic programming guide for AMX adding some new functionality and enhancing the overall experience. The EPG delivers AMX user’s full access of Free to Air, Foxtel and Optus programming information Australia-wide.

Automatic television recording systems

In addition to programming information, the software simplifies the way people search, preview, watch and schedule content.

Integrated with Rabone Systems residential software, selection of a decoder has become a thing of the past. A user simply views the channel programming information from the EPG, and then selects whether to record or watch the program, the system handles the rest.

The ability to preview the broadcast channel before committing to watch or record is available and integration with High Level Interface DVR’s such as the Digital View DVR-810 is standard.

Archived television content and SMS notifications of programmes

Scheduling programming is not limited by one decoder or DVR like other systems and archived content is easily retrievable without having to search through multiple DVR’s. SMS notification to individual users when favourite programs are starting shortly is achieved with the addition of an SMS gateway. The ability to record the program if you are not already is as simple as an SMS reply.

With a high focus on infrastructure, future-proofing and eliminating design restrictions, investment in a solution provided by Rabone Systems is well protected. Our vast resources of staff, partners and suppliers allow Rabone Systems to cover all aspects of technology implementation for your environment.
