What was new at the 2011 HIA Melbourne Home Show.

That is home automation. It’s about integrating today’s complex technologies, but making them simple to use, with your iPad, iPhone or a custom-designed touchscreen.
For real life examples of how this can benefit you in your home, visit Recluse AV’s stand where you can experience tomorrow’s technology, today.
