I found a lot of companies which deal with my subject “home automation” and it was difficult to choose two of them in order to compare them, but here they are :

The first company named ELAN is specializing in home automation. They develop and create touch screens to centralize and control all the devices in your house. Elan only works with particulars. Elan has an extremely deep product selection, with critical solutions in 10+ major categories from structured wiring to entertainment to full control systems. Recognized for multiroom entertainment and simplified control, Elan has panel sizes, prices and formats for every application, many with live video monitoring for security and TV viewing. You will be able to turn on and off the lights , control the heating of the house, put music in the room you want, control the temperature of your swimming pool, manage your cameras, manage automatic watering your garden and many other possibilities. The company Elan gives you advices even if you are currently building your house, in order to integrate your devices more easily.

The second company called Promixis, offers computer based home automation and industrial automation software. They develop software that you can install on your computer and make IR (Infra Red) connected USB box that allows you to control all IR devices in your home. The software name is Girder. It is a Windows automation application that can control lighting systems, security systems or virtually any consumer electronics device that communicates via IR, serial and IP protocols.

We have seen two companies that are in the same industry but lead it in different ways. ELAN lets you manage your entire home, but must be put in place during construction of the house while  Proximity allows you to manage the wireless IR’s devices home with just a software that can be implemented in any home.

Finally, I would like to say that in my research, I did not find a lot of French companies engaging in home automation. I think that in France, home technologies are not anchored yet. Indeed, we don’t give the same importance to our home. What do you think?
