Automation Technologies
The Automation Technologies course is designed to provide students with the knowledge needed to successfully pass the required two CompTIA exams, HTI+ Residential Systems and HTI+ Systems Infrastructure and Integration.

HTI+ certification exam validates the necessary baseline competencies for a technician servicing the automated home industry.

Residential Systems (HT0-101)
Systems Infrastructure and Integration (HT0-102)

These exams measures the students' skills in Residential Systems : Computer Networking Fundamentals, Audio/Video Fundamentals, Home Security and Surveillance Systems, Telecommunications Standards, Home Lighting Control, HVAC Management, Water System Controls, Home Access Controls, Misc. Automated Home Features.
Structured Wiring: Low Voltage (e.g., twisted pair, coax, shielded, fiber), High Voltage (nominal 120/240 volt) and Systems Integration: User Interfaces, Control Processors.

Structured Wiring:
When many customers think of home automation their first thought is the internet. Often control of the home is regarded as "in the future;" reality is that it is here today. Each solution taught in class offers a web option allowing full home control from any internet browser. In addition, cameras can be integrated to allow a customer to view their home and control lighting, HVAC, and security. A customer can even add e-mail notifications and record video through a simple web interface. Total home control is available today at a very reasonable cost. During class we not only teach you what can be done, we actually show it working! Why wait for the future when the technology is available today?

Home Audio:
Multi-source whole house audio systems and living room theaters are two of the hottest markets in residential installation. Simple installations may include a theater pre-wire or volume controls to enjoy music in several rooms. More elaborate systems include in-wall speakers, multi-source / multi-zone audio distribution and home theaters. Top of the line installations include touch screen control and unified remotes. At Micropower Computer Institute we not only focus on how to sell and install these profitable systems but also how to use the A/V sale to add additional systems including security, HVAC, and lighting

Security:
The cornerstone of all integrated systems is security. The security system knows when you are home, away, on vacation or in bed for the night. Sharing this information with lighting, HVAC and other systems allows a home to be more secure and efficient. At Micropower Computer Institute we have done the research and worked with manufacturers to choose reliable security solutions which provide complete integrated solutions

Phone Systems:
The telephone is the most universal interface in the home. In today's fast paced society a telephone is never far away. Each Micropower Solution provides full control over all of the systems in the home via voice prompted menus. This gives the customer the ability to check on their home from anywhere in the world or offer them a simple point of control at their bedside. In addition to using the telephone as an interface for controlling the home, it can also be used for notification of alarms, arming/disarming, and other system events.

Integrated Lighting:
Home Automation starts with lighting. To many dealers lighting is simply controlling a light based on time, security, or creating a scene. At Micropower Computer Institute we will demonstrate lighting solutions that enhance the look and feel of a room as well as offer convenience and control. Each system provides professional approaches to both new construction and retrofit which will not strain customer's budgets. Best of all, Micropower Computer Institute classes only use lighting systems that install seamlessly and are easy to program and maintain. We show solutions which do not require complicated RS-232 serial strings or are limited by using contact closure. At Micropower, we do the integration, you don't have to

Interfaces:
A well designed and engineered solution is only as good as the user interface. Often the interface captivates the customer and leads to the sale. At Micropower we have spent years trying to improve the user experience without requiring a full time, on staff programming engineer. Finally, true plug and play solutions exist. To the dealer this means being able to offer attractive, full color, self configuring touch-screen solutions that do not break the bank or require tireless hours of programming. This now brings the capabilities of a complete integrated system to a price point designed for the masses

HTI+ Certification is designed for individuals who would like to become Automation Technology Integrators in Residential Systems, Systems Infrastructure and Integration.
