Eaton says that its Home Automation Hub is a solution that provides professional integrators, home builders and homeowners the ability install and control a variety devices.

Some of the products and systems the Eaton Home Automation Hub is capable of integrating with include Honeywell Lyric thermostats, Kwikset locks, Denon wireless whole-house audio systems, Clare Control security devices, and Eaton’s own Z-Wave based lighting control products.
