HA-Ready offers 10 subsystems including lighting, climate control, home theater, video surveillance, and motorized window treatments. Designs for wiring a gaming substructure are currently in development for use with Sony, GameCube, Nintendo, Xbox, and other gaming platforms.

The universal topology will support any currently available electronics system. Installation and materials are priced for the 2,500-square-foot market at approximately $4 to $7 per square foot.
