Cypress Homes takes pride in keeping up to date with the latest and greatest technology in home building.  Here are 5 of the most cutting edge items being used in homes today:

1. Proliphix IP Thermostat

You can adjust the temperature in your home from anywhere with these wi-fi thermostats.  Download an app on your iPod or iPhone and experience limitless control.  Also, consider the “nest” thermostat from one of the iPhone designers.  This innovative thermostat can detect your presence to decrease your homes temperature when you are out.

2. Laser Robot Vacuum

This Robotic Vacuum, the review of which can be found on LaserLevelAdvisor.com, uses a laser to map what it has already cleaned.  It can clean your floors just as efficiently as you can!  It even returns to a specified GPS location when it is finished cleaning.  You can purchase this great appliance from Neato Robotics for under $400.

3. Heated Driveway

Haven’t you wished your driveway would just shovel itself?  Now it does with a radiant heat map.  Depending on the size of your driveway, you can forget about shoveling for around $5000.

4. Ethanol Fireplace

This free-standing fireplace can burn for up to 8 hours through its reservoir ethanol tank.  The mobile fireplace retails for just over $1000.  It looks great and, even better, releases no harmful emissions.

5. Wireless Speakers in Can Lights

This nifty gadget won the innovation award at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show.  It is a can light that screws in to your ceiling like a normal light bulb but also provides wireless audio!  For $500 you can purchase two  light-speakers and a master control system.

6. LED Lighting

Say goodbye to having to turn on your lights with an on and off switch.

These LED lights by Philips Hue are controlled by Smartphone or tablet. These energy saving lights are perfect for homes or offices and can even be turned on and off by schedule.
