The purchase story: a smart way outfit your smart home

Jeff decides to see what he would need to set up the Integer network in his home.  He inputs information about his house for recommendation and area availability.  He also uses the Integer 3D mapping software to construct a layout of his home, which helps dictate the ideal number of product units.  He can then get quote on a complete installation, or find a store and install Integer himself.  He also decides to install Integer in his dad's house, to help monitor him in case of emergency.
