conundrum n. 1. a riddle in which a fanciful question is answered by a pun. 2. an intricate or difficult problem.
For the last decade, Conundrum Technologies has successfully integrated the best in home electronics technology in such an easy-to-use, customized manner that it has become synonymous with complex technology at your fingertips. Now, Conundrum is taking the concept of the “smart home” to the next level and offers it newest service, Conundrum Energy.
Conundrum’s corporate mission of enriching the lives of homeowners through technology takes on new meaning with its new subsidiary, Conundrum Energy. “It’s a natural evolution for our company to use technology to solve customers’ desire to power the house with renewable energy without sacrificing the quality or comforts of home,” said CEO Jason Perez.

Conundrum’s smart-home technologies cover an ever expanding number of functions. These include electrical and lighting design and control; electronically controlled window coverings; audio/video systems and distribution; private home theaters and media rooms; security and fire-protection systems; and telephone systems. A custom-programmed touch-panel interface allows users to easily integrate and control all of these elements with the touch of a button using the same controller.
As consumers become increasingly dependent on a lot of different technologies, life becomes simpler instead of more complex with integrated control. The secret to Conundrum’s success has been their ability to take the most complex technologies, to make the infrastructure invisible to the homeowner, and to control it all with the touch of a button. The homeowner can easily turn on the music, arm the security system, set the room lighting in the house and control the climate with an intuitive and architecturally designed touch screen, or even control it remotely from the web. This simplicity is actually the result of a rigorous, trademarked process called The Delivery Model, which Conundrum uses for all of its’ projects. A smart home is truly smart, only if it’s easy to use.
“For the last decade, Conundrum Technologies has successfully integrated world-class smart-home technology solutions. Conundrum makes technology easy to use and we customize it for the specific needs and desires of our customers. Now, we’re taking the concept of the ’smart home’ to the next level,” says Perez, as he introduces their newest venture, Conundrum Energy.

In addition to home theaters, networking, audio and video, today’s truly “smart homes” also use technology to efficiently power the modern home’s growing appetite for energy.
“The creation of Conundrum Energy has really inspired us, and has helped us look at home automation in an entirely new way,” said Stephanie Becker, Conundrum’s co-founder and COO. “It was a natural step for us to use technology to help our customers conserve energy and generate power for their homes from renewable energy sources.”
A simple example of how home automation can conserve energy is a web-enabled climate-control system that Becker explains. “If the system knows it’s a warm, sunny morning, it would automatically delay the heat until the afternoon when the sun is directly above the house and is no longer providing as much solar gain through the windows,” described Becker.
Conundrum’s team of technology specialists brings strong expertise in solar and wind clout, renewable power generation, and augmented with proficiency in high-efficiency heating and cooling, sustainable lighting design and control, and green building practices. Consistent with Conundrum’s reputation, these technical specialists ensure all home technologies are integrated seamlessly, reliably and sustainably.
Whether designing a simple surround sound system, world-class theater or an entire home that is controllable through the web, Conundrum Technologies takes the riddle out of smart home technology.
