Abstract

A system (80, 100) and method for providing home awareness are disclosed. In one embodiment, a sensor (112) is associated with a household amenity (84). In response to the occurrence of an event, a wireless signal (86, 114) is transmitted to a monitoring unit (30, 102) which, in turn, superimposes a text message (88) indicative of the event (86) onto a video signal (106). A display unit (110), such as a television (26), is connected to the monitoring unit (30, 102) and displays the video signal (106') including the superimposed text message (88).
