Lights, Sound, Video, Heating and Cooling, Windows, Energy Monitoring
Home automation (or domotics) uses a combination of hardware and software technologies that enable you to dim the lights, stream high-resolution music and turn up the heat using a smartphone or a small home console – from anywhere you are. You can even control your home automation system via Internet cloud services. Sounds like science fiction? It is not. It is the Internet of Things (IoT), and it is a key component of home automation and smart homes. Some of its features include:
Lights
Lighting automation systems conveniently let you regulate lighting options in your home remotely. With mood and ambiance control, you can:
- Automate lighting schedules for specific times of the day,
- Use occupancy sensors in rest rooms and hallways to enhance the lighting experience for your visitors, and
- Integrate emergency lighting scenes during intrusions or fire alarms.
Sound & Video Devices
Home automation includes managing audiovisual systems in your home, such as:
- Setting up your TV recordings,
- Automatically controlling the room’s lighting according to the screen brightness,
- Having all your music and films in any room, at any time, at your fingertips,
- Watch a film in one room, pause it, move to another room, press play and continue watching, and
- Listening to any music in any room at any time, whether it is on your phone, PC, or internet.
Heating and Cooling
You can control your home’s temperature from wherever you are with Wi-Fi enabled thermostats.
Windows
Home automation enables your home to automatically turn on the security lights and draw close the window blinds at sunset, giving the illusion that you are home (mockupancy).
Energy Monitoring
Cost savings are effortless when lights are automatically switched off in unoccupied spaces using presence sensors. In addition, you have the ability to control your entire building’s lights using a single keypad or your mobile device.
