The process of home automation works by making everything in the house automatically controlled using a technology to control and do the jobs beyond what we would normally do manually.
Home automation is the residential extension of building automation. It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.
Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, control of doors, window shutters and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.
The reason why home automation in the world has increasingly been deployed is that home automation for the elderly and disabled can provide increased quality of life for persons who might otherwise require caregivers or institutional care. The popularity of home automation in world has been increasing greatly in recent years due to much higher affordability and simplicity through Smartphone and tablet connectivity. The concept of the “Internet of Things” has tied in closely with the popularization of home automation.
The process of home automation works by making everything in the house automatically controlled using a technology to control and do the jobs beyond what we would normally do manually.
A home automation system by Smarte integrates electrical devices in a house with each other. The techniques employed in home automation include those in building automation as well as the control of domestic activities, such as home entertainment systems, houseplant and yard watering, pet feeding, changing the ambiance “scenes” for different events (such as dinners or parties), and the use of domestic robots.
Home automation system provided by smarte can be connected through a computer network to allow control by a personal computer, and may allow remote access from the internet. Through the integration of information technologies with the home environment, systems and appliances are able to communicate in an integrated manner which results in convenience, energy efficiency, and safety benefits. Elements of a home automation system include sensors (such as temperature, daylight, or motion detection), controllers (such as a general-purpose personal computer or a dedicated automation controller) and actuators, such as motorized valves, light switches, motors, and others. One or more human-machine interface devices are required, so that the residents of the home can interact with the system for monitoring and control; this may be a specialized terminal or, increasingly, can be an application running on a smart phone or tablet computer. Devices may communicate over dedicated wiring, or over a wired network, or wirelessly using one or more protocols which are indigenously provided by SmartE.
Lighting control
Lighting control is a fundamental part of a C-Bus/Knx system. It provides user-friendly, convenient benefits, such as a “welcome home” scene to turn on garage, pathway and hallway lights at the touch of a button.
There are also many energy saving benefits to be gained from lighting control. You can utilise sensors and timers to turn off lights automatically, and dimmers to reduce the amount of power consumed when full light isn’t required.
Irrigation
Automated irrigation reduces water wastage far beyond that of a standalone irrigation system. Efficiencies can also be further maximised by considering daytime temperature, rainfall, wind speed, and ground moisture, all conveniently monitored and controlled.>
Air conditioning
Integrate air conditioning into a C-Bus/Knx Home Control system, utilising schedules and sensors along with automated windows and blinds. This ensures your air conditioning system operates far more efficiently and you’ll enjoy perfect temperature all year round.
Multi-Room Audio
A Multi-Room Audio system allows you to listen to music throughout your home. Control of audio is from the same switches and touch screens used to control other aspects of a C-Bus/Knx Home Control system. You have the choice of either the same music or various sources in different rooms.
Windows and blinds
Motorised windows and blinds are incredibly practical. When controlled by C-Bus/Knx, they can greatly improve comfort levels, automatically adjusting according to the surroundings. You can enjoy the perfect amount of ambient light, airflow, and temperature all year round.
Home theatre
Simplify the operation of your home and replace multiple remote controls with a universal remote. Furthermore, when integrated into C-Bus/Knx a universal remote can also activate the room’s lighting and curtains.
Home security
Home Control integrated with your security system provides fantastic benefits, such as periodically activating lights as a deterrent when you’re away and alerting you via email or SMS if there is an intrusion.
Keyless entry
Keyless entry takes on a whole new level of functionality when integrated with C-Bus/Knx. Elements such as lighting, music and air conditioning can be activated upon entry.
