To make your home “smarter”, you need to equip it with hardware and software. It will combine all systems and appliances in the home, allowing the owner to control and manage the operation of each of them, whether at home or outside. Thus, the Smart home integrates the work of all systems into a single coherent complex.
Automation of everyday life
Thanks to the built-in modules, residents of smart homes:
perform centralized control and management of all devices and sensors;
they are confident in the safety of their lives and the safety of their homes.
Requirements for household automation:
easy to install and use – installation of system equipment is carried out in a short time, without damage to the repair;
compatibility-sensors and devices freely exchange data within the system;
notification – security issues are constantly monitored;
visualization – the ability to see the readings of temperature sensors, water consumption and electricity;
remote access-security control and ability to change settings before returning;
ease of switching modes and functions;
fast installation using wireless technologies;
possibility of self-installation;
system reliability;
unified format – a single mobile application for monitoring and management.
Comfort
Automated control system will save you from the usual tasks:
Electric appliances (kettle, lamp) are switched on/off by a command from a mobile device.
Roller shutters, garage doors will open after the house is disarmed or on command from a smart device.
Air conditioning, ventilation, humidification, and heating systems work smoothly in the set mode, creating a comfortable climate in the house.
Watering lawns or gardens is automatic, taking into account the temperature and humidity of the air.
Security
Alarm systems will protect you from:
burglary-sensitive sensors to control entry into the room, simulated presence (from time to time in different rooms turn on lights, music, TV, you can hear the sound of running water, the whistle of the kettle, the muffled voice of the radio), a loud siren will protect the home from intruders;
fire-the smoke detector will instantly respond to the presence of smoke and send a notification to the owner;
flooding – the device will notify you of a danger coming from neighbors or formed inside the house.
Management
Ways to configure engineering systems:
automatic – without human intervention;
automated – with the possible adjustment of the data;
manual.
It is more convenient to use automated management.
In a smart home, all sensors and devices are connected to a controller that:
in the event of a power outage, it can operate on a battery;
can connect multiple devices simultaneously;
connects via Wi-Fi.
To ensure that the owners are always aware of the situation in the house, you need to install the appropriate app on your smart device. Hackers will not be able to get personal data and information about the house, because this data will be encrypted.
