A country house for many urban residents is the only opportunity to relax from the city noise, bustle and traffic. Often, country houses are arranged as comfortably as possible, while all costs are reduced to a minimum. Thanks to the intensive development of new technologies, one of the most practical in home improvement is the “Smart home” system, which is already in high demand.
What is a Smart home system?»
Among many comfort conditions, automation occupies a special place in everyday life. Thanks to it, the time for performing any work is significantly reduced, physical exertion at work is reduced, and very comfortable and cozy living conditions are created.
The modern housing management system “Smart home” is a set of automatic operations that the system performs only at the specified time. This system has a very “flexible” and quite diverse configuration system, which allows you to manage the most important housing communications. Given the capabilities of the system, it is impossible not to point out its components.
As a rule, almost any set of “Smart home” system includes:
The main device for automatic control is the hub.
Sensors are elements that receive information from external factors, such as heat, cold, and light.
The device executes the command received from the sensors – actuators.
These three nodes create a very convenient housing management list. Considering the option of a country house, here the most important commands for a “Smart home” can be turning on motion sensors, controlling video monitoring, starting automatic heat supply, turning on external lighting, and locks equipped with automation. If there are very expensive things in a country house, then you can connect a siren and call the security service to the control system.
How the system works
It is worth noting that the entire system can be controlled via wireless data transmission-the Internet (Wi-Fi). When purchasing this system, the user is provided with several options for configuring synchronization with a particular device. Often, this device can be a modern smartphone based on the Android or iOS operating systems. Modern models of this control system have applications that are installed on the user’s gadget, which greatly simplifies their maintenance.
The installed app starts working when the smartphone has been synced with the control system. The device’s display will initially display “hints” for working with the system. The main control criterion is uninterrupted Internet access on both devices. If you can connect wired Internet in a country house, then it is enough for the device to log in to the network from any access point. This function is quite useful because it allows you to remotely control everything that happens in the house, as well as to enable and disable emergency control functions.
