HOME AUTOMATION
A home automation system is capable of automating the different installations of a home or building, this technology is applied to the control of the home, allowing greater energy efficiency, security, savings, comfort and communication. This control is achieved through internal and external communication networks, whether wired or wireless; where several devices are connected to work automatically through a remote panel, which allows communication between the user and the home.
Smart homes or Smart Homes can control, for example, heating systems, lighting, air conditioning, electrical appliances, ventilation, security, blinds, smart taps etc.
Home automation systems collect information from sensors or inputs and allow us to respond to the requirements posed by new trends in our way of life and social changes, facilitating the design of more humane, personal, multi-functional and flexible houses and homes.
Each household is responsible for producing up to 5 tons of CO2 per year; in this sense, home automation contributes to achieving maximum efficiency energetic possible, for example, we can estimate that the installation of a home automation system in a home that allows to intelligently manage the lighting and temperature of a 20 m2 room generates energy savings of around 25%.
HOME AUTOMATION APPLICATIONS
ENERGY SAVING: the house keeps a precise control of energy consumption in order to reduce costs.
SECURITY: home automation provides alarms and security to protect the home from possible intruders and also to prevent domestic accidents.
COMFORT: provides all the applications that are needed to achieve a higher level of comfort.
REMOTE MANAGEMENT AND ACCESSIBILITY: home automation systems are easy to use, so that people can use them without any difficulty.
COMMUNICATIONS: communication between the user and the smart home, thanks to the implementation of Wi-Fi Internet, infrared systems, bluetooth, etc.
The collection of information from home automation systems to achieve smart homes allows the processing of environmental signals and responds to customer requirements in a scalable, economical and safe way. Social changes and new technological trends make smart home users hyperconnected, now with the implementation of new, more robust communications networks, with higher bandwidth and higher performance, home control is a necessity for reduce the operating costs of each residence and have control of each of the internal elements. This leads to better energy performance, reduction of thermal stress, a considerable increase in the comfort of the inhabitants and a lower cost of services with short-term investment returns.
Now technological evolution allows us to make simple, non-traumatic installations without requiring civil works, in addition to these systems can be used by any user, speaking different communication protocols such as Lonworks, Lontalk, KNX, Zigbee, Zwave, Enocean, etc, Regardless of the final terminal that is going to be controlled, which allows the technological renovation of the home not to be dictated by the compatibility of the system, but by the products that are available in the market.
