Home Automation System

How does home automation work?

Home automation works through a network of devices connected to the Internet by different communication protocols like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. These devices are managed remotely through controllers or voice assistance through electronic interfaces.

Many of these devices have sensors that monitor changes in motion and acquire information about the device's surroundings. To make physical changes to the device, the user can control the physical mechanisms through smart light switches, motorised valves or motors that allow devices to be controlled remotely.


Types of home automation systems:

Lightning

Home automation systems have a lot of smart light solutions available on the market. Smart lighting can be implemented in many ways, such as through in-wall modules or smart bulbs, smart switches, or even smart plugs.

Relays

Smart Relays are installed devices that are added to an electrical circuit to allow wireless remote control of any other device connected to that circuit.

With a smart relay, you can get creative with your routines and automations. For instance, LED strip lighting can be installed in your kitchen. This can give you the option to make the work surfaces more visible while you cook. The lighting can then transition to be more appealing during dinnertime. This lighting option can be changed in an instant with a simple click or voice command, which wirelessly triggers your Smart Relay.

Dimmers

Dimmer controls let you use more lighting as you no longer need to run around adjusting dimmers. Just one tap does it. Several dimming zones can be added to your lighting. You also have the freedom to break up your lighting so you can spot operate a specific area without lighting up the entire room. Precise lighting and control can add a lot of drama and elegance to your living space.

Switches

Smart switches are specifically helpful if you don't want to change your lights or bulbs (to automate them) but still want remote access and control over your home lighting. Smart switches replace your conventional switches and can be controlled through mobile apps or even remotes.


Others

Security and safety
Bells,

Most of the smart bells available on the market come with built-in cameras and motion detection features. Whenever someone is in close proximity to your main door, the smart bell will send you alert notifications on your phone.

Also, a few smart cameras allow a two-way-talk audio facility that allows you to talk to the person at your door, even while sitting at remote locations. This way, you can ensure that you do not skip any essential deliveries even when you are not at home.

Locks

Smart Door Locks have built-in modules that receive wireless ZigBee and Z-Wave commands that help users perform keyless operations like locking and unlocking the doors. Users can also lock and unlock their doors while sitting in another location and grant visitors access to their homes.

Security Cameras

The most crucial part of smart security cameras is the remote monitoring feature. The IP-based smart wireless camera gets configured with your home Wi-Fi so you can stream live video to users sitting at distant locations. A few smart cameras also offer additional motion detector sensors that notify the users of any movements detected.


Entertainment

Home Entertainment Systems

A home theatre can encompass a lot of equipment, such as the projector, the screen, and surround sound, among various other equipment. Not to forget the lighting, motorised shades and other additions. Watching a movie in your home should be more straightforward than visiting a movie theatre. Hence, an automated home theatre can give you the entire experience with the click of a few buttons. It's that simple.

Multimedia Controls

Get rid of individual remotes to control separate appliances. This smart system integrates and controls devices across brands and applications under a single remote or smartphone. For example, this system allows you to control your television, music system, X-Box, air-conditioner, or shades wirelessly from a single universal remote. What's more, You can even create intelligent scenes to automate routine tasks and instantly switch between activities at your fingertips.


Automation Devices in Offices

There are many automation devices available for office spaces as well. Some of these include automated cabinets, climate control devices, and even smart coffee machines that will brew your coffee instantly or at a scheduled time.

Automated biometric sensors are another essential part of office space as they easily register the employees' attendance and avoid the chance of any false inputs for attendance.

In the medical sector, various fitness and health monitoring gadgets check an individual's calories burned and sugar levels in the body, to name a few functions. This helps in calculating their required food intake. In addition, these devices also upload daily fitness data that can help the doctor learn about their fitness schedules and thus help in providing personalised guidance.


Hospitality Properties

The hospitality properties' automation system gives the owner complete control over the property's operations without increasing their workload. Hotel automation tools can provide a centralised hub to manage everything. Hotel automation systems enable control of:

All devices in your building will have one interface.

  • Energy usage
  • Employee scheduling and task management
  • Staff and guest access
