The home automation system enables automatic control of electronic devices in your home. These devices are connected to the Internet, which allows them to be controlled remotely. Devices can trigger one another so you don’t have to control them manually via an app or voice assistant. For example, you can put your lights on schedules so that they turn off when you normally go to sleep, or you can have your thermostat turn the A/C up about an hour before you return to work. The home automation system saves you money on heating, cooling and electricity bills. The system comprises of the following components:
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
Remote control of all home energy monitors over the internet incorporating a simple and friendly user interface.
Lighting Control System
Incorporates communication between various lighting system inputs and outputs, using one or more central computing devices.
Occupancy-Aware Control System
Sense the occupancy of the home using smart meters and environmental sensors like CO2 sensors, which can be integrated into the building automation system to trigger automatic responses for energy efficiency and building comfort applications. Appliance control and integration with the smart grid and a smart meter, taking advantage, for instance, of high solar panel output in the middle of the day to run washing machines.
Security
Remote surveillance of security cameras over the Internet, or access control and central locking of all perimeter doors and windows.
Air Quality Control
Monitor the air quality and pollution level and generate alert if the level crosses a specified range.
