Automation is the process of automatically performing everyday functions around
the home to save you time, energy, money and at the same time offering
improved security.
The automation is performed by a central controller. This can be either a
standalone unit or a piece of software on a PC. Both options have their
advantages. The controller can carry out a number of functions:
Functions
Send signals to switch lights and appliances on or off. Open and close contacts to operate high and low voltage devices. Schedule and initiate events, such as watering the garden Issue and accept infra red commands Interface with other systems, i.e. X 10, telephone, computer, heating etc.
Home automation is anything that gives you remote or automatic control of things in & around the home. The systems that you can control include: Lighting, Appliances, Heating and cooling, Security and monitoring systems,
Entertainment ( home audio and video ) , Communications ( telephones and intercoms, internet ) , Lawn sprinklers, Curtain movements, Pool filter pump, Spaheater, Filtration unit, Gate/garage door motor, Shade motor control, Roof sprinklers, Electric strikes, Keyless entry etc. This central controller can be accessed and controlled through interfaces like keypad, wired or wireless touch-screens ( with/without video ) , universal remotes, mobile devices. Home automation provides a more convenient & elegant atmosphere for the family to compliment and match the lifestyle. Every one in the family experiences the comfort of automation with added convenience through integrated control of scheduled common lifestyle activities performed everyday.
An automated home can provide security, temperature, lighting, and audio
control for comfort, convenience, and safety. It creates reliable and coordinated ontrols to operate home devices automatically for simplifying operations. ome automation saves your time and effort by controlling you home utomatically for performing routine functions such as watering your grass, or urning off all lights, setting the thermostat to economy mode, control scheduled ppliances operation and arming the security system when you retire for the night
Home automation provides you with the comfort of whole home audio/video
integration so that any source could be placed anywhere in a home and still be enjoyed everywhere in a home.
Home automation provides you pro-active home security so that you can look in on your home remotely from anywhere in the world, or that your home will phone you if it finds anything suspicious, or that a fire will alert your home to wake you, shut down the gas and ventilation system, turn on a lighting path for your escape, and automatically phone the fire/police department. In other words it integrates your alarm system with other home systems for a response to intrusion that meets your needs of enhanced Safety.
The term 'home automation' is now acknowledged as covering most I.T.,
automation, communication and wiring aspects of our homes. Most of these
functions can be installed independently of each other, but the real benefits of
the automated home are realized when these different aspects communicate
with each other. For example, having two PCs networked together in the home, giving both users access to the internet may seem like the forefront of
technology, but imagine if they were tied into our house wiring and could turn
lights and appliances on and off automatically when we are away from home,
even via the internet. Imagine that the PC was networked into our security
system and could display images from our home security cameras onto our
computer screen at work. Imagine that your security system was tied into your
telephone and could ring your mobile in the event of a burglary, you could even talk to visitors to your door from anywhere in the world.
Objectives of Home Automation
Home Automation Saves Money by lowering your monthly utility bills with the
remote & scheduled control of lights, appliances, sprinklers and your air conditioning
Never walk into a dark home again.
Have the porch light automatically turn on when you open the front door after dark. Lighting and audio controls can make a vacant home look and sound occupied.
You could set your Omni home control system to automatically call you at work when your child comes home from school and keys in his security code into the security system.
Call your home control system over the phone to make changes to your system.
Log into your home control system over the Internet via Snap-Link or Web-Link II and change your temperature settings.
Set the temperature setting on your Omnistate to automatically turn up when the security system is armed in the morning. It is then automatically turned down one-half hour before you normally get home in order for you to arrive home to a comfortable house.
If you are leaving early from work, you can call into your home control system to manually set the temperature to where you want it to be when you get home.
Convenience
An automated home is about the convenience of saving your time and effort by having your home automatically do routine functions such as watering your grass ( but only if it has not rained recently ), or turning off all lights, setting the thermostat to economy mode and arming the security system when you retire for the night.
