5 reasons You should think about Smart Automation right now. Thank us later.
Does it feel quite comfortable if your room is well air-conditioned after returning from a scorching heat experience outside? Isn’t it more convenient if your home’s lights turn on automatically when you walk in, especially when you can’t find switches at night? Wouldn’t it be nice if your curtains closed, blocking the extra sunlight, without you having to get up?
This is not some dream-like imagination. It is real. With self-driving cars, self-working homes and offices will usher in a new era of technologically savvy lifestyles. It is possible in today’s world of advancing technology – Smart Automation. The mechanisms at play here are Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things.
Artificial Intelligence includes developing computer systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as speech recognition, visual perception, decision-making, and more.
On the other hand, Internet of Things or IoT refers to any device that isn’t normally connected to the internet, linked to a computerized network for salient programmability and customizability. For example – Smart lights are connected to the internet so that they can be operated via an app. IoT devices also have sensors that monitor changes in motion, temperature, and light; which leads to automatic execution.
In Home Automation, devices are networked together and connected to the internet through different communication protocols such as Zigbee, Wifi, Bluetooth, and more. Through electronic interfaces, devices can be operated through application software, voice assistant, or automated execution through sensors; in place of conventional method – using switches. Home automation brought forward through the advancing digital world presents several vital benefits other than remotely operated devices and energy savings. Let’s have a look at them before embarking on smart transformation.
Comfort
For different schedules and moments in one’s life, home automation has customizable modes. For example, when you come back home in the evening from work, AC has climatized your room at a level of your preferences and the air-purifier has refreshed your place, all done automatically to bring comfort and peace to you in your resting time.
Safety
Home automation ensures your safety and also protects your loved ones from challenges and day-to-day problems. For example, your elders in old age do not require to search for switches at night as smart lights automatically switch on-off at human movements. During the night, there is no need to worry about burglars as home automation takes the required actions upon sensing any suspicious activity.
Remote Control
In smart home automation, devices can be accessed and operated remotely through an app. For example, if you are out on a vacation you can monitor the safety of your home & possessions, and turn off lights or appliances if you have forgotten to.
Convenience
Smart home automation adds a lot of convenience to your lifestyle by allowing remote access, or control over devices through voice commands, and even able to schedule or automate operations of devices. For example, blinds automatically close blocking the extra sunlight if any, or being able to control lightning and set bedtime mode without getting up from bed adds extra convenience.
Energy Efficiency
Smart home technology allows efficient use of electricity and leads to energy savings. For example, when curtains are left open air-conditioner uses up to 20% of extra energy; also statistically a lot of electricity is wasted when forgetting to switch off is part of human nature.
While reading about home automation technology, one might wonder about the difference between smart home technology and home automation technology. Home automation is one step ahead of smart home technology, as it inculcates the usage of sensors that allow automatic operations of lights, blinds, and other appliances based on a number of factors such as the time of day, human motion, the temperature of the surroundings, and more; whereas smart home technology only involves controlling devices through smartphone application software remotely.
Also, it is of the utmost importance to understand that smart home automation technology does not replace switches; it is an added convenience.
