"Smart House": equipment and functionality of intelligent control system

7 answers to the most frequently asked questions about what is a "smart house" and what he needed sensors

Assemble the "smart home", "out of the box" on forces any person. One of the most important elements of this system - sensors. From the material, you will learn what they need and where to put them.

Smart home, what is it? What is it for?

"Smart House" - a country house in which all devices and engineering equipment, on a pre-established scenarios, to manage a single automated system, with the possibility of remote access from a mobile device.

A user at any time and from anywhere in the world can control all the life-support system at home, and receive notification about their work on the mobile phone.

System of "smart home" can be equipped and the apartment and apartment complex.

What equipment can manage the system "Smart House"?

"Smart Home" can be controlled:

heating;
water supply;
the electrical system and electrical equipment;
video surveillance system;
sensors leakage, gas leakage, smoke, motion, and light;
security system;
audiovisual media.

In the conventional home, these systems operate independently from each other. The "smart" they are related to each other in a network, under common control, which directly affects the level of comfort and ease of living in a country house. The number of possible scenarios and thus the sensors and actuators depends on the needs of the user "Smart home".

What you need to buy to mount a system of "smart home"?

You will need:

Controller - the central control unit - the "brain" smart home.
Sensors that transmit data to the controller.
The actuators. For example, actuators and valves, which block the water during an accident or when gas leak.
Appendix (specialized software) installed on the mobile device, by which a user remotely controls and manages the system of "smart home".

Why the need for a gas leak detector? How it works in the "smart house"?

The sensor is mounted on the gas facility. It responds to the increased concentration of gas in the room. If the gas leaks, an alarm is triggered and light indication on the device, and the user's mobile device sends a notification of an accident.

If a gas leak sensor is triggered, if the pre-configure such a scenario, and it will shut off the gas supply smokers. This will prevent a gas explosion, fire, fire, and damage to property.

How does the smoke detector? Why does he need a "smart home"?

The sensor works - with increasing permissible smoke concentration siren is activated. The system of "smart house" in the user's mobile device will come alert.

If you program the system and install additional equipment to run a script "Fire".

For example, turn on emergency lights, lamp signaling, smoke starts the system, the valves overlap of gas equipment. To quickly leave the house at night, it is illuminated staircase. Also go call signal to the fire department.

As a sensor of water leakage in the "smart house" to protect your property from damage, and neighbors from flooding?

These sensors are placed in locations of possible water leaks - on the floor in the bathroom, under the sink, washing machine, under the pipes and heating radiators.

If the water gets to the contact pads of sensors, they send a signal to the control unit.

It sends to the mobile device real estate owners about the accident notification and, at the same time, it gives the command executing device - shut-off valve, such as ball valves with electric drive, stop the water supply in a house or in apartment.

What are motion sensors and "smart lighting"?

Consider the standard domestic scenario:

You turned on the light in the room and leaving, forgot to turn it off.
You get up at night to get to the toilet, and you have to fumble his hand on the wall to find the switch.
You left a few days out of the house and do not want to leave it dark, t. E. you need to simulate the presence of someone in the house to scare off intruders.

Now consider how the lighting in the "smart house":

Motion sensors "see" when someone enters a room and automatically turn on and then turn off the lighting when the user left the room. This reduces the costs for the use of electricity.
If the "smart house" someone got up at night, the lighting, receives a signal from the motion sensor, switch on. It is easier to navigate, if you, for example, need a bathroom.

In the "smart house", out hosts, the light in the house and on the street will be switched on and off according to a predetermined scenario. This will create the illusion that the room someone is there and confuse thieves plans.

This - not all the possible scenarios and situations. The combination of various sensors, will allow you to configure the "smart home" for your lifestyle and personal needs.
