What is a "smart home"
Recently, more and more gaining popularity so-called system of "smart home" and if we look at advertising, then almost one in three will be just about the intelligent management and control system for your house.
And the smart home - is not just a fashion trend at the moment, and it is quite natural desire for maximum comfort. In this article I want to tell you about the system and what it contains.
What is a smart home, what functions it can perform
Smart House - is an intelligent system that primarily provides safety, maximum comfort for the living and resource of your home. So let's find out what can make wiser sharply House (describe its advantages).
1. Manage all lighting.
· That is, the system is able to turn on the lights, in response to the signal from the motion sensor. In the event of your absence in the house turn on and off lights in the house, thus creating the effect of a human presence.
· Implement the backlight adjustment depending on the mortgaged program.
· Enable or disable lighting via remote access (via Internet).
2. Monitor the microclimate in the house
· Maintain temperature in predetermined ranges, with correcting distance (same online again).
· Transition maximum savings mode when your prolonged absence.
3. Security systems
· To carry out video surveillance of the perimeter of the house and inside it.
· Send alerts on motion detected or door opening sensors.
This is the main, but not all of the tasks that can perform intelligent home. In fact, the system is very flexible for every home can be implemented a customized solution.
What are the disadvantages of this system is at
Every system has its cons and smart home, they also have:
1. Expensiveness.
First and foremost, minus - is the price of that pleasure. If you choose a turnkey solution (which offer on the market), be prepared to shell out a tidy sum. You can, of course, to save and implement the system yourself, (purchasing components separately), but even in this case the price will be quite significant.
2. Dependence on the stability of the Internet.
All your devices are tied into a network and to ensure that you can manage it remotely, you need to, and the house was always connected Internet, and on your smart device.
3. The chance of breakage.
As they say, not only breaks down what is not. And all this e-filling, which is undoubtedly very reliable, it is still not safe from unexpected failure.
Also consider the fact that all the smart home modules are permanently connected to the power supply and surge and impulse noise no one is immune. Well, if your distribution panel should voltage monitoring relays, and if not, then throw an unexpected can bring almost all expensive electronics.
And that, perhaps, all the cons that I can emphasize (unless I missed something, please write in the comments).
The main stages of the implementation of the system "Smart House"
Implementation of this complex in their own home can be broken into five basic steps:
First stage. Any serious project begins with the creation of the project scheme, where you have to specify all the necessary details for the further successful implementation.
Second phase. Selection and acquisition of all necessary components: all kinds of sensors, controllers, cameras, relays, etc...
The third stage. Installation of cables and previously acquired equipment into a single network.
The fourth stage. After mounting all set up and test the functionality.
The fifth stage. Ceremonial start of the whole system.
How to make the budget system itself
Of course, to fully translate the house under the smart home system - it is very expensive, and if you are not ready yet such costs, but to try out all the pros really want, then you may buy, for example, one relay Sonoff and using it to implement control such as lighting.
or purchase smart socket and take control of iron (remember the hype about the iron off).
