Overview and benefits
Home automation refers to the use of computer and
information technology to control home appliances and features (such as windows
or lighting). Systems can range from simple remote control of lighting through
to complex computer/micro-controller based networks with varying degrees of
intelligence and automation. Home automation is adopted for reasons of ease,
security and energy efficiency. But in my project, I want to control two
systems that are remote control and phone monitoring. In this case, if you are
at home, you can control by remote control while you are away from the hose,
phone monitoring will control its. An example of remote monitoring in home
automation could be triggered when a smoke detector detects a fire or smoke
condition, causing all lights in the house to blink to alert any occupants of
the house to the possible emergency. If the house is equipped with a home
theater, a home automation system can shut down all audio and video components
to avoid distractions, or make an audible announcement. The system could also
call the home owner on their mobile phone to alert them, or call the fire
department or alarm monitoring company. This means, there is an alarm to
warning to the people. If you are away from houses, the telephone alarm will
warning you by a code ir password. so, you can know how your house conditions.
n terms of lighting control, it is possible to save energy when installing
various products. Simple functions such as motion sensors and detectors
integrated into a relatively simple home automation system can save hours of
wasted energy in both residential and commercial applications. For example
imagine an auto on/off at night time in all major city office buildings, say
after 10pm. When no motion is detected, lights shut down, and the owner could
save kilowatts of wasted overnight energy. Similar controls on HVAC (Heating
Ventilation and Air Conditioning) in buildings could save even more energy.
Recently, Web technologies have been suggested as an application-level solution
to address the problem of heterogeneous home devices, building upon the
concepts of the Web of Things.
