Real Estate and Home Improvement

When they started their first trials with advanced appliances and home automation devices, the French named automation to a new discipline of architecture, marked by the spirit of inquiry and the pursuit of novelty that the technique made it possible. For the 1988 French dictionaries, the term was commonly used domotique accepted, understood as “living concept that integrates all security automation, energy management, communications and other services.”

To unravel its etymology, there is no need to combine two terms from different eras and disciplines: domus (house, in Latin) and telematics. In keeping with the proliferation of new terms that the computer results, the concept is also associated with today’s technology smart home.

The automation opens up new possibilities in relation to the integration of home, as also a means for the user to control and “manage” their everyday space.

For example, a typical day, the wise homeowner should not worry about the weather: the alarm system will inform you through the screen light table, how is everything out there, and even responsible to wake earlier if the report states that road you will find insurmountable traffic jams on the way to the office. The system will also be programmed to automatically raise the blinds, regulate the heat, turn on the coffee for breakfast is ready, when leaving the shower. When you start the day movements in the house, the alarm will turn off, so the irrigation system in place during the night hours to take advantage of lower power consumption, stop, and park lights will go out within one to one.

To leave for the office, you will not check the doors and windows: the system will inform you if one is not closed. And then remotely connect to your home to verify that everything is in order, and even give orders to the system.

Automation systems offered on the world market, different configurations can be seen common generic and allow classification by certain criteria. There are basically two kinds of systems: one that uses the existing 220V electrical network at home and using a two-wire bus. The most important technology driver for two-wire bus is placed next to the normal electrical system. This bus driver unites all communication devices together with decentralized ie denominandos through sensors and actuators that are connected to the system, the data stream going from one to another, report their status and react one on another. The driver of the system acts almost like a telephone conductor through which each device, each switch and each consumer can communicate with the rest.
