“Smart home” has become a popular trend thanks to technological breakthroughs. This trend not only brings convenience, style, simplifies management operations, is environmentally friendly, but also increases safety in the process of using machinery systems at home.
The application of smart home has now been applied to many equipment systems in the house such as electricity, water, sound, … for convenience and safety related systems such as security access, elevators.
Management of electricity, water, lighting
As one of the first systems to apply technology to intelligent management, lighting and water management systems have made great strides in this technological journey. It can be said that these will be the first things mentioned when talking about a smart home.
The power, water and lighting management system can manage the entire system of electrical and electronic equipment at home to increase comfort.
This water and electricity management system is concentrated in several directions using light sensors, timers, remote controls, and setting time of use. The light sensor system allows the lights to automatically turn on when people appear and turn off when people leave. In addition, the brightness is also adjusted to suit the light intensity according to the time of day, which helps to save significant power and make use of the most of natural light. In addition, users can also set the usage time according to their needs or set the energy consumption for the devices to increase their lifespan.
In addition, this system can also automatically plan to suit the needs and ensure the balance of electrical appliances, such as sprinklers to water plants in the morning instead of in the afternoon while cooking or heat the water before waking up,…
Connecting system
This connecting system not only synchronizes between phones and computers, but also involves most electronic devices in the house such as TVs, speakers, disc players, radios, etc. As long as these devices can connect to the Internet, Bluetooth, etc. can all synchronize data and create a powerful communication environment anytime, anywhere. You can even perform control operations in the office via the Internet or smart-phone so that the smart home welcomes you home.
In addition, we can also expand the connection between rooms for easy management. This utility is especially useful for families with young children, the control of children’s entertainment and learning activities will be tighter.
The ability to manage multiple spaces anytime, anywhere with an Internet, Bluetooth or cable connecting system
Security and access control system
Security and access control solutions not only make your home more secure, but also bring convenience into everyday life. A connected security system can alarm, control security lights and monitor via cameras from a single control panel. With the connectivity built into the security cameras, users can monitor everything from any TV screen in the house. Especially with the network communication of the security system that can provide real-time images from the camera via web or smartphone no matter where you are. That way you can control access to your home while you’re away and turn on self-protection systems if needed.
Security monitoring system connects directly to mobile devices or remote server system to ensure the overall security control of the house.
Elevator control system
For those who use elevators, it is possible to combine the home elevator system with the smart home system, which can help you control and monitor the elevator’s operation with the support of a camera installed in the cabin. In addition, if you want, you can integrate a system to send messages automatically from the elevator to handheld devices such as smartphones, tablets in case the elevator has problems. This is useful when your family has elderly people or young children, when you are alone at home, if you accidentally get stuck in an elevator, the smart device will send an instant message to notify you for the timely help.
In addition, current elevator products are also developed with many integrated technologies. Such as the Stroke Warning System (SWS), EMCALL, Flood Detection System (FDS), Smart Entry System (SES), … all develop to ensure the users’ safety.
A smart home is not only convenient but can also increase absolute safety for users. These integrations will become increasingly necessary and popular in the current era of powerful technology application development.
