 – Home automation and comfort of life

Intelligent management of the home, and more generally of the building, is at the center of several debates: environment, security, comfort. If through its various means of control and regulation, home automation is indeed one of the keys to the energy optimization of your home, it has many others.

Difference between home automation and connected objects

In the world of the house, marrying electronics and telecommunications gives birth to home automation and connected objects.

Home automation is an umbrella term for techniques and systems that automate, program and control your home, mainly to optimize energy, protect the living space and develop well-being at home. In this world of home automation, more or less significant objects called “connected,”, i.e. connected to the Internet (IoT), have come to complete the installations and participate in the realization of a real connected house (smarthome).

Home automation and energy

Home automation solutions for energy in the home are numerous. We can point out, for example, the regulation of heating according to the outside temperature with home automation heating, radiators and other thermostats connected … You can also establish scenarios or programs related to your consumption habits (vacations or not, times of getting up, leaving the house and then returning and night management).

This programming allows you, among other things, to determine the closure of shutters to optimize and manage with the automation of the house as the motorization of the shutters (from $150 to $400), the lighting of light bulbs and LED connected bulbs that have become affordable today with prices ranging from $10 to $200, and finally, the control of the flow and quality of water as much in home automation of the bathroom or washing machines, as outside with the home automation of the pool.

Save money and encourage sustainable development with low consumption!

Home automation and security

Home automation allows you to control everything (doors, garage, garden, pool…). For example, you can set up video surveillance with a scenario, or several, via an appropriate home automation programming, sensors and alarms (from $100 to $500), or detect problems such as smoke, for example (from $10 to $100).

Note: all these installations can be controlled by smartphone or tablet.

Home automation and living comfort

The well-being is also taken into account by home automation thanks to installations dedicated to children, people with reduced mobility (PMR) or seniors. The desire to keep older adults at home has generated many innovations from builders in recent years: specifically adapted houses and everyday objects designed for frailty.

Home automation also facilitates your daily life thanks to home automation of the garden, which allows, for example, to program the watering, automate the lighting, etc.

Inside the house, multimedia manages the sound and visual atmosphere with home cinema, intelligent screens, and music diffusion.

Robots such as connected vacuum cleaners (from $450 to $800) and personal domestic assistants greatly facilitate the tasks of daily life. For example, some refrigerators locate missing items in the fridge and use large outdoor signs to order and have you deliver what’s missing.
