Benefits of smart home

The alarm system works as a closed system. Still, under certain circumstances, it can forward its status to a smart home so that action can be triggered automatically in the event of an alarm or when arming or disarming. 

The advantage of a smart home: networked components can complement and support each other in their effect.

Surveillance video images look sharper when the light goes on simultaneously with the alarm. 

Ideally, it does not even come to the point when criminals target your home.

Deterrence is the motto. Hardly any object is as uninviting to burglars as a building inhabited around the clock.  In the past, a lamp with a timer was enough to pretend to be present, but today professionals are less and less fooled by it.  But what if the simulation of presence is indistinguishable from the behavior of real people?  A smart home perfectly manages this, for example, with light scenes that simulate everyday life and appear to follow virtual residents from room to room. If loudspeakers randomly play a radio program or barking dog, even good neighbors will probably believe that someone is home. Blinds that adjust their slats according to the sun’s position and do not stay in the same position for weeks also deceive external observers about longer vacation trips.

In addition, monitoring measures run unnoticed in the background but give the residents additional security.  

For example, the moisture sensor under the kitchen sink gives an early warning if water damage is imminent.  Anyone snuggling up by the open fireplace can use the CO sensor to find out if something is wrong with the combustion and if life-threatening carbon monoxide is escaping into the room.  Networked smoke detectors carry the fire alarm from the basement up to the roof.  They also send a message to their cell phones to inform them that a fire might be breaking out at home.  You can then see for yourself in the live stream of the surveillance camera - and, in an emergency, notify the fire brigade.

Many studies prove that energy saving is at 30% or more.

Here is an example.

When the first person comes home, your smart home automatically sets up the temperature in your house.   This principle can be further refined with presence detectors. You usually turn on the lights, but you also determine whether bedrooms or guest rooms are unoccupied for a long time.  The aircon mustn’t keep the correct temperature if nobody is in the room. A contact or temperature sensor on the window prevents the aircon from turning on unnecessarily when airing and wasting extra energy.  If you forget to close your open windows afterward, you can have smart home automation remind you to do so before the room heats up thoroughly. (in hot countries)

With a smart home, you can always see how much power your house uses, and you can manage it more effectively. Compared to the aircon, lamps and other electronic devices only account for about 10-15% of private buildings’ energy consumption when using LED lights. With Visualization, you can see the usage more precisely and manage the usage of all your devices more efficiently. You can control all the Stand-by appliances. Only so you can discover all the hidden “Energy eaters.”

If your smart house has the ability not only to save but also to produce energy, the smart solution was paid off twice. Thailand is the ideal land for a solar roof system, sometimes with a battery combined.

A smart home takes over many everyday tasks. Automatic light switching in certain situations - presence, automatic shutters and blinds, automatic locking of door locks, listening to the music in the room where you are only at a particular time, and so on. There are infinite possibilities for all functions.

You don’t have to run from one room to another just to run the blinds because of the sun. You don’t have to set your lamps for different events manually. You can choose one of many scenes (TV, dinner, work, party, cooking, relaxation, music, etc.) by pressing one button, controlling your tablet, smartphone, or voice control.

Maybe, you think all these comfort functions are unnecessary, and you can walk a bit in your house and do everything manually. 

Think about your TV. Do you use a remote control?

Think about your car. Do you use automatic transmission?

Think about your phone. Do you use a smartphone?

Think about your payments. Do you use a mobile phone application to pay for shopping or scan in the shop?

What about a computer? What about many entrance doors? Do you have to open them manually, or do they open by themselves when you are trying to enter the building?

We consider countless examples of automatic activities in our lives "automatic" today. But that was not the case at the time when these automated systems entered our lives.

Imagine you will get older or sick. Your smart home will become your helper and make your life much easier. You can be ready for your retirement.

An advantage of networked buildings is easily overlooked or receives little attention during planning: all functions can be changed at any time later. 

Once you plan and build your home, you will have some idea where the kitchen will be, where you will have a bed, sofa, dining table, etc. But what happens if, after moving in, you prefer a different furniture position and want to change the functions of individual buttons? In a conventional house, you can’t change the operation of the switching button on the wall without new electrical wiring.

Do you want a new dimmer on the wall in the dining room? 

Your children are growing up, and you would like to change the purpose of their room?

Do you want to renovate your kitchen and change the position of all your appliances, lighting, etc.?

All these changes are impossible or very difficult in a conventional house. In a networked smart home, all these requirements can be quickly met. It is just a change of logic without hard work.

You don’t like the LED strips in the kitchen and would like to get a more light, different color, or do you want to switch on the light over your dining table and switch off all the lights in the kid’s room? With our system, you are flexible. Also, if you don’t like the present touch panel, you can change it any time for the one you want and integrate it into your system without any problem.
