If we want to provide a simple and concise definition of smart home, we can say that smart home (smart building) or Smart Home is a set of tools that help you control some electrical and mechanical devices in the house to not only reduce costs Energy consumption will also bring you increased safety and comfort.
In general, to implement a smart building, you must first create the necessary infrastructure for this, often this infrastructure is a wired or wireless network that somehow connects the equipment of the controlled smart home to the control center, and if Implementing the necessary infrastructure You can enjoy the following benefits:
– Intelligent lighting control
– Intelligent temperature control
– Intelligent control of electric curtains
– Audio and video system control
– Fire Alarm System
– Protection and security system
– Plant and animal nutrition system
As a very simple example that you are probably familiar with, we can mention the lighting control of the building by this equipment. In this way, by installing equipment, the lights will be turned on only if a person is present in the desired location and the natural light of the environment is less than the specified limit, and if the person leaves the environment, the lights will be turned on by the smart equipment after a specified time. Turn off again.
Let’s continue with another example, in a smart building you can intelligently control your cooling or heating system, in this case in addition to keeping the ambient temperature at a certain level, you can specify that for example if For 30 minutes, no one was present at the place, the cooling or heating system would turn off automatically, or even if the window was left open, it would warn you to prevent energy loss, and if you do not heed this warning, for example after Turn off the cooling and heating systems automatically for 15 minutes.
Another feature of the smart home system is the protection system that can be implemented by this smart equipment. This means that if you put the system in alarm mode and leave the house, it will act as an alarm if the doors and windows open or if it detects movement in the environment, and while activating the siren, it can be connected to the system via a telephone line. Call the pre-defined numbers and report the issue.
As it turned out, smart building should not be seen as a luxury item, but a very efficient and economical system that, along with all the security and control features, also brings prosperity.
Each of the above has its own costs and you can choose and implement items according to the needs, tastes and budget. Obviously, if you provide the necessary basic infrastructure, you will be able to add other items to the existing intelligent building system in the future.
