Smart home automation systems can be applied to almost all aspects of a home, but, this technology best use case involves appliances that require regular usage as this increases the convenience of using said appliances and energy savings. Imagine automating the robot vacuum cleaner to sweep the living room while you go for a hot shower each morning. The use of a home automation system is grouped according to the functions it provides. Some of these applications include:
1. Lighting: Perhaps the oldest component of the home automation system. It allows users to switch lights on or off, and oftentimes adjust its intensity to accommodate the desired ambiance. Some 'smart bulbs' are even timed.
2. Security: This involves the use of remote surveillance, smart doorknobs, central window locks, alarms, etc. There are even door knobs that require fingerprints to unlock. An automated system creates scenarios where all these appliances can function in harmony to improve the security of your home.
3. HVAC: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) appliances now utilize home automation systems to function a lot better. They function by using sensors in the form of thermostats or other relevant sensors to measure the temperature, humidity, etc. of your home. The system works to ensure the optimal ambient condition are in place without you breaking a sweat.
4. Smart Kitchen: This is similar to the appliance control, but is specially customized for cooking activities and detection for smoke, gas and water immersion.
5. Appliance control allows users to switch on or off all appliances connected to a “smart grid”.
6. Other areas where home automation systems come in-handy are leak and smoke detection, child and animal care, outdoor lawn irrigation, and a lot more.
