Home automation, resource to create ecological houses

Automation of a home with home automation

Despite being a little exploited field in Spain, there is much that the Automation can do for comfort, safety and energy saving in homes, hotel infrastructure and buildings in general, without the need for cables or works.

The principles are simple. There are some sensors that capture the incidences, they transmit them to a central control which communicates with the homeowner, informs him about the situation and gives him options to solve the unforeseen event, the user's decision is communicated by the central control to the actuators who are in charge of executing the action.

The sensors are the captors of risk situations such as Water leaks, de gas or presence of fire and "Intruders", they also record the temperature level, de lighting and a multitude of circumstances whose control is an important energy savings and natural resources. The information is transmitted to the central control, which either by Internet or by mobile phone, by means of alerts and short messages, warns the user about the situation who, in turn, transmits his decision that the central control sends to the actuators.

These benefits make our homes more comfortable, safe and green (environmentally friendly). These are especially useful capabilities for second homes because they involve remote communication to control the house but it can also be controlled by being present in it, from a single place, simply with the remote control.

El coste of a fully automated new house represents an increase of between the 5 and the 7 percent additional but is amortized in a short term for the saving to be held in the electric, gas and water bills. Manufacturers are trying, with increasing success, to create ever friendlier user interfaces that are easy for the general public to use and pay particular attention to their accessibility for the disabled.
