Integrated intelligent building management system

technology name "smart house" in itself implies an intelligent control room. A set of devices, combined into a single system, ensure the safety of property, comfort and economy of resources. The system allows you to easily control the temperature in the room, lighting, alarm systems, security systems, and others.

smart home control system is a set of hardware and software designed to perform three main functions.

The first - is the management of various equipment your home from a single point. With a smartphone, computer, tablet, and other devices, you can control all smart devices, which are equipped with your apartment.

For example, you can turn-off the lights in any room or change its intensity, shoot or push the curtains, turn on and turn off the air conditioner, change the temperature, operate any appliance functions possessing such a possibility, and issue commands to perform any scripting .

This scripting is the second smart home control method. Script - a collection of pre-agreed with the user-programmed actions that smart home system performs the command

. For example, when the user comes home after work and sits down to watch TV, he can send a team of smart home "Watch a movie", while complex mute light, will close the blinds and will automatically adjust the volume. It should be added that the command can be implemented not only by means of the touch panel, but also via a PC or mobile phone.

The third point is the automatic control of the smart home. In this case, the system itself makes decisions on those or other actions, such as maintaining a constant temperature in the room, focusing on the performance of the thermometer. Similarly, you can manage, for example, an electric sauna or watering plants.

It is essential to simplify the life of a washing machine with SmartManager - you can run your washing things remotely, anytime. With any equipment malfunctions cope repairman washing machines.

It is believed that in order to fully extract all the benefits that is able to provide the smart home, intelligent building management should be comprehensive. Recently there has been the desire of customers to fully automate engineering systems of housing.

If they had mostly agreed on the installation of individual systems - only lighting control systems and curtains, only climate control systems, and so on, it is now increasingly established a full range. However, the installation of complex automation systems require the intervention of professionals, which is not always convenient. Moreover, such an option clever house is quite expensive.

Perhaps it is for this reason recently to manage smart devices in the home began to use hubs. They serve as an excellent starting point to begin to create an integrated intelligence system. In fact, the hub - a central controller controlling the right many other devices that are purchased immediately or gradually, and can perform a variety of functions, ranging from lighting controls to ensure the safety of

. One of the most popular hubs is called SmartThings Hub. Control is via an application on iOS and Android, as well as through the web interface.



SmartThings offers several products that can be integrated with a hub: leakage sensor, motion sensor, door opening sensor, as well as smart sockets, lights, cameras, thermostats and many more. Moreover, it can be integrated with devices developed by partner companies, such as switches Belkin WeMo.

Another hub in the market of smart devices presented by Insteon. It is also managed by the application for a smartphone or computer.



With it, you can customize the behavior of devices depending on the time of day and receive e-mails with notifications (plus push-notification) upon the occurrence of any event. Among Insteon products can be found thermostats, sockets, switches, door locks, motion sensors, leak detectors, wireless cameras and other devices.

Another affordable home automation system is VeraLite. Through the use of Z-Wave protocol, he can "communicate" with even those products that are not in line VeraLite. VeraLite automatically adjusted when connected to your home network. Moreover, it can function as a router.



However, such systems have one disadvantage. You can connect the motion sensors with light switches, you can program the thermostat so that it warms only those rooms, where there are people, you can even turn on and off electrical outlets, using your smart phone. However, this is only possible if you are resident in the house. If you rent apartments and often moving, the transportation equipment and re-install it immediately turned into a tedious task.

This creates certain difficulties in adapting smart home technology by young people who travel frequently. It tries to solve this problem IOTAS the company and its co-founder of Se Pike (Sce Pike). IOTAS cooperates with the developer with the aim to bring to every home smart technology. Its purpose - to ensure that tenants are able to fully enjoy the opportunities of the Internet of things

. IOTAS Integrated Management System is not yet able to work only with motion sensors, switches and sockets, however, using the company's application, the user can create their own rules of equipping apartments. For example, IOTAS can turn off all the lights in the house after 10 pm, when you go to wash, or, conversely, blinking lights, if you get an SMS-message.

"Transporting" smart home with you thanks to a cloud service. Moreover, you get access to the settings made by other users. Hardware IOTAS is wireless and can work with conventional light bulbs and switches.

Pike also said that the company wants to expand the range of available devices: implement smart locks, thermostats, hand-held devices. Complex solutions of this kind will allow customers to feel as free and will be able to meet all their little whims. It is no wonder that the competition to companies already want to create industry giants like Google. But maybe it's good, because the competition is pushing the market forward.
