What is Automation? |
|
|
Not so long ago,
mobile phones were a
luxury we managed to
live without. Today we
are lost without
important phone numbers
and reminders if we
leave home without our
phones. When mobile
phones originated, they
were mainly reserved for
the wealthy, and only in
large cities with signal
towers. They are widely
available in every
retail outlet now. What
does this have to do
with home automation
systems? Just an
illustration of how the
convenience of
technology infiltrates
our everyday lives.
The most basic home
automation systems were
first introduced almost
20 years ago. Watching
the animated series The
Jetsons may have made
automation seem like a
wave of the future that
was not within reach.
Home automation has come
a long way since those
days. Now your PC, HD
television, lighting,
and audio sources can
all work together
harmoniously so that you
can enjoy new levels of
entertainment.
Home automation is the
coordination of home
electronics that help to
simplify daily tasks and
create convenience and
comfort for homeowners.
Automation systems today
range from simple and
affordable electronic
equipment retrofits to
extravagant whole home
systems for new
construction that cost
hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Prepackaged systems are
available at retail
stores to purchase and
plug-in to any home.
These offer little to no
flexibility, but can be
a cost-effective way to
upgrade your home
electronics system. More
advanced versions are
also offered at retail
stores and may require
the help of an
electrician to install
because of wiring and
hardware components.
There are many options
depending on how
technologically savvy
you desire to be.
A growing trend is whole
home automation systems
that cost more up front,
but pay off in the long
run. These systems can
be customized
specifically for the
needs of your family,
with as little or as
many components as you
wish. They offer several
interfaces including
web-based, mobile phone,
touch screen, PDA,
remote control, and more
to manage electronic
equipment. You can set
off a series of events
with one button press.
Need a helpful reminder
on trash day? Schedule
your system to announce
when it’s time to take
out the trash. Forget to
shut the garage door?
Access your home through
a secure domain on your
internet browser at work
and close the door. The
options are limitless.
Isn’t technology grand?
