What is Domotics ?
Greater comfort, safety and savings are some of the advantages of the domotics, name with which is known to the integration of household appliances in a network that allows them to work in a coordinated manner and be remotely controlled.
Contrary to what we think, in all the houses there are a large number of these appliances prepared for a programming to make more efficient performances, saving energy.
For that domotics comes to your home is not necessary to change these devices, only need a specialist to design the network and connect or automate.
It may be a single device that performs a single action, until comprehensive systems that control virtually all the facilities: the appliance, heating, lighting, a system of alarms, the team of audio, video and computer science, until the irrigation of the terrace or in the garden.
For all the possible benefit of these teams the solution is to make that work in a coordinated manner, that makes this possible, for example, you turn it on the heating only if the temperature of the room does not exceed 18 degrees, which cannot be activated more than three household appliances at a time for not overloading the electricity network, or to turn off the light of the bath if there is no one.
All these systems can communicate among themselves through the electricity network (the appliances tend to use this formula) or wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (customary in the systems of audio, video and computer) and with the outside through the mobile phone or internet.
The teams that connect through the electricity network such as those who communicate via wireless systems may be remotely controlled from outside the home.
The basic network of domotics consists (in addition to the apparatus that we have connected) of the following:
* Driver: a device that manages the system.
* The actuator: receives the order of the controller and acts (power-off, climb-down).
* The sensor: captures information (water, gas, smoke, temperature, lighting, etc).
* The bus: the means to transmit the information (electricity network, telephone network, wireless).
* The interfaces: screens, which shows the information.
