All about home automation
Alok Hada, the Managing Director of Anusha Technovision, a technology and innovation driven one-stop automation solution for lighting controls (using energy saving modules), motorised shades, audio-video solutions, Wi-Fi and networking, security systems including CCTV, access controls, and home theatre systems, clarifies all your doubts regarding home automation.
What is home automation?
Home automation is the independent control of various technological devices in your home. You might, for instance, programme your lights to turn off at the time you typically go to bed or simply control your lighting remotely. Alexa, which is a voice-activated smart speaker for home automation, can interact with spoken commands, play music, and deliver real-time weather, traffic, and other information. Customers can manage a number of appliances of different sorts, which makes managing household appliances easier and saves energy.
How does home automation work?
Any automated house must have an internal wifi network for linking smart gadgets to communicate with one another via a user-friendly smartphone or tablet app. Home automation utilises a network of gadgets that are linked to each other via various communication channels, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LAN. The gadgets can be controlled remotely through electronic interfaces using either an app or a voice assistant like Alexa or Google Assistant. Monitoring, control, and eventually automation make up the three levels of home automation.
Is there a standard protocol for home automation appliances?
Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and wireless protocols for wireless and Ethernet RS232 API-based connectivity are the main operational protocols for home automation systems. As a result, not all home automation systems adhere to a single standard protocol. Instead, there are numerous competing protocols available.
A low-power wireless communication protocol created exclusively for home automation is called Zigbee. Smart switches, door and window sensors, and thermostats are among the items that use Z-Wave technology. A more recent technology called Thread promises to give smart home gadgets dependable and secure wireless connectivity.
What are the popular home automation devices that are already in use today?
Home automation systems and products are becoming more widely used. Several aspects of our daily lives have also adopted this futuristic technology, such as voice assistants. In a home, lighting controls are considered part of home automation. Similarly, motorised shades, audio and video systems, security cameras, etc are all part of home automation devices. All of these devices can be operated via smartphone apps or voice assistant integration, further expanding the list of options.

Why do you think people need apps to control their homes?
Consumers find it advantageous to use apps to operate their homes in terms of comfort and ease as a result of smart homes, which automate tasks and enable remote access. With a tap on their smartphone or tablet, users can adjust the temperature, turn on or off the lights, monitor security cameras, or even turn on appliances. This level of control offers convenience and savings in time and effort. Home automation apps offer an additional layer of security and peace of mind, particularly when away from home, by remotely monitoring security cameras and receiving warnings about potential security breaches.
