Domotics in general, refers to the platforms that control and automate the processes in homes or offices. It is also known as intelligent home systems.
To achieve this, hardware and software elements are implemented, developed and designed to specific needs of each user, so each system is customized to meet a real need.
Among the additional advantages provided by home automation is the reduction of energy consumption in a real way, such as controlling the lighting, appliances, hot water in the shower or washing machines; as well as improving the quality of life of people with disabilities or older people, since it facilitates the control of various electronic elements of the home, even controlling by voice, the operation of these, promoting personal autonomy, regardless of their condition of disease, disability or aging. Even the possibility of improving surveillance automatically, since elements such as surveillance cameras, alarms, automatic door and window closures, among others, are integrated into the system.
Let’s take into account that, thanks to domotics, any activity that we must carry out immediately, whether it is work or recreation, can be executed with total comfort and speed, which saves us time and resources.
One of the most attractive advantages of home automation is the collection of information and data, through the sensors receiving orders, which allows to remember patterns for future executions, further customizing the existing home automation system.
Every time that home automation is included in the design and construction of the houses, it will make the installation and maintenance costs more accessible, and therefore, it will decrease the market value of the already existing systems for housing or offices.
