The most intelligent home

Natalia Ryzhova Today it is impossible to imagine a modern apartment or a house without a mass of complex electronic devices. TV, alarm system, air conditioning: all that is necessary in a modern home. But management devices often becomes a problem. Finding your way in a dozen remotes lying on the coffee table, and find one you want - with this challenge every day facing the urban dweller. In the system of "smart house" control of all devices is concentrated in a single remote control or touch panel. In this house understands you are literally at a glance - a touch of a finger or a verbal command is sufficient to light came on, open blinds or turn on the TV. The term "smart home" came up with the American Institute of Mining buildings in the 70 years of the twentieth century. In reality, smart homes have appeared only in the late 1980's. The first "smart" classrooms have been established in Mexico in 1986 - in a smart office building, built by Honeywell in cooperation with Lucent Technologies. The most famous was a unique house of Bill Gates, which cost him more than $ 100 million in Russia, the first integrated system of automated building control appeared only at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The main component of the "smart home", his brain - it is a single control panel devices. Without it, the owner of the house, stuffed with electronics, we have to rush from one device to another, on and off them. When you create a "smart home" use the touchpad - the monitor, which reflects the buttons control all devices. Buttons can have names like - "romantic evening", and manages it by several systems. For example, this button provides a soft lighting, curtains down, and includes romantic music. Put the touch panel, usually in the office, living room and near the front door in the lobby. These devices can operate with different interfaces and integrate, it would seem most incompatible devices. In close contact with the touchpad are the universal remote control: it is necessary to adjust all the systems at home can be from any point. From normal universal remotes are different lots of buttons and compatibility with all devices that operated with a remote. It is not necessary that all electronics were from the same manufacturer. In addition, these panels typically operate at radio frequencies, making it easy: do not aim at turning off the device, it may not even be in the line of sight. With a unified management system is very convenient to manage climate-control system in the house. Necessary parameters can be maintained separately in each room, depending on individual preferences - temperature, humidity, fresh air. The house itself will create favorable conditions for sleep - at night the temperature will rise and fall in the morning. In hot weather, automatically turns on air conditioning, and blinds will drop. With the help panel, you can manage all the lighting fixtures in the house, and if necessary to obtain information about their condition. The level of lighting can be installed in different ways: from full heat to light a lamp. In addition, the bulb can remember your level heater in order to restore it after inclusion. And if you connect to the module lighting motion sensors, it allows the light turn on automatically when approaching the home owner. Similarly, the light will turn off, if the sensors for a long time do not celebrate the movement: it means that the owner simply forgot to turn off the light. If necessary, a "smart home" can mimic the presence of hosts in the house - on and off the light with the onset of darkness in some rooms. Thus achieving an additional degree of safety. As for the security system, it starts with smart locks that open card or code. Manage the locks can be from the house. During the invasion of the house security system sends a signal not only in security structures, but also to the specified phone number. Thus, the landlord will be immediately informed of the situation in the house. Can also include video. Guard unit is activated by sensors doors or other sensors (smoke, water leakage). The system itself can make decisions - to call the relevant service, or take action - to block the pipe, turn off the electricity. Smart house can a learner, ie the system itself adjusts its own control. The owner can influence the processes occurring in the home remotely, eg via mobile phone or the Internet. For example, it may order-town home to ventilate the room and fill the pool for the arrival of the owner. The system informs the owner about changes in the management of or related to the building itself, particularly on those with whom they can not cope on their own. This applies to unavoidable situations, such as fire, failure of electrical wiring, etc. The system of "smart home" can be used in a variety of buildings: residential, office or industrial. Recently, this system is of interest from consumers. However, a systematic approach to the intelligent management of the home is rarely used. Mainly used in practice boils down to managing a variety of household appliances by remote control and use of alarm systems. But the development of technology is such that the "smart home" can become your reality.
