Frequently asked questions

1. What is home automation?

This is the ability to control your home’s with a simple touch .Home automation systems are designed to provide convenience and efficiency to all aspects of your home including your home theater, multi-room music, lighting, heating and cooling, and security systems. You can also think about your priorities in terms of effortless entertainment, comfort and convenience, or peace of mind. At its core, a home automation solution is a system consists of:

  • A controller that transmits commands.
  • A series of modules and adapters that connect to lights and appliances and accept commands from the controller.

2. How does home automation work?

Here’s the situation: you’re in the bedroom late at night and realize you’ve left the lights on in the living room. With a home automation system in place, you can pick up a controller at your bedside and turn it off remotely. When you press the button to turn off the lights, here’s how it works in this basic implementation:

  • The controller issues a command to a module with unique identifier (such as the one connected to the living room lamp).
  • The command is relayed over your transmission system–either power line network, radio frequency (RF), or Wi-Fi.
  • The module or adapter receives the signal and initiates the simple command (“turn off light”)

3. Does this work just when I’m in my house?

The amount of control you want over your home automation–and where you want to access it–can also dictate the type of system you need. If you just want control over lighting and appliances in other rooms while you are physically in your home, a closed home automation system with controller specific to that system will be fine.
