Home automation, or domotics, refers to the automation of functions within the home through the integration of information and communication technologies. This integration allows for remote and automatic control of various systems and devices within the home, such as lighting, heating, ventilation, security systems, appliances, and other electronic devices.
Domotics utilizes sensors, actuators, user interfaces, and control systems to monitor and manage home functions. This can be done through a centralized user interface, such as a mobile application or control panel, which enables users to control and schedule devices according to their preferences and needs.
Some benefits of home automation include increased comfort and convenience for residents, optimized energy and resource usage, improved home security, and the ability to monitor and control the home remotely, even when residents are not physically present.
Home automation is constantly evolving, and with the advancement of technology, new applications and solutions are expected to emerge to make homes smarter, more efficient, and safer.
