Domotica

Posted by: CP62 on 24 January 2016

Hallo,

Are there domotica users on the Naim forum and what system or software are you using? Any pro or cons about the system you are using? I am Dutch and using the Homewizard and some plugs but i am looking now for Zwave plus. Any users here? I see on the forum about the Smartthings controller a lot of complains. So what do you think is the best controller on this moment?

I imagine this might make sense to someone. I wonder what all these names mean, and what they might do.

I was thinking that Naim owners are people also interested in home automation. But i understand know there trekkkies. 

 

Home automation is the residential extension of building automation. It is automation of the home, housework or household activity. Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security. Home automation for the elderly and disabled can provide increased quality of life for persons who might otherwise require caregivers or institutional care.

The popularity of home automation has been increasing greatly in recent years due to much higher affordability and simplicity through smartphone and tablet connectivity. The concept of the "Internet of Things" has tied in closely with the popularization of home automation.

A home automation system integrates electrical devices in a house with each other. The techniques employed in home automation include those in building automation as well as the control of domestic activities, such as home entertainment systems, houseplant and yard watering, pet feeding, changing the ambiance "scenes" for different events (such as dinners or parties), lighting control system, and the use of domestic robots. Devices may be connected through a home network to allow control by a personal computer, and may allow remote access from the internet. Through the integration of information technologies with the home environment, systems and appliances can communicate in an integrated manner which results in convenience, energy efficiency, and safety benefits.

Automated "homes of the future" have been staple exhibits for World's Fairs and popular backgrounds in science fiction. However, problems with complexity, competition between vendors, multiple incompatible standards,[1]and the resulting expense have limited the penetration of home automation to homes of the wealthy, or ambitious hobbyists. Possibly the first "home computer" was an experimental home automation system in 1966.

I think Naim Audio is going that way (now in a small way but it will grow)
