Automated Homes becoming a Way of Life
Did you ever have a good heart-to-heart rendezvous with your house? A real soul-searching, tell-it-like-it-is discussion about your needs and desires? Too many home owners neglect this meaningful tête-à-tête, and as a result, they and their homes, both fall into what can best be described as 20th-century ennui or, the not-so-smart home syndrome. Sounds farfetched? I got news for you. It isn’t.
Today’s latest home automation systems enable the house to do everything it can to please the owner, from announcing that the carpets need cleaning to notifying if the wine cellar temperature is a tad too high for your Jim Beam.
Home automation has been around since Joseph Henry pioneered the electric doorbell in 1831. Ever since, we’ve loved the idea of having our houses do things for us, making our home environment safer, cheaper to maintain, and hopefully saving us time that could be put to accomplishing something great. Maybe invent something or just spend a laid back sick leave from work.
Innovations like Tesla battery storage, smart thermostats, grid credits and smart meters are revolutionizing our power consumption. This, most importantly, also has a positive impact on both the environment and our bank accounts. As with any industry in India, automation for residences has become a commonplace. The market is crowded with several players giving away multiple product offerings at competitive pricing. At the heart of this trend is a critical shift in the home from electro thermal-mechanical devices to the ‘electronified’ home that features self-monitoring, adaptive learning systems. This year has been dominated by smart switches. ABB India recently launched its premium range of smart switches that don’t even need switching. Meaning, they are operable through voice commands only.
