In this thread i want to talk about everything about
home automation you can come with any questions.

What Is Home Automation?
Home automation is the automatic control of electronic devices in your home. These devices are connected to the Internet, which allows them to be controlled remotely. With home automation, devices can trigger one another so you don’t have to control them manually via an app or voice assistant. For example, you can put your lights on schedules so that they turn off when you normally go to sleep, or you can have your thermostat turn the A/C up about an hour before you return to work so you don’t have to return to a stuffy house. Home automation makes life more convenient and can even save you money on heating, cooling and electricity bills. Home automation can also lead to greater safety with Internet of Things devices like security cameras and systems.

The Internet of Things, commonly known as IoT, refers to any device that’s connected to the Internet that isn’t normally; for example, a smart light bulb that you can turn on and off via an app. All home automation devices are IoT devices, which can be automated to trigger one another. So while IoT refers to the devices themselves, home automation is what you can do with the IoT devices to make your life just a tad bit easier.

How Does Home Automation Work?
Home automation works via a network of devices that are connected to the Internet through different communication protocols, i.e Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and others. Through electronic interfaces, the devices can be managed remotely through controllers, either a voice assistant like Alexa or Google Assistant or an app. Many of these IoT devices have sensors that monitor changes in motion, temperature, and light so the user can gain information about the device’s surroundings. To make physical changes to the device, the user triggers actuators, the physical mechanisms like smart light switches, motorized valves or motors that allows devices to be controlled remotely.

Home automation works on three levels:

Monitoring:
Monitoring means that users can check in on their devices remotely through an app. For example, someone could view their live feed from a smart security camera.

Control:
Control means that the user can control these devices remotely, like panning a security camera to see more of a living space.

Automation:
Finally, automation means setting up devices to trigger one another, like having a smart siren go off whenever an armed security camera detects motion.

Home Automation System Components
While some home automation systems require hubs, some mobile applications connect directly to a router, which connects directly to an IoT device. Of course, it’s preferable when there’s no hub, as that’s just an added cost on top of the cost of the IoT device itself.

Remote Contro[/b]l
The hallmark of home automation is remote control, which is done through either a mobile application or through a voice assistant.

[b]Mobile Application: The mobile application allows users to control their devices in real-time, whether it’s shutting off the outdoor lights or opening the smart garage door for a neighbor. The app is also where users set schedules, create scenes, groups of IoT devices, and customize device settings, like having your living room lights set to the perfect shade of blue. Most of the IoT devices we’ve reviewed have apps for Android and iOS devices, making them compatible with the majority of mobile devices and tablets
