Introduction
The advancement of technology has made our lives easier and has helped us to become self-reliant in all spheres of life. The idea of the smart
home is not a new one.
What is SMART HOME AUTOMATION:
A huge advance in technology is smart home automation which helps in effective home management and keep everything connected through a single
interface. All we need is a single app on our smartphone and tablet to access the numerous features and devices across your home. Smart home
automation technology has a very low learning curve, which makes it easier for users of every age group to access this technology. This is
making it significantly popular all over the world.
Benefit & Usages:
One of the major significant usages of home automation is to secure your home more effectively. Home automation systems , for instance can use
link motion sensors , security cameras , automatic door locks and other physical security measures across your home and you can operate them
easily from a single device anytime and anywhere. According to the electrical trade association BEAMA, the modern smart home would operate
primarily on a wireless local area network (WLAN). This makes smart home automation more energy efficient. The electrical appliances of your
home can be programmed to switch to an evening mode as the sun sets, or lights can turn on and off automatically when you enter or leave the
room, so you never have to worry about wasting energy.
The other benefits of a smart home automation include better appliance functionality which improves quality of life. It means users can
simply control the appliances and features in the house online to increase convenience, improve security, and even reduce household
expenses. It is undeniable that home automation is what we need and to live in in a home where we feel more secured , save on energy and add
new gadgets just makes living better.
How to Implement Smart Home Automation??
I started my career in Technology by making one of the very project that was Smart Home Automation using Raspberry pi. The Raspberry Pi is a
low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little
device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. That is how we
made a software with on and off button and created our own SMART HOME using AUTOMATION.
