Automation
Home Automation is an up and coming trend that the public looks for in residential houses, apartments, and commercial businesses.

Although many techniques used in building automation (such as light and climate control, control of doors and window shutters, security and surveillance systems, etc.) are also used in home automation, additional functions in home automation can include the control of multi-media home entertainment systems, automatic houseplant watering , Typically, a house during construction has more room for more automation due to the accessibility of the walls, outlets, and storage rooms.
Wireless is commonly used when a house has already been built and you don’t want to modify your walls.
Effects
In extreme installations, rooms can sense not only the presence of a person but know who that person is and perhaps set appropriate lighting, temperature and music / TV taking into account day of week, time of day, and other factors.
Other automated tasks may include setting the air conditioning to an energy saving setting when the house is unoccupied, and restoring the normal setting when an occupant is about to return. More sophisticated systems can maintain an inventory of products, recording their usage through an RFID tag, and prepare a shopping list or even automatically order replacements.
Some practical implementations of home automation are for example when an alarm detects a fire or smoke condition, then all lights in the house will blink to alert occupants. If the house is equipped with a home theater, a home automation system can shut down all audio and video components to alert the user to a possible fire or a burglar.
Security - Control and Integration of Security Systems
With Home Automation, the consumer can select and watch cameras live from an Internet source to your home or business. Monitor a front door or gate; watch people by a swimming pool; or check on someone in a room. You can control security cameras and watch what’s going on around a house or business right from a Monitor or touch panel.. Security systems include motion sensors that will detect any kind of unauthorized movement and notify you through the security system or via cell phone.
