- reporters@khaleejtim­es.com

Smart home features controlled lighting, heating, air conditioni­ng, video and security systems. They are all connected to each other, and can be controlled remotely from any room, or from any location in the world through an Internet connection — whether anyone is at home or not. Smart Home includes three services: Home networking, home automation and home monitoring.

Home Networking:

That is setting up your house for a smart future. It means reliable wired or wireless high-speed Internet access for multiple devices, both in your home and outdoors. You can enjoy high-speed broadband everywhere in your home, and have multiple people online at the same time. You’ll also be able to connect multiple devices to the network.

Home Automation

Home Automation does the leg work in your home for you. It offers you control over your appliances and the home environmen­t, as well as saving energy. You can control your blinds and curtains, lighting, air conditioni­ng as well as all doors and access points, all at the touch of a button, and even before you’ve entered the room or even the building itself. Home Automation works via a combinatio­n of sensors, intelligen­t switches, universal remotes and smart mobile devices that connect to the internet and with each other.

Home Monitoring

Home Monitoring gives you complete control over your home. You’ll be able to monitor your premises with sensors and cameras both inside and outside the home. Sensors can alert you about changes in temperatur­e, water leaks, and movement and motions in your home. This allows you to keep track of what’s happening at your home 24/7, giving you peace of mind wherever you are in the world.
