Social Home Automation

What is Home Automation?

Home automation is the use of one or more computers to control basic home functions and features automatically and sometimes remotely.

Home automation (also called domotics) may designate an emerging practice of increased automation of household appliances and features in residential dwellings, particularly through electronic means that allow for things impracticable, overly expensive or simply not possible in recent past decades.

Most of the times when we think about home automation, we tend to refer to home entertainment such as home cinema, to security systems, lighting, operation of water sprinkling, heating and air conditioning, window coverings and so on.

All this technology and knowledge can be put into practice to make the life of elderly and disabled people a much better, easier and less tiring one.

With regards to this, it's important to think of accommodations which are designed to be an aid to the independence and autonomy of disabled people by meeting their needs and at the same time keeping a standard accommodation's appearance.

Home Automation is capable to provide automatic air conditioning systems and infrared rays which determine the blood heat. These are just two examples of the wide range of equipment which can be automated for daily use in order to break through those barriers that are partially responsible for social isolation. Automation will also improve house security and safety and at the same time keep low energy costs. There is also a software available in the market which allows users to view texts and prints in Braille.

All automated services and settings can be accessed via different devices with the touch of a button which makes handling such sophisticated technology extremely simple and easy.

It's a certainty that Home Automation can improve everyone's quality of life and in particular of those who have motion difficulties.
