Home Automation Systems
Home automation, also called as smart homes or domotics is a field within building automation, specializing in the specific automation requirements of private homes and in the application of automation techniques for the comfort & security of its residents.
Many techniques used in building automation are also used in home automation, such as
- Light and climate control
- Control of doors and window shutters
- Security and surveillance systems, etc.
Apart from this, additional functions, which are included in home automation comprise
- Control of multi-media home entertainment systems
- Automatic plant watering and pet feeding

If home automation is installed during the construction of new home, normally control wires are added before the interior walls are installed. These control wires run to a controller, that will then control the environment.
