Smart homes allow users to control and automate lighting, appliances, security systems and more using voice commands, apps or remote controls. Devices connect to a central system and communicate with each other. Early innovations in the 1960s paved the way for modern smart home technology. Common systems use radio frequencies or power lines to connect devices. While basic systems start around $100, fully integrated smart homes can cost thousands depending on the level of integration and custom installation required. Smart home adoption is projected to increase significantly in the next decade.

DEFINITION SMART HOME

Smart Home technology intelligently gives you


ultimate control over your home by automating the
lighting system, dimming, blinds, electrical
appliances, audio and security systems.

Smart homes connect all the devices and


appliances in your home so they can communicate
with each other and with you.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

Anything in your home that uses electricity can be


put on the home network and at your command.
Whether you give that command by voice, remote
control or computer, the home reacts.

Smart homes work with fairly simple systems:


receivers and transmitters

Receivers detect a certain signal from the


transmitter, that issues a command.
FROM THE BEGINNING - HISTORY
The smart homes history can be easily traced back to the
early turn of the century, where electrical and telephone
wiring were installed in new houses.

Integrated smart home infrastructure was usually built by


hobbyists in the 1960s, but it wasn't until 1984 the term "smart
home" was coined by the American Association of Home
Builders. (www.Ehow.com)

General Electric company was one of the first pioneers


to develop a series of products made for smart homes
in the mid 60s, these products included portable
automatic dish washers and microwaves.

Different Types Of Systems

X-10 , the oldest and most simplistic integrative


home device was developed in the late 70s.

This technology involved utilizing basic


household wiring in order to enable the
household to become synchronized smart

All the household appliances act as receivers


while the transmitters issue orders in numerical
code
X-10 Lets take a look

Plenty of companies have tried to duplicate


the functionality of the X-10 system, but none
have been able to match the reliable design.
Why go through power lines when radio
waves can be utilized quite like how we use
cell phones or WiFi devices.
Zig-Bee and Z-wave are the two biggest
names in radio wave home automation.
Both of these are mesh systems, meaning
they are able to deliver a message to a
destination using multiple methods.

Heres How It Works

Each device on the network, such as a lamp,


light switch, thermostat, garage door opener,
pool control and others have an individual
code, selected from more than 4 billion
options. When you program one of the
controller options, it automatically idswhat
those codes are. Then when you press the
appropriate button, the controller sends a
signal to the device telling it what to do.

What is the cost?

The cost of a smart home greatly depend on


how smart you really want it.

There are control pads that go for around


$100 for basic models, But if you want it to
be voice controlled with lights electronics and
major appliances integrated all in 1 you could
be paying up to $1000s for a deluxe model.
Installation Costs

The cost of smart home process if you were


going to install from the foundation level would
be around $2000 - $5000 depending how big and
what type of wiring system you are using.
Example
Intercom System Wiring: $200
Room: Cabling For 7.1 and Projector Cost: $500
Alfresco: Cabling for 1 pair of Speakers: $100
Ducted Vac: Rough in only of pipes and 3 points:
$1,000
Conclusion

Keeping in mind that technology is rapidly


changing, it is important to recognize how
technology is changing how we function
within our households.
It is estimated that in the next 10 years 90%
of new homes with come equipped with
some form of networking, programming and
automation.
The future home is a SMART HOME
