    Study Notes

    Key Features of Home Automation Systems

    • Switching allows devices to operate in one of two states: on or off.

    • Typical devices for switching include switches, push buttons, motion sensors, and smart plugs.

    • Smart plugs enable remote control and energy monitoring of appliances, allowing for scheduling and automation, such as brewing coffee before arriving home.

    • Dimming (or ramp control) provides varying levels of brightness instead of just on/off states.

    • Dimming can achieve levels of precision, offering adjustments in 10% increments or finer (1% or less).

    • Used to create specific lighting scenes and improve energy efficiency by managing lamp current.

    • Timing devices offer the home automation system a way to track time and manage duration for appliance operation.

    • Common applications include scheduling for devices like water heaters and rice cookers, enabling regular switching or dimming tasks.

    • Sensing provides information about physical measurements or events to the system.

    • Devices like motion, light, temperature, and window sensors automatically trigger actions, such as turning off lights when no motion is detected for a set time.

    • Scene Control allows multiple actions (switching/dimming) to be executed with a single command.

    • It enhances room ambiance, comfort, and energy savings by adjusting lighting for specific activities, like dining, watching movies, or presentations.

    • Central Control provides the capability to control all lights or specific sections with a single command, enhancing user convenience.

    • Visualisation shows the status of electrical loads on a tablet or panel, allowing users to monitor and manage devices effectively.
