Something about home automation or smart building - PART II

Hello,

we have finished our topic at the review of the differences between the automation systems. We have already mentioned that the basic difference is in the type of connection between the components of the automation system. The "wired system" is a server / central unit that is physically connected to all other users, devices, sensors ... while "wireless system" communicates with devices "over the air" or more specifically via radio frequency.

Let`s look at the wireless systems...

Like mentioned in the previous publication, wireless systems are a new era in the world of home automation. In addition to this statement, there are many advantages.

Affordable Systems

This is the first advantage. The technology is wireless, so we can avoid many costs at the installation of this system.

To establish communication between the central unit and a control unit in a hardwired system we need a lot of money, because the need for additional installation or  additional cables, wirings. We can compare the cost of wiring the system to the cost of conventional electrical installations. For example, if we paid for the electrical installation  1000€, the cost of wiring devices for automation systems is  somewhere in the same amount. If we choose the wireless automation system, we save a lot of money at the very start.

Flexibility of the system

A big advantage of using wireless system over  wired system is also flexibility.

It is very easy to install all the controllers, sensors and other devices in the already established electrical installation. It is not seen outside the installation like it is seen in the wired system, so there is no »mess«. We also do not have no additional costs if we want to make some changes in the system. Furthermore, if you know the basics of electrical engeneering, you can make the changes that you want in the system all by yourself at home! Of course it is reccomended that all the changes are fixed by experts.

There are a lot of advantages of the wireless systems.

Stay in touch with more informations, advantages, specialities and details of the system in the next posts in the bloog. Comming soon…
