1. 7 Ways Smart Home Environmental Controls Will Help Save the Planet

    It’s no secret that our planet (and those of us who live on it) is in danger. From global climate change to holes in the ozone layer to rapidly depleting natural resources and melting polar ice caps, our planet needs all the help it can get. Fortunately, people are waking up to the fact that we need to be more responsible about the way we live our lives and how much energy we use. More and more people are doing what they can to reduce their carbon footprints.
    In order to do that, of course, we need to reduce our energy use. One of the easiest and most effective ways to do that is by using Smart Home environmental controls. Smart homes are homes in which some or all of the appliances and electronics are controlled by embedded computers which can be controlled remotely. Homes can be built as smart homes or existing homes can be retrofitted to employ the technology. In many cases, these technologies are affordable and accessible today.
    Here are seven ways that environmental controls are helping to save the planet:


    1.       Automated regulation of heat. Most people don’t think to adjust the thermostat when they leave the home. In some cases, it’s because they haven’t taken the time to consider how much money it could save to run the furnace and air conditioning less when they aren’t home. In other cases, it’s simply a matter of wanting the temperature of their home to be where they like it when they come home. Using smart home technology, people can set their thermostats to the temperature they like when they’re going to be home without running the furnace or AC nonstop while they’re gone. Today, you can install a programmable thermostat for less than $50 and put yourself on the way to saving energy and making your home smarter.
    2.       Quick detection of leaks. Small leaks can go undetected for a long time and can waste lots of water. On top of that, they can damage housing structures, using up more natural resources for repairs. Smart homes use sensors to detect and pinpoint leaks, allowing them to be fixed before they can cause significant damage and waste. You can do this today by installing add-ons for your home management system, or by installing standalone sensors for around $80 apiece.
    3.       Eliminates the need to leave the lights on. Many people leave lights on when they leave the house, either to ensure they’ll be able to see when they get home or in an attempt to dissuade burglars. That’s not a bad idea, but it does use up more electricity than needed during daylight hours. Smart homes use an embedded computer to turn lights on and off, either on a schedule or manually via your remote device. Being able to leave the home without leaving the lights on saves electricity, reducing your carbon footprint. Today, you can install timer switches for your lighting outlets for just a few dollars each.
    4.       Raising our awareness of energy use. It’s been said that knowledge is power. When people know how much power they’re using and how much it impacts the environments (to say nothing of what it costs them), they will be more likely to turn unused appliances off. Smart home technology can alert you to electronics and appliances you have left on which are not in current use. Even better, with smart appliances equipped with embedded computers, you’ll be able to turn them off from anywhere in the world. These kinds of savings require a whole-house management system, and can be installed at the time the home is built or by retrofitting an existing home.
    5.       Compartmentalizing heating and air conditioning. We’ve long been able to compartmentalize heating and air conditioning by opening and closing vents. Realistically, though, who goes through their house and does that? Smart home technology makes it easy to compartmentalize your home. You can keep the areas which are in regular use at a comfortable living temperature while allowing unused areas to be kept warmer or cooler, as your local climate dictates. These systems involve installing a new heating and cooling system, and may include ductwork. Compartmentalized heating and cooling is most effective in new construction.
    6.       Making ecological responsibility economically advantageous. Sad to say, there are many who won’t make lifestyle changes simply because it’s good for the planet we share. Many of these people will make changes if they can see a marked difference in their checkbook at the end of the month. Smart home technology will motivate many people who are not particularly environmentally conscious to change their lifestyles. They may not care about conserving natural resources, but they do care about conserving money. Fortunately, the result is the same regardless of the motives.
    7.       Remote control of energy use using mobile devices. How many times have you returned home only to realize you left appliances on that should have been shut off? If you’re one of those people who forgets to turn things off, you’re not alone. Imagine your mobile device sending you an alert that you have an appliance running with no one home and giving you the ability to shut it off, either by pushing a button or issuing a voice command. Now imagine the energy we would save if everyone could do that. With smart home technology, they can. These systems are available in the newest whole-home management technologies.


    Will smart home technology save the planet all by itself? Of course not. If we have the good sense to implement it, however, it can be a major component in a larger strategy to conserve fossil fuels, reduce our carbon footprint and slow down global climate change.

  2. SAVE ENERGY THE SMARTHOME WAY

    Smarthome products not only make your life safer, more convenient and more fun, they can also help you to save energy and money. As a member of the Flex Your Power energy efficiency campaign, we can show you how to be a friend to the environment and your wallet through energy conservation.
    The average home spends almost $2,000 on energy costs every year. Lower your energy bills and improve comfort by making your home more energy efficient. The average household could cut a third of its current energy bill by switching to energy-efficient appliances, equipment and lighting. From lighting to thermostat control products, Smarthome offers a variety of products that homeowners can purchase to begin saving on energy costs today.

    HOW WE USE ENERGY IN OUR HOMES

    Percent of Residential Energy Usage

    HEATING AND COOLING

    As you can see in Figure 1, nearly half of a typical utility bill goes towards heating and cooling in a typical house. A programmable thermostat offers the flexibility and power to control the climate in your home efficiently to save energy and lower energy bills.
    With a programmable thermostat, you can set the temperature to different levels during set times throughout the week. For example, during the winter, you can set the inside temperature to a lower level when you are at work and the house is unoccupied. This can save you nearly $150 on your yearly utility bills -- depending on climate, home insulation and other factors.
    With home automation technology, like INSTEON, you can lower the thermostat setting and also turn off all the lights and appliances in your home by hitting a single preprogrammed button on the way out the door.

    LIGHTS

    While 34% of a typical energy bill goes toward lights and appliances, a full 25% of the utility bill is actually spent on just lights. Reduce your energy usage by simply turning off lights when you don't need them with automatic timers and motion detectors. You can also uselight dimmers to reduce wattage and output to save energy.

    AUTOMATIC TIMERS

    Program timers to turn on holiday and/or porch lights after sunset and off at bedtime.


    MOTION SENSORS

    Motion sensorsNever forget to turn lights off by using motion sensors that automatically turn off lights when a room is left unoccupied for a long period of time - perfect for garages, hallways and bathrooms. Occupancy sensors can cut lighting costs by as much as 50%.


    LIGHT DIMMER

    You often do not need the full brightness of lights in a room, especially in the den while watching TV or having a romantic meal in the dining room. Use INSTEON technology to preset brightness levels to match the occasion.


    ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIGHT BULBS

    It only takes 18 seconds to change a light bulb. Save money and energy by swapping your existing incandescent bulbs for energy-efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). For the same amount of light, the CFLs use up to 75% less energy and also last 10 times longer, according to Home Energy Saver. Click here to see our fluorescent bulbs and LEDs.

  5. Why the Internet of Things is more than just a smart fridge 
    'Now is the time for network administrators to fully scope out all of their ‘Internets’ and how everything interconnects'

    The Internet of Things (IoT) extends the end node far beyond the human-centric world to encompass specialiSed devices with human-accessible interfaces, such as smart home thermostats and blood pressure monitors. And even those without human interfaces, including industrial sensors, network-connected cameras and traditional embedded systems.
    As IoT grows, the need for real-time scalability to handle dynamic traffic bursts also increases. There also may be the need to handle very low bandwidth small data streams, such as a sensor identifier or a status bit on a door sensor or large high-bandwidth streams such as high-def video from a security camera. Consider the following examples and the applicability of network-connected device to IoT.
     What every business must know about the Internet of Things 

    Homes and offices

    Utility meters send complex data packets to service providers where centralised systems provide real-time monitoring to proactively detect and remediate problems such as blackouts, water leaks and circuit overloads.
    Data is analysed to improve efficiency by determining needs, spotting trends, and predicting demand. By virtue of its smart IoT fixtures, the city of Oslo reduced energy costs by 62%.

    Wearables

    From heartbeat-sensing fitness bands to step-counting smartphone apps, wearables are the public face of IoT. A portable device is connected to a service that aggregates data and, increasingly, shares it across social media, with a doctor or even a gym. The cloud-based services also push back analytics, motivational graphics and music, and location-based maps.

    Hospitals

    Hospitals utilise several smart devices, both standalone and those wired to nurses’ station monitors. Soon, these will be interconnected through a highly available and secure network with server-based applications that can track patient conditions by correlating all data – not just nurses’ readings – allowing better monitoring, data logging and big data analytics. An IoT-connected network helped St. Luke’s Medical Center reduce patient-bed turnaround time by 51 minutes.

    Factories and warehouses

    The flow of materials must be monitored and optimized for efficiency. Location sensors are embedded in components moving through assembly lines and inventory systems. The location of forklifts, pallets and workers are tracked as well, while centralised software directs the activity in real time to effectively respond to customer requests.
    The Internet of Things business process revolution
    By implementing predictive maintenance and quality control IoT, BMW reduced auto-warranty costs by 5% and reduced the scrap rate of defective vehicles by 80%.

    Dynamic application delivery

    Along with these various applications mentioned above, and there are plenty more. When an IoT node performs a service request, such as sending a medical data packet, the ADC (application delivery controller) determines which server, virtual or physical, can handle the request.
    The packet is then sent to the appropriate server for processing, while measuring the performance of the application and availability of the server. Application delivery technology can also remember which application server is handling a specific IoT node’s service requests.
    When subsequent packets arrive from the same IoT node as part of the same request, the session will continue with the same server, ensuring continuity of the traffic stream and reducing the need for renegotiation.
    An application delivery controller also monitors the health of application servers. Common statistics are processor and memory utilisation, server response time, and how different protocols are handled.
    When the servers slow down or become unresponsive, advanced load balancers dynamically route traffic to other servers to reduce client interruption.

    Evolution of the load balancer

    Modern load balancers focused on application delivery are more sophisticated and operate from Layer 4 to the Application Layer 7, making them more in tune with application server software, how the client responses should be handled, and the specific services being requested by IoT end nodes.
    ADCs provide packet encryption/decryption, reducing server workload and making it possible to apply advanced policies and processing on secured traffic streams while maintaining end-to-end security.
    Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) allows the intelligent distribution of end-node traffic across private and public clouds based on proximity, performance or manually defined business rules for optimal data handling and communication.
    To facilitate the dynamic cloud infrastructure, modern ADCs have also been adapted to integrate into virtual environments.
    How the Internet of Things will forever change the data centre
    An IoT application may include millions of participating devices. The number of connections and the amount of data is neither consistent nor predictable.
    Here are a few of the more pressing challenges to providing the backend connectivity and customer satisfaction in IoT applications.

    Handling huge amounts of traffic

    A motion detector video camera maintains a minimal connection to a cloud-based application server, perhaps a periodic ‘heartbeat’ packet that provides operational status.
    When the motion detector is tripped, the camera transmits streams of high definition video to be stored and analysed.
    IoT systems designers must plan to manage any quantity of data in unpredictable bursts without dropping packets, overloading the network or overwhelming servers – all while accommodating BI analytics software operating in real time.

    Maintaining fast response times and quality of service

    An embedded industrial applications or warehouse application that directs workers to pick up and deliver materials is a failure if it freezes or if is slow to process location-awareness packets.
    The server infrastructure and network design of an IoT application must focus on both maintaining fast response time and ensuring robust quality of service (QoS), especially in real-time location-aware applications.

    Security, privacy and regulatory compliance

    Whether an IoT application is industrial or consumer, enterprise or personal, data must be protected in transit and at rest.
    Applications store current and historical data about an individual’s health, location and finances along with the location and quantity of inventory, business orders and more. Data must be secured against theft and tampering.
    This can be challenging when data is transmitted across the Internet or even secured private networks and VPN tunnels.
    The Internet of Things - not just a numbers game
    Government regulations such as HIPAA or restrictions on transporting data across international borders may also apply.
    Key IoT security tasks ensure that proper application-level protections, such as DDoS attack mitigation, reach out to end-points and incorporate measures confirming the identity of entities requesting access to data, including multi-factor authentication.

    The Internet of Things is now

    The Internet of Things includes the connected refrigerator plus thousands of medical devices in hospitals; smart utility meters; GPS-based location systems; fitness trackers; toll readers; motion detector security cameras; smoke detectors; and embedded systems.
    Each of those IoT end nodes requires connectivity, processing and storage, some local, some in the cloud. This means scalability, reliability, security, compliance and application elasticity to adapt to dynamic requirements and ever-changing workloads.
    Now is the time for network administrators to fully scope out all of their ‘Internets’ and how everything interconnects, from how ERP software systems maintain monitoring rules and governance to how APIs talk to M2M application platforms, to how asset and device management mechanisms orchestrate version control and location metrics.

  6. Smart Home-Trap or Pie?

    Over the last few years, the discussion about smart home has got into the white-hot stage online. At that time , all kinds of intelligence brand make people don’t know how to recognize the authenticity.At present, the industry can be defined as good and evil ,people confused and things got messed up. But that also show a huge opportunity the industry has. You must act fast, and before that , you need a calm observation and analysis. 


    First of all, we should be aware that under the background of today's Internet of things and big data,the form of the smart home must be based on the Internet of things.The basic theory of Internet of things is “All Things Are Connected”.Within a family, if most of the appliances can’t linked together, that's far from intelligent household. Some companies have no bottom line to hype, As if the item is on behalf of the smart home system. 
    Even made a bracelet and socket, and said to the public it is intelligent household. Believe that most people encounter this kind of enterprise will take it l as a joke and talk about the cover charge after dinner.
    In particular , some single item products has recently lost interest after a hot argument . We must take a careful look into such these company, because we only get one chance to choose.  Otherwise, there will be no your shadow a few years later at this stage.

    It seems that the industry is full of traps and pie, in order to help you reduce risk and improve discrimination, we suggest you to observe from the following several aspects.We see Google, Samsung and Microsoft's continuously acquisition, and Apple announced to enter the smart home industry.It is not difficult to find that foreign Internet companies development train of thought is very simple, spending money buying existing enterprise directly .Domestic company like Mi Phone has also began the acquisition for smart home by ways of holding, equity participation, etc.There are ten million reasons to get start acquisition, but there is only one we should know, that is the enterprise meet some fatal problems in the present competition.

    So when we look into the history of business development, the takeover would never become the first-class enterprise. 
    Only the enterprise with an independent spirit can become the industry leader .


    The history of the Internet in our country traditional industry giants such as home appliances enterprises was also constantly acquisition, to buy into some Internet companies, but in the end, these companies have already disappeared in the history of China, so have independent thought and spirit of enterprise to grow into a new industry bench marking enterprises.There are some small and medium-sized enterprises, in order to build on the development of the intelligent household express, chose to join in cooperation, because the industry is too new, even in silicon valley, there is no success record can be follow, how to choose the cooperative enterprises become confused everyone's problem, so how to choose the cooperative enterprise, is there any standard can follow become common concern issues such as topic, to answer these questions, we need to review the industry development in the early development of the Internet, when all kinds of home appliance companies announced to the Internet, if you chose the reigning traditional home appliance enterprises at the time, such as Haier, Suning, now you must very regret, if you chose was the humble Baidu, Tencent, believe you also have the harvest.Global Internet development has started today, how to choose the cooperative enterprise will obviously related to the participants of prospect and destiny,  the following question you have to consider:




    1, whether Internet companies, is based on Internet of things intelligent household enterprises today, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the concept of intelligent household, intelligent household is the Internet of things in the family of a specific application, a smart home out of the Internet of things is clearly no future, so to understand the Internet of things is to know the basic of the smart home entrance, smart home without iot gene is does not have the future competitiveness.

    2. The development of the enterprise have a forward-looking vision, if you are now ready to or just started to develop intelligent household products, obviously you will face a huge risk, because a lot of factories were done in many years ago, layout of abroad Google, apple, 4 years ago began to set up a smart home in internal team, league sensing of domestic enterprises and even six years ago has completed the development of smart home architecture.A prospective development vision, the enterprises have a foothold in the future.

    3. How an enterprise develops its way? It all depends on whether it masters a series of intellectual property rights, especially the invention patent, trademark, domain name. China will attach much more importance to the innovation and the protection of intellectual property rights has become the consensus of the nation. We give the best explanation by setting up intellectual property courts successively in places such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Especially in the emerging field of smart home, industry invention patent values much more than gold. An enterprise without its own patent will definitely face development bottleneck and fail in the competition with those who have their own patents.

    4. How to evaluate the strength of an enterprise? The development of every enterprise has rules to follow. It’s all reflection of enterprise strength that an enterprise is in the growing or affects the development of the industry. Smart home today is developing rapidly and it is difficult for a company to exist if it can’t keep up with the development speed of the industry. The best way to know an enterprise is to investigate. No investigation, no right to speak. It is always most likely for a fighting company to succeed. Through the above analysis, I believe you can have an understanding of the prospects of the smart home and make smart choice according to your situation.

    Your kitchen has always been “command central” when it comes to cooking, entertaining, enjoying family discussions and more. You will be surprised how smart technology pairs with your favorite appliances, faucets, and cook top surfaces can be controlled through smart technology. Many homes have their smart tablet or keypad built into the wall in the kitchen to have access of other parts of the home. While many homeowners prefer the on-screen directions of their refrigerator that can access the Internet, can play music, or they can watch their favorite cooking television program – right on the screen of their refrigerator.

    3.Saving energy and controlling safety in the kitchen:

    Many homeowners think that smart technology is only for people who want to have a remote control to everything! On the contrary, many smart home technologies actually help keep your family safe while saving you water and energy in the kitchen. Induction cooktops are one of these examples that produce heat that only heats the cookware when the metal comes in contact with the induction cooktop surface. This means a safer kitchen to work in, and less heat being generated for comfort while cooking.

    4. Smart home convenience wherever you are:

    While the kitchen has many amenities for your smart home tastes, all homeowners should assess their lifestyle, to see what amenities would best fit their home and family. If you’d like to control music, lighting, visual entertainment throughout your home, temperature or security systems, you can hire total smart home consultants who can walk you through the benefits of different configurations. While you may think that a smart phone activated security system is overkill, you may reconsider if you have school-aged children that come home from school before you come home from work, or if you travel often. Assess what smart home functions will work best for you.

    5.Controlling your faucets and bathing experience in a smart bathroom:

    There aren’t too many homeowners who don’t love total comfort and relaxation in their bathrooms. Smart home technology is the perfect way to be able to not only control your bathing experience while lounging in the tub, but you can also control your shower’s temperature, spray, steam, audio, and lighting of your shower, all at the touch of a button. If you share your bathroom, why not program each users favorite settings and have your favorite music cued through sound tile speakers? That’s what smart home technology can offer in your bathing routine.

    6.Water savings made easy with smart home technology:

    While enjoying your bathroom is one topic, enjoying the savings on your monthly water bill is another. Instead of dreading your water usage each month, take advantage of smart water fixtures that use less water but have larger water droplets to produce a more luxurious experience? One example are Delta Brizo brand faucets that offers a H2Okinetic® shower heads that sculpt the water into a unique wave pattern, creating the feeling of more water without using more water. Other faucets can turn on and off automatically by motion and the temperature of the water can be seen by a color LED light indicator before putting your hands under the water. These smart technologies ensure a better and safer user experience and less water wasted – all at once.

    7.Cooling and heating your home the smart way:

    Your daily home can use a lot of energy for cooling and heating to keep your family comfortable in all seasons and climates of the world. In order to do this without costing a fortune for fluctuations of outdoor air temperatures, your home can have smart technology that helps you control and monitor your energy usage with thermostats such as the Nest learning thermostat. It “learns” your family’s lifestyle and connected to a Wi-Fi connection enables homeowners to control settings from any Internet enabled smart device. Register your email and home location and you will get monthly energy usage reports sent to you directly to see how you compare with other homeowners in your city.

    8.“Smart” heating and cooling through architecture and design:

    Other creative ideas for helping homeowners with heating and cooling doesn’t involve innovative electronics but rather placement of windows and doors and the position of your home can help take advantage of nature’s seasons and temperature changes naturally. A passive house is designed to maximize its ability to heat itself in winter and cool itself in summer. This is designed by careful consideration of a home’s site and how the sun moves across the sky, where the trees and other vegetation are located, where the winter winds come from, etc. This “smart” technology of this Passive House is an example of using the Earth’s resources and adapting our home’s to work with nature.

Coffee tables that enable you to control your home, surf the Internet, and entertain your guests are already being used in hotels, casinos and hospitality industries.

  10. Automation and control systems help to create a safe and comfortable living environment. Please read on to discover the five main benefits that come with the installation of a smart home automation system.

    Smart Home Sytems are Fun!

    Automated home products are fun to use and share with others. Whether it is managing the home lighting system from your iPhone or managing your home entertainment system, you'll find home automation surprisingly enjoyable. And when it comes to impressing the friends, you'll be happy to show off your newfound automated home products. With the broad selection of home automation products offered by ConnectedHomes.EU, you can control just about anything you wish in your home.

    HomeAutomation & Control Systems are simple to use!

    Once installed a home control system provides you with the ability to easily control all security, heating, lighting, and entertainment via an iPad, SmartPhone or PC.

    HomeAutomation Systems are convenient

    Here are some real examples how convenient to use this stuff is:
    • I'm not promoting sitting on the couch all day :-) but some people use their control and automation system to run simple scenes such as combining multiple commands to their TVs with instructions to dim lights in the room.
    • When going to bed at night, wouldn't be useful to tap the 'All Lights Off' button on your smartphone or tablet. It is no longer necessary to walk around and switch off all switches in your home one at a time. Go for a run instead if you want to stay fit and use your automation system to stay lazy around the house :-)
    • What about setting up a scene every morning to 'encourage' the kids to get out of bed at a reasonable time by automatically turning on the lights in their rooms, combined with a little bit of background music!
    With Home Automation systems it is very easy to assign a scene to a button on your smartphone and get your smart home to do pretty much anything!

    HomeAutomation Systems improve Safety Levels

    There are a bunch of safety benefits associated with installing home automation systems; namely:
    • Instant notification once an intruder steps onto your property - Most homeautomation controllers support alarm capabilities. Thus if you are on holidays or leave for a weekend, your Home Automation alarm system remains alert and guards your property 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. If on the off-chance something happens such as an intruder breaks in or a fire starts than you, your neighbours, family or friends find out about this immediately via SMS text message, telephone or email notifications. As soon as you receive an alarm report from your Home Automation Controller, you can respond immediately so as not to waste any precious time.
    • View live video and store evidence on the cloud! - Home automation systems allow you to store IP camera images on a secure server, which may be used as evidence for the police - if required.
    • Trigger lights when the smoke alarm goes off - The best home automation systems nowadays allow you to turn all the lights on around the house when smoke is detected. Pretty important! Not possible with the traditional smoke alarms installed in millions of homes around the world - this is a really important safety aspect of home automation systems.
    • Activating lights as you approach your home - You'll be surprised how much safer you'll feel when you arrive home to a well lit property. Keyfob remotes and lots of smartphone Apps are available to a facilitate this safety feature.
    • Water flooding and Freezing problems - Certainly here in Rainy Ireland, we encounter lots of flooding and occassionally some sub-zero temperatures! Interfacing a flood sensor with your home automation controller will enable notifications to your smartphone of flooding events as they start to occur.


    Save energy, stop standby consumption

    A smart Home Automation system allow you to save money and even save the environment! If you're like me and getting forgetful in my old age :-) than use an automation system to switch off equipment and lights that are turned on and drawing some power. I am worn out from asking/telling my kids to turn off rooms around the house!
