How Does Smart Home Automation Work?

All devices collaborate to form a remotely controllable network.

You can access and control these devices at one central point through a home automation system.

We mostly installed this system in a smartphone, where the users control the different devices and also allocate time slots for specific settings or changes to occur.

For example, the user can set the blinds to open everyday once it is 6 am and close once it is 6pm on the platform.

We also have triggered events. An example could be that the smart lock detects you coming and opens the door and also turns on the lights.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning devices enable these devices to identify patterns over time and adapt automatically. 

Also, there are other ways IoT connects to the internet such as:

• Wi-Fi enables these devices to connect to the web with a super fast speed.
• Z-wave makes use of mesh network technologies, short range and low power radio signals to connect the devices. 
• Zigbee uses the same technology as Z-wave to create networks through digital radios. 
• Cellular backup is idle when there is a power outage while data is used to keep the devices on.
• Landline backup is another method used to keep devices on and running when there is a power failure.
