Films often show a living space that seems to live its own life. Light bulbs light up with a wave of your hand, curtains open, and music plays after a certain word. All this equipment is intelligent home system, and we propose to consider how to make a smart home with your own hands, what is needed for this, and also what is the diagram of such a system.

Smart home - what is it?

Smart home Home automation is a residential extension of building automation. Home automation can include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), home appliances, gate openers, door openers, GSM and other systems to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security. It should be noted that for some categories of the population (elderly, disabled people) this event may become necessary.

WITH latest implementation SMART technologies have become part of our lives, many can no longer imagine their lives without automatic installations, software equipment, we need wireless internet, household appliances.

Home automation refers to the use of computer and information technology for management household appliances and their functions. This can range from simple remote lighting control to complex computer/microcontroller based networks with to varying degrees intelligence and automation. Home automation should mainly be as simple as possible.

Advantages of using " smart home» in an apartment based on PIC or WAVE:

1. Economical expenditure of time on daily setup of various mechanisms, receiving calls, sending mail;
2. The use of gaseous or liquid fuels, and later the use of electricity, allowed for increased automation in heating systems, reducing the labor required to manually refill the heater and furnace.
3. The development of thermostats allowed for more automated control of heating, and later cooling;
4. This is how security is often carried out industrial facilities, residential premises;
5. As the number of controlled devices in a home increases, their interconnection increases. For example, a furnace can send notifications when it needs cleaning, or a refrigerator when it needs servicing.
6. IN simple installations, smart can turn on the light when a person enters the room. Also, depending on the time of day, the TV can be tuned to necessary channels, set the air temperature, lighting.

A smart home can provide an interface to access household appliances or automation to provide control and monitoring on your smartphone, through a server, mini Smart for iPhone, iPod touch, as well as using a laptop computer (special soft: AVR Studio is required).

This heating, ventilation and air conditioning, HVAC can control temperature and humidity, for example, an internet control thermostat allows the homeowner to remotely control the building's heating and air conditioning systems, the system can automatically open and close windows, turn on radiators and boilers, and heated floors.

Lighting

These lighting control mechanisms can be used to control household lights and appliances. This also includes the system natural light, work of blinds or curtains.

Audio-visual

• Remote control presence effect (This is the most modern technology, which is used to increase security). It involves turning on the lights and playing music.
• Presence simulation
• Temperature regulation
• Brightness adjustment (electric lamps, street lighting)
• Security (alarm, blinds).

How to make a smart home

You can make an intelligent system with your own hands; the most budget-friendly option is to set up control of lighting in the house or turn on a computer.

To make a lamp that will light up on its own, you will need to connect it to special equipment. There are several options for solving this problem:

1. Install an acoustic relay (1 or x10-wire);
2. Attach the dimmer;
3. Connect a motion sensor.

The easiest way to work is with a sensor. It is sold in any online store, you can buy a duct device, or you can develop your own according to your parameters. The only note is that you cannot install an incandescent lamp with such a device, it may not withstand the load and explode, it is better to work with an LED one.

Another “smart” silent option is a dimmer. Here you will need to touch the lamp, depending on the number of touches, the speaking device will change brightness. This is very convenient to use on a lamp in a bedroom or children's room.

To set up temperature control and regulation, we need a multi-channel system. The central temperature and humidity control circuit consists of:

• Sensors (ds1820) that measure the physical state of liquid and air.
• Controllers (rfm12), which can be simple physical components or complex devices special purpose or embedded computers.
• Lunex drives that respond to controller signals.

Most modern way– this is to buy all the components of a smart home, wires, thermostats. Then install devices in each room, one thermostat for the radiator and one for the boiler. You will also need a controlled unit, or the “brain” of the entire system. It is recommended to install it on the heating inlet pipe.

The easiest way to install a video surveillance and alarm system. Fundamental provisions for installing security systems:

1. You need to connect sensors on the windows, doorways, electricians will be the most productive there;
2. The most difficult thing is to select a board; the smart home controller, the operation of mediocre parts, and the signal level depend on it;
3. Many experts believe that indicators should be mounted at floor level. About 20 cm from the baseboard, this increases efficiency;
4. It is advisable to establish constant monitoring and establish a digital system of contact with the security service. Often responsible owners install a special program on their personal computer, which allows you to control the operation of the system from anywhere where there is Internet (Elena Tesla and her book: “Smart Home: How to Do It Yourself” advises doing this; there are also other solutions there). You can enable SMS notifications.

A smart home is very convenient way to make your life easier, often the entire system is purchased completely (Arduino, KNX, Linux).

The cost of each system is individual. The most popular brands are the following: beckhoff, gira, lpt, redeye, Smart Switch IOT screen, teleco. We recommend that before building such housing, you consult with specialists; they will help you calculate the load level and calculate the power consumption.

To get ideas, you can scroll through V.N. Gololobov’s “Smart Home” with your own hands, DJVU or PDF, look at our photos and video instructions, read the advice of famous masters.

Today in Minsk you can find many offers from companies that deal with automation of residential and office premises"turnkey". But there is still a long way to go before the widespread implementation of the new technology in life, because most of these solutions have a high price. Minsk programmer Alexander Bogdanovich independently designed and installed “smart automation” in his home with the help of the Belarusian manufacturer Nootekhnika. He shared his experience with KV readers.

- Alexander, tell us how much time it took you to design and install a “smart home”?

I don't really like the name "smart home". In my opinion, this is more of a marketing ploy, which does not particularly reflect the very essence of the system, but the essence lies in smart automation.

It all started with the fact that after long wanderings around rented apartments, my wife and I decided to build own house. Already at the time of purchasing the plot, I began to think about smart automation systems. I wanted something unusual, and besides, it was a great opportunity to apply my knowledge, because I am a software engineer by training.

I understood that even at the construction stage it was necessary to lay down the possibility so that in the future it would be possible to “screw on” something and automate it where it would be reasonable.

About three years before construction began, I started designing everything on paper. I tested a lot of things, roughly speaking, on my knees, assembled them, wrote code. It works - good. I put it aside as a worked out moment and moved on.

Construction went on for three years, and about a year and a half ago we moved into our own house, in which at that time only two rooms were ready. And so, when it came to practical implementation, some of the ideas “fell off” by themselves as unnecessary.

- What main elements does your system include?

Today, my smart automation system includes four main elements.

Firstly, this remote control light using Noolite solutions from Nootekhnika. This is a very important moment for me. For those who live in an apartment, it may not be clear, because the areas are completely different.

The possibility of wireless light control (Noolite systems control lighting via radio) immediately intrigued me, plus the price tag captivated me. From the very beginning, I wanted my smart automation to be quite affordable in addition to comfort.

The switch, which is essentially a remote control radio transmitter, is battery operated. It can be placed anywhere, you can even glue it to furniture, the main thing is that the surface on which it is installed is non-metallic. One lamp can be controlled by several switches at once.

Now we have absolutely no conventional mechanical switches at home. Sometimes the Noolite transmitter just lies somewhere in the room, and only six months later, when we decide that this is where it is really needed, we stick it on. At one time I even had such a switch in my car so that I could turn on the lights at the entrance to the house.

The lighting is not controlled via an electrical network, so there is no need to lay wiring under each switch. The control unit, which is used to turn the light on/off, is neatly mounted in my wall; you can also hide it under a suspended ceiling.

It is also possible to control the Noolite lighting system via a USB adapter, as in principle with any load. And by controlling the load, you can control almost any electrical device, even to the point that using Nootekhnika solutions you can turn on or off the TV.

Another plus was that the guys from Nootekhnika are located in Minsk, they are a Belarusian manufacturer. So during the design of my system, I communicated with them a lot, and in general I was satisfied with everything. In the summer, Nootekhnika should release blocks with feedback, which I again plan to use myself.

Next I needed to know the temperature readings by room. I started looking for solutions. Wireless? At that time, to implement it, a lot of money was needed. One such sensor cost about $30, but there is more than one need for it in the house. As a result, I found a bidirectional 1-Wire bus, which I ordered in England. With a line up to 200 m, it works even without any additional power supplies.

The wires go directly from the computer through a USB adapter. Next, I bought DS18B20 temperature sensors in China for a dollar apiece, and a DS2408 microcircuit for controlling 8 channels for 8 dollars.

Another important element my system – automated lawn watering. When I watered 5-6 acres with a hose in the summer, I realized that automatic watering was necessary. So far, of course, it is in a semi-assembled state, but it has already been tested - everything works. It is controlled through an 8-channel chip and a key board that opens the solenoid valve.

Video surveillance. Over the course of a year, I tested several video surveillance systems. I chose Xeoma: I won a key for 8 cameras from them at a promotion, and I managed to save money again.

- How is the system managed?

The system consists of a regular system unit, a server with Ubuntu. All this works and communicates via a USB adapter using a 1-Wire topology. As for programming languages, I used Python plus MongoDB and the Flask microframework.

I rewrote everything several times, making the system simpler and more convenient. Now you can manage it through the Web interface, which is used mainly for adding scripts, and the Windows Phone application - directly for management. I sketched it out in a couple of days, and now all the necessary information is displayed on my phone.

Any script can be run manually or automatically. Soon I’m going to connect the Internet to the system, and it will be possible to control it from the outside.

- What happens if the electricity in the house goes out?

If the power goes out, everything goes out. And in order to “reboot” the work of smart automation after this, there is a Monit system that monitors all processes, like a parent watching over their children. If something suddenly crashes or freezes, she simply restarts the service. Of course, Monit itself could “fall”; this is not excluded. But for almost two years of test work there were no problems. When the lights come back on, the server automatically “rises” itself. In a minute or two everything is working again.

- How realistic is it for a person who does not have an engineering education to assemble such a system?

When we buy a box and sensors for it, install the application, and everything works - that’s one thing. In my case, the system is do it yourself, and everything in it depends on the software. The 1-Wire protocol involves writing special software through which communication with system devices occurs, and not everyone can write it. Most likely, there are some frameworks based on 1-Wire. But these will be generalized solutions that need to be “finished” to suit your needs.

- What important requirements does “smart automation” meet in your home?

I have two criteria: my system must be quite convenient and at the same time budget-friendly. The main elements - Noolite switches, temperature sensors - I can easily buy myself. In addition, I was able to achieve the flexibility of the system because I designed, soldered, installed and wrote the code myself. I needed automation that would be convenient not only for me, but also for my family and guests. As a result, I can easily add new elements and change the system at will, which is not something you get when buying ready-made expensive solutions.

Interviewed by Nadezhda Abramchuk

A do-it-yourself smart home is equipped with modules, each of which is connected to automation. Managing your home space from any room and via the Internet is simple and secure. Budget option automation will cope with the main tasks of creating comfort. There are ready-made solutions on equipment automation. One of them is modular system on Arduino. It allows you to select the equipment at your own discretion and install the necessary software.

Where to start?

The main link that will manage the entire system is the computer. It will be the server of our smart home system. A special board must be connected to the processor on which the software will be installed. The optimal solution is to purchase an Arduino board and install the development environment of the same name on your computer.

Finished products from this manufacturer can be divided into 2 categories based on their intended purpose - Arduino boards and shields. The board is a special module, the main element of which is the controller. The necessary programs for managing a smart home are written to the controller. Shield is an additional fee that expands capabilities. It contains one or another peripheral that controls the controller. The shield must be placed on top of the controller.

Important: For each module, an expansion card must be purchased separately.

There is an Arduino starter kit that contains the most commonly used components. The kit includes a manual that allows you to implement 15 automated projects yourself. The software product is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. A special Arduino language is used to program the microcontroller.

Heating system automation

Both electric and centralized (gas) heating are subject to automation. It is quite difficult to implement a smart home with your own hands. Electrical and physics knowledge required. Standard heating system consists of a boiler (gas, electric, less often solid fuel), pipelines - direct and return. The equipment is connected to sensors, information from which will be read by the controller. To connect smart heating you will need:

• — Arduino controller;
• — Arduino expansion module;
• - a thermocouple that performs measurements flue gases;
• — relay blocks — 4 pieces (2 each for activator and pump);
• — display and adapters for it;
• — digital water thermometer.

A circuit is assembled based on the above components, and the finished board is installed in the computer processor. A description of how to assemble an Arduino can be seen in the video. A project is created for subsequent assembly printed circuit board in the Fritzing program, the necessary components are installed on it in the program environment. The board is tested for functionality using software. Then, using the Arduino development environment, the program code is written to the assembled controller.

Important: During the assembly process, it is necessary to maintain the proportions of the board. The technical parameters of the modules are selected strictly according to the scheme.

The code is selected taking into account plug-ins and smart home capabilities. One circuit is capable of implementing several complex solutions for automating the heating of a smart home. There are many tutorials that allow you to program the necessary options in the module yourself. The controller allows you to change system parameters on the fly through programming. The system will read sensor readings and control the operation of the boiler.

"Smart" plumbing

The goal of a smart home is uninterrupted supply cold water and hot control. Autonomous system water supply consists of a reservoir in which water will be accumulated and stored, and a pump. The tank must be designed for daily norm. The pump pumps water from the source, and it can be collected into the container by gravity. To avoid overflows, install shut-off valves. When the amount of water reaches in the tank the required level, the flow of water into it will stop.

Water from the storage facility is pumped through pipes pumping station. When the tap opens, the pressure inside the pipes decreases, and the installation begins to operate. When the tap is closed, the pressure, on the contrary, increases, and the station turns off. Filters are installed on the water supply deep cleaning, for sewerage - multi-stage, which allow wastewater to be used again, for example, for irrigation.

Hot water supply is provided using solar panels. The water is heated and accumulated in a special tank. The tank is equipped with high-quality thermal insulation to prevent rapid cooling. This heating kit includes gas or electrical equipment for heating water. The water heater is turned on when heating solar battery ineffective or stock exhausted hot water. This implementation of a “smart” water supply system allows you to save costs on heating it.

"Smart" watering is effective in large areas. It allows you to reduce costs and save time on irrigation. The pumps, upon command sent from the computer, begin to supply water through the piping system. Spraying water can be organized in a circle or pointwise. It all depends on the design of the installed injectors. They hide in the greenery of plants or grass and begin to irrigate when water is supplied. The irrigation system is programmed by zones: some water frequently, others - once a day or weekly.

In places where pipes branch, install solenoid valves, which prevent the supply of water to someone else's area. The valve opens only when a command is issued from the computer. Only then will watering be carried out in this zone. In places where light watering is required, install drip system irrigation. The main task here is to calculate the frequency of watering so that the plants have enough water and there is no stagnation. Storage tank installed on a hill. Water flows through the pipes by gravity and enters the soil through mechanical dispensers.

Automated accounting of resource consumption

The smart metering system is implemented using special devices metering of gas, electricity and water. Traditional devices are not technically capable of transmitting information independently for further calculations. Terminals with pulse output are installed at the outputs of the devices. WITH pulse outputs counter information is transmitted to the controller. The controller transmits the data to the hub, where the pulses are decrypted and then software is used.

Further calculation is performed special programs, for example, a calculation table is created in Excel. Most software can not only calculate the cost of services, but also plan them for a given period. The system can connect to the bank and make payments without the participation of the owners. It also compares the compliance of consumption with limits and adjusts the operation of the equipment.

Multimedia device management and security

A smart home system can control the operation of audio and video players, televisions and other equipment not only from one room, but also from the street. The signal is transmitted either via cable system, pre-installed in the wall, or by wireless networks. You can additionally connect any multimedia equipment to the system via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Each family member in their room will listen to their own content and watch any video without being tied to other residents. The operation of several channels can be configured simultaneously remotely or using the panel.

The system is configured so that when moving from one room to another, the sound from the video “follows” the person. In the same way, you can configure video surveillance. When moving from one room to another, you can monitor what is happening in the house and on the street. Such a symbiosis of the two systems is necessary when there are small children in the house.

“Smart” acoustics can notify residents of emergency events, for example, a water leak or a power outage, and show by video where children are. The multimedia complex easily connects to the Internet for households to view content online. Connecting a smart multimedia module is optional.

The security system is assembled according to the diagram. During the assembly process, it is taken into account that it can be disabled without permission only after disassembling the housing of the board itself. Fire detectors are used for warning. To turn off the system, it is recommended to install magnetic switches. They are resistant to dirt, less susceptible to damage and deformation.

Building a smart home with your own hands can be difficult for a person who does not have special education. Of course, everything can be made much easier by purchasing ready-made smart home modules. However, it is better to create the system yourself.

What is a “smart home”

Before starting work on self-creation various amenities, you need to understand what a smart home system is and what it is capable of.

A smart home cannot be characterized by two or three functions. For a shorter definition, it should be said that in such a system all communications are connected to a computer and controlled with its help. The system carefully monitors the temperature in the rooms of the house, observes and records images from video cameras. With the help of computer technology, you can adjust the light, the temperature of the floor or radiators, turn on various electrical appliances and much more.

The degree to which the house is equipped with various modules is determined by the connected equipment or the imagination and creative skills of the master.

Why is it better to start installing such a system in your home yourself? Because in this case, the owner himself will be able to regulate various modules, complicate and modify them. He will have in his hands the open source code of the system, which he will be able to correct at his own discretion. Ready-made modules and kits do not provide such freedom of action. They are completely dependent on the development company.

Another advantage of independent development is that the specialist will not spend a lot of money either on installing modules or on repairs. If a ready-made kit is supplied, then any modification will be quite expensive. In addition, the kit itself will also be a significant expense.

What a smart home system can do depends largely on the imagination of its creator.

Where to start

You need to start arranging a smart home with the most basic things.

1. You will need a computer.
2. You will have to create a website for your home, where various functions will be reflected.
3. You will need to install special software (programs). To do this, you will need to check compatibility software with a computer."
4. Make a diagram.
5. The first functions you plug in may be the simplest ones. You can start with a home monitoring system and indoor temperature control.

Arrangement details

1. Installing a local server on Linux.
2. Apache server settings.
3. Using Linux you can organize a video surveillance system. This requires ZoneMinder.
4. You need to create a website for a smart home using Apache.
5. For surveillance, you can install various alarms and USB cameras. You also need to install temperature sensors and install the appropriate software.

This is the minimum set with which you can start arranging a smart home. Having understood the details of such operations, you can move on to more complex things. In order to inexpensively create a full-fledged control system for various communications and equipment functions in the premises of the house, there is no need to invent anything. On the Internet you can find a lot of solutions to create comfort and coziness.

Some masters have been posting their developments for a long time and inviting users to try them out.

Creating a website for your home can seem like one of the most difficult parts. In fact ready module site can be found on the Internet today. For those who want to start developing on their own, you need to do the following.

1. Understand PHP and learn to work with MySQL.
2. The control system for smart home functions will be based on various scripts. They do not need to be developed, most of them are available to users. You just need to understand the installation sequence.
3. The scripts will run regularly and update information about the system state.
4. The JQuery library will also come in handy. With its help you can even create an excellent appearance site without studying cascading style sheets.
5. Working with databases can be made easier if you use an engine to manage the site.

Smart home functions

The functions and possibilities of a smart home are almost limitless. Therefore, only a few of them will have to be considered.

The light can be adjusted using several devices. For example, dimmers can be installed to regulate light levels. Such devices, however, will only work in certain cases. They will not work in fluorescent lamps.

The disadvantage of dimmers is a constant light background noise.

Switches are installed in the place where light switches are usually located. With their help, the light can be turned on and off.

Household appliances

Household appliances can be turned on and off using the same switches as in the case of light control.

There is no need to make all systems at home completely automatic. It is better to leave the option of normal manual control. Otherwise, in case of problems, you will have to work hard.

Observation

The surveillance system can be equipped so that cameras located in the house can be monitored even from the workplace. This is not very difficult; a video camera system can be installed as the first function of a future smart home. The essence of this technology is that the signal from the cameras is transmitted to a specific computer. Data from sensors and cameras can even be received on portable devices.

Along with video cameras, you can also install motion sensors. They will work on the same principle. To set up software on your computer, you just need to download the appropriate modules from open source. In order to be able to regulate and modify the code in the future, you will have to understand a little about the structure of such systems. It's easier than learning programming.

Desire and work will help you overcome obstacles in mastering the fascinating science of creating a smart home. You just need to not be afraid of the new, and over time you will even become passionate about the process.

Video

We bring to your attention the following videos on the topic of creating a smart home:

Mine country house– this is the dream of many. And it is quite important that the house is carefully planned and comfortable to live in. Today, most of us want to make a smart home with our own hands without involving specialists. We will consider the concept of a smart home in more detail below in our article.

A smart home is a system based on the complete automation of all housing mechanisms. Those. you can easily turn off the lights in the corridor with one click on the control panel. But, in order to design a smart home with your own hands, you will have to try.

That is why most people prefer ready-made smart home systems offered by different manufacturers.

With the help various wires, controllers, sensors and actuators, you will be able to control all components of your home, such as:, lighting and . And your participation in this process will be minimal - control is carried out only by the remote control.

How to implement a smart home system?

The smart home system is very popular and widespread. With such a system, any home owner will be able to control all the necessary components of their home. Large quantity companies install a smart home system taking into account all the wishes of customers. And it is worth noting that each development is individual, the system is created for a specific object, and a smart home is designed differently for each specific case.

The smart home system assumes that your home will be filled with a variety of “electronic elements”. These include ventilation, air conditioners, boilers, sources uninterruptible power supply. Of course, installing all these systems is quite difficult, but it’s still worth trying to install the system.

All houses represent a certain mechanism that must be assembled competently and correctly, i.e. you have to fill it out with different communications and technical devices. In order to make a smart home with your own hands, you need to connect a number of components into one stable overall system.

Simple design You can easily assemble it yourself, but to do this you must have certain skills, such as:

• Electrical knowledge and ability to operate various electrical appliances;
• ability to work with current;
• have an idea of ​​the principles of constructing automatic systems;
• know programming;
• understand algorithms;
• Excellent knowledge of the equipment used.

Your main task is to combine all the mechanisms into one whole in order to control the entire house using a computer or mobile device.

Warning system

Installing a smart home means preventing accidents, because... This is a guarantee that you will not worry about structural failure or pipe leakage. When installed in your home automatic system power supply, you can keep control over the entire load on the power grid. And even if a short circuit occurs, the supply electrical energy will be terminated without any damage to your equipment. And if you accidentally forget to turn off the iron or tap, then electronic sensor will warn you about this and, if necessary, turn off all systems.

Electricity supply

A smart home system requires high-quality power supply. This is especially important for areas where there are frequent power outages. To protect your equipment and home in general, you need to install the battery in stabilized power supplies. This will allow all systems to remain operational in the event of an emergency. emergency situations. If you don't want to think about possible electrical failures, install in your home diesel generator and backup electrical power supply units.

Due to automatic control, the fuel level in the generator will be constantly monitored, and the load on electrical network will be distributed more evenly.

Security alarm in a smart home

Smart home technology also includes home protection. Installing an alarm system with your own hands is not difficult. special labor. You can place sensors along the fence that covers your territory, as well as on walls, rooms, windows and doors. When one of them is triggered, all programmed warning systems are immediately activated.

Such a system consists of a control panel, a presence sensor, a UPS with a battery, an audible siren, and a key reader.

Smart home: lighting

You can easily develop a lighting control system with your own hands, thanks to which you can significantly. It is necessary to choose the quantity and types depending on the room and its interior.

The main thing when developing a lighting system- This automatic control, then you won’t have to worry about whether you turned off the light or not. You can set it to light up when you approach and go out when you leave.

Energy consumption

To limit the power in your home, it is imperative to install an energy management system. With this solution you can avoid various problems, which occur if the power reaches its maximum. If your home has electrical installations, the entire power supply may be overloaded. When creating an intelligent system, you can smoothly include floors in different rooms until the house warms up. This system will allow you to avoid sudden network surges. And as the energy approaches the maximum, the generator will turn on itself, and after it decreases, it will turn off.

Sockets and power supplies

You can easily equip all the sockets in the house with your own hands. This solution is cost-effective, because All you need is an antenna and you can control it from a distance using a key fob.

The idea of ​​this system is that everything electrical sockets in the house are connected via a single circuit. Therefore, when you receive a command to turn on the kettle or toaster, the appliances will start working at the time specified by them.

In addition, the presence of this centralized system will allow you to disable all enabled electrical appliances with one press of a button on the remote control.

Warm floor

To date floor coverings have become widespread, although their installation is expensive. By warm floor comfortable and pleasant to walk. Warm floor coverings come in two types: water and electric. When installing a smart home system, you will be able to constantly maintain a certain temperature in the rooms. And you can control it using a remote control.

A smart system is a guarantee that your home or apartment will be constantly maintained optimal temperature. And energy consumption will be more rational and profitable.

Smart home: heating

In standard apartments, you won't be able to simply turn off the heating system if you feel hot. The smart home system makes it easy to solve this problem, because... special intelligent modules are built into it. Thanks to them, the room is maintained comfortable temperature, which can be changed automatically using the remote control. This system can be used in any interior without any particular harm to it. Install this system Just: Special control valves are installed on heating radiators.

They are controlled automatically using a remote control with a built-in temperature sensor. With a more complex configuration, the valves and remote controls are connected via a radio channel, and control and adjustment are carried out via a computer or the Internet.

Today there is huge amount technological solutions to make your home functional and furnished. And many of the options presented are very simple. You can do some things yourself, for example, installing an automatic water supply or a system that protects from snow and ice. But some systems still require a professional approach, this applies to power supply devices.
