Designing a Future Smart Home<\/h2>\n

Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is a smart home?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, we define it as a home with automation devices to control lighting, HVAC systems, home security systems, and other smart home devices.<\/p>\n

That means you can walk into your home at night and using your voice to, “turn on hallway and upstairs lighting”. It also means using your hand-held device to turn up the AC before you get home.<\/p>\n

Likewise, you can use home automation to check in on your family when traveling for business – and connect to your home computer to retrieve a file that is on the main hub.<\/p>\n

Now the question is, what is a “future” smart home look like? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This post will explore using the diagram above to analyze the design of a future home – a home that is connected to a central command center that automates family management, communication, energy consumption, health and safety.<\/p>\n

Another advantage of future smart homes is the collection of data to improve family home efficiency. The command center will schedule appointments, remind family members of events, and track usage and time to balance out life – whether you are at home, at work, or traveling in your car.<\/p>\n

So let’s review what a “future home” may look like – starting with the understanding of Internet of Things (IoT):<\/p>\n
