How Does It Work?
Home automation systems contain three basic components. These electronic modules communicate with one another to automate different tasks around your home.
The components are:
- Controllers
This component controls and monitors the others. Often, it’s an app on your phone, tablet, or web portal. These online controllers are highly secure and allow you to view settings, make changes, and enter commands via Wi-Fi. Alternatively, the controller could be a remote control, similar in appearance to a television remote. - Actuators
While the controller controls, the actuator actuates—it performs the commands that you want to see completed. A “smart lock” is an example of an actuator. When you tell your phone to lock your door, the smart lock’s motors turn the bolt in place. - Sensors
These are the eyes and ears of the operation, keeping track of movement, light, sound, and temperature. Sensors send the information back to the controllers and actuators, triggering commands and collecting data. They have numerous uses, including touchless sinks and energy-saving thermostat programs.
Why Hire a Certified Electrician for Your Smart Home System Installation?
You can install some smart devices as a DIY project. However, for items that need hardwiring into your electrical system, or those who want to network their electronics into a seamless smart home system, you will want one of our certified electricians to ensure the job gets done correctly.
Making a small mistake during a complex wiring task can result in electrical risks, personal injury, or unreliable electronics. When you hire someone with professional training and experience, you will be sure that your investments are in good hands every step of the way.
