Control
Your home can be controlled from local switches, thermostats, wired or wireless. More common trend is to use a tablet to control your whole home through a visualisation. Visualisation is done via wifi or internet connection.
Lights
Dimmering, switching, night mode, scenes, all of commands and other functions. Through relays wall sockets can also be controlled.
Heating, ventilation, cooling
Common practice for HVAC systems is to control them room by room. Each room has it's own thermostat which has it's setpoint. Compared to room temperature, the device sends out heating or cooling commands. Ventilation can be controlled by CO2 sensor readings.
Blinds / shades control
By controlling shades and blinds we can ensure that our room has the desired climate. By creating different scenarios we can control blinds by time-based modes or by the amount of sunlight outside.
Multimedia
Integrating music centers (like Sonos) into home control.
Smart metering of electricity and water consumption
Displaying water and electricity consumption, monthly reports, alarms (water leaks etc.)
