Increasingly, these systems also have the ability to operate via voice control. The user interface for controlling the system includes wall-mounted terminals, tablets, desktop computers, mobile phone applications or web interfaces that are also accessible offsite via the internet.
A home automation system typically connects all controlled devices to a central hub or "gateway". The word "smart" in "smart home" refers to the system being aware of the state of its devices via smart home light switches, for example, and is made possible through the use of the internet.Ī connected home is one that uses smart home automation to monitor and/or control systems within the home, such as lighting, heating, air conditioning, appliances, entertainment systems and home security. In addition to turning your lights on and off, dimming them and controlling your scenes, smart light switches can provide other features that allow even more in-home customization, such as controlling ceiling fans and other hard-wired appliances.
When paired with smart bulbs, smart light switches can turn lights on and off, adjust their brightness and cycle through your preferred color combinations (often called scenes). Smart switches simply turn your lights on and off they don’t allow for dimming or changing colors unless you’re using compatible bulbs. Most smart light switches require setup using a mobile app. Smart home light switches come in two types: in-wall, which are permanently installed using your home’s existing wiring, and on-wall, which are typically affixed to the wall, operate on battery power and are typically a better choice for renters. Some can even be voice-controlled through home automation systems and apps.
Smart light switches are home automation devices that use WiFi to communicate between the light switch and your smartphone, tablet or computer in order to offer customized control of the lighting in your home.
