SenseHome system - integrated home automation solutions for mass installation.
About
A comprehensive smart home that really improves the quality of life can be installed and sold with apartment similarly as any modern car has built-in smart electronics. The time of the customization of vehicles in repair shops have passed. Today, after trying IoT-gadgets, a large number of people are ready for a new level of home automation. They want home with all the automation installed. With no additional costs, no special installation. The residential developers do not have the technology of mass implementation of smart homes at the moment. The installation of a smart home in living apartments can improve the quality of life of people, especially for the people with disabilities. Now the market is divided into two parts: expensive complex solutions, that have to be installed by professionals, and IoT gadgets that solve local problems. IoT-gadgets are not intended for mass installation in residential complexes, and the existing complex systems require the developer to have a staff of specially trained engineers for smart home systems installation and maintenance with a high salary, and at the same time, each apartment will have to be individually configured and programmed, which means that we will need a lot of such specialists. The idea was to give an electrician who installs the system, something that he can easily handle - just an automation switchboard that needs to be wired according to the scheme, without programming and any complicated setup. To ensure mass sales and to keep the price low we decided to work on the automation of the technological cycle. We have automated all the stages of preparing documentation on assembling and connecting automation switchboards, making the software configuration. We also have created the automated lab for system testing. With this approach, the business is easy to scale: any electrician can act as installer, who sells and installs the smart home system. He does not need special training, which provides a low barrier to entry. This has been repeatedly confirmed in practice during our remote installations. Also, we implemented Apple HomeKit support. Each device, controlled by our automation system and each scenario are available via Apple HomeKit as separate accessories. This approach combines the strong points of existing smart home solutions. The client receives a full-fledged comprehensive solution at a low price, which allows him to expand the smart home system by purchasing individual IoT gadgets as needed.
Key Benefits
The market will become truly massive only when real estate developers start selling smart apartments. For real estate developers smart home is a marketing advantage that allows them to sell real estates objects faster. If one client chooses an apartment next to the pond, then another prefers an apartment with a smart home. Our solutions work ideally for mass installation. Automation of the technological cycle makes it possible to deploy systems quickly and easily using existing personnel, and the final price for mass introduction practically does not affect the price of the real estate.
