| - | ====== Home Automation ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Home automation is a concept that can be confused with smart-home. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Home Automation is a more general concept, which refers to make your home capable of performing action by itself depending on triggers, events or timing. This can be more or less //smart//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The smart-home concept instead is more tightly coupled to the IoT (Internet of Things) and in general, COTS based environments. This is a more recent concept, but i don't really like it because it always match up with proprietary environments, | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====== The Goal ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | What i have accomplished so far, and i am proposing here for you, is an **Home Automation** approach that leverages open standards, avoid lock-in solutions as much as possible, keeps all your data in your own home, and is as **smart** as possible. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The goal of this approach is to make your home //smarter// (i don't like this term), and let you be in control, always: | ||
| - | * No vendor lock-in (no Google, Alexa, Brondi, whatever requirement) (1) | ||
| - | * Works always even if 100% offline from internet (2) | ||
| - | * Fully configurable and automatize-able | ||
| - | * Uses only standard protocols | ||
| - | |||
| - | Note (1): depending on which tech you already own, you can integrate locked-in stuff as well | ||
| - | |||
| - | Note (2): in some cases, cloud dependency might be unavoidable for specific items | ||
