| - | ====== Home Automation Server ====== | ||

| - | Home automation is a concept that can be confused with smart-home. They are not the same thing, as home automation is something that has been going on for quite a while, but smart-home refers to a more modern concept. | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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, | ||
| - | |||
| - | I strongly suggest that you use a **dedicated Home Automation Server**. While you could use the home server to host the automation server as well, i prefer to have two discrete systems so that general services will not affect home automation and vice-versa. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Considering that home automation is something critical, which might be controlling your heating / cooling, your blinds and maybe also your intrusion detection, motion cameras and alarm system, i believe that is much better to have it independently located on it's own hardware. | ||
