Automation - Home automation
1 Home automation (also called domotics) designates an emerging practice of increased automation of
household appliances and features in residential dwellings, particularly
through electronic means that allow for things impracticable, overly
expensive or simply not possible in recent past decades.

Home automation
1 Home automation for the elderly and disabled can provide increased
quality of life for persons who might otherwise require caregivers or
institutional care.

Home automation
1 The popularity of home automation has been increasing greatly in recent
years due to much higher affordability and simplicity through smartphone and tablet connectivity. The concept of the Internet of Things
has tied in closely with the popularization of home automation.

Home automation
1 The techniques employed in home automation include those in building automation as well as the control of domestic activities, such as home
cinema|home entertainment systems, houseplant and yard
watering, Raw feeding|pet feeding, changing the ambiance scenes for different events (such as dinners or parties), and the use of domestic
robotshttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-home-automation-toolkit.html
Home automation
1 Possibly the first home computer was an experimental home automation system in
1966.

Home automation - History
1 Home automation has been a feature of science fiction writing for many years, but has only become practical since the early
20th Century following the widespread introduction of electricity into the home, and
the rapid advancement of information technology. Early remote control devices began to emerge in the late 1800s. For
example, Nikola Tesla patented an idea for the remote control of vessels and vehicles in
1898.

Home automation - History
1 In 1966 Jim Sutherland, an engineer working for Westinghouse Electric Company|Westinghouse Electric, developed a home automation
system called ECHO IV; this was a private project and never
commercialized

Home automation - History
1 During the 1990s home automation rose to prominence

Home automation - History
1 Despite interest in home automation, by the end of the 1990s there was
not a widespread uptake - with such systems still considered the domain of hobbyists or the rich. The lack of a single, simplified, protocol and high cost of entry has put off consumers.

Home automation - History
1 While there is still much room for growth, according to ABI Research, 1.5 million
home automation systems were installed in the US in 2012, and a sharp uptake could see shipments topping over 8 million in
2017[http://www.abiresearch.com/press/15-million-home-automation-systems-

Home server - Home automation
1 Home automation requires a device in the home that is available 24/7.
Often such home automation controllers are run on a home server.

Smart appliance - Home Automation
1 Instead of selling discrete products, some service providers have begun
offering complete and externally managed home automation and
home security solutions that lease networked systems of devices and
couple them with externally managed service.

Home Automation for the Elderly and Disabled
1 This field uses much of the same technology and equipment as home
automation for security, entertainment, and energy
conservation but tailors it towards the elderly and disabled.

Home Automation for the Elderly and Disabled - Concept
1 Due to the drastic increases in health-care facility costs, more and more elderly people are turning to home automation, a concept also known as smart homes, to allow
them to age in the comfort of their own homes
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-home-automation-toolkit.html
Home Automation for the Elderly and Disabled - Concept
1 There are two basic forms of home automation systems for the elderly:
embedded health systems and private health networks

Home Automation for the Elderly and Disabled - Advantages
1 The transition to a health care facility can cause a lot of anxiety and home automation can either prevent or delay this anxiety (Cheek 2005)

Home Automation for the Elderly and Disabled - Systems
1 Home automation for healthcare can range from very simple alerts to
lavish computer controlled network interfaces. Some of the monitoring
or safety devices that can be installed in a home include lighting and motion sensors, environmental controls, video cameras, automated
timers, emergency assistance systems, and alerts.

Home Automation for the Elderly and Disabled - Security
1 In order to maintain the security of the home many home automation systems integrate features such as
remote keyless entry systems which will allow seniors to view who is at
the door and then remotely open the door. Home networks can also be programmed to automatically lock doors and shut blinds in order to
maintain privacy.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-home-automation-toolkit.html
Home Automation for the Elderly and Disabled - Reminder systems
1 Home automation systems may include automatic reminder systems for the elderly
(Cheek 2005)

Home Automation for the Elderly and Disabled - Challenges
1 This currently creates a problem because many of the interfaces
designed for home automation “are not designed to take functional
limitations, associated with age, into consideration” (Cheek 2005)
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-home-automation-toolkit.html
Home Automation for the Elderly and Disabled - Challenges
1 The biggest concern expressed by potential users of smart home
technology is fear of lack of human responders or the possible
replacement of human caregivers by technology (Cheek 2005), but home
automation should be seen as something that augments, but does
not replace, human care.

XAP Home Automation protocol
1 'xAP' is an open protocol used for home automation and supports integration of telemetry and control devices primarily
within the home. Common communications networks include RS232, RS485, Ethernet
wireless. xAP protocol always uses broadcast for sending the messages. All the receivers listens to the message and introspects the
message header to verify whether the message is of its interest. xAP protocol has
the following key advantages.

Robots - Home automation for the elderly and disabled
1 Robots used in Home automation for the elderly and disabled|home
automation have developed over time from simple basic robotic
assistants, such as the ST Robotics#History|Handy 1, through to semi-autonomous robots, such as Care-Providing Robot FRIEND|FRIEND
which can assist the elderly and disabled with common tasks.
