Through the past decade we have seen mobile phones becoming ‘smart’ with apps that make it easier to shop, order food, book tickets, pay bills and assist in a number of everyday tasks. The trend has kept up and is now impacting other systems including our cars, workspaces and homes.

The smart home technology has already given a push to home automation in Melbourne. Home owners can leverage it to control almost all aspects of their houses through the Internet of Things (IoT).

There is no universally acknowledged protocol for home automation process and the processes vary across countries and the engineering companies offering this technology. It is a fast-paced industry where techniques are constantly evolving. Generally, this mechanism is based on electricity, sensors, radio waves and wireless technology for the transfer of messages between devices.

Central Control is one of the chief home-automation setups used today. It helps you control different devices in your home from a central source. These typically include lights, thermostat, garden sprinklers, dishwasher, microwave, laundry machine, dryer and others. This is a popular home automation set-up used by wealthy homeowners in swanky residential premises. Some businesses may also install these systems at their workplaces and they include security, access control & automation in Melbourne.

These central control systems are usually managed with a wall mounted terminal and can also be accessed through remote controls, smartphones or computer applications.

The prime advantage of a central control system is that it helps to manage multiple devices with different functions through just one, centrally controlled unit. These are high end and high quality systems but the only drawback is that they are not quite affordable. Middle income groups may not be able to buy and maintain them.

An alternative to the premium central control systems is app based smart home technology that can use a home network to communicate with the cloud. App based smart devices link automated home devices such as television, washing machine, dishwasher to the home network through Wi-Fi. The devices can then connect to a server in the cloud and can be accessed by owners through their smart phones.

Owners can create their password protected personal accounts with home automation apps to control their smart home devices. As long as the devices are connected with the Internet, users can communicate with their cloud connected home automation devices from any location.

App based home automation technology can also use Bluetooth to connect home appliances with smartphones. A personal account needs to be created for device control in this case too. However, unlike cloud based apps where it is possible to give instructions from anywhere with Internet connectivity, the users need to be in a Bluetooth range around the devices for them to function.

Thanks to app based home automation and security solutions, the common people can enjoy the comforts that this technology brings. These are easy to install, use and update. More and more devices are getting connected to the cloud and technology is continually progressive.

If you would like to stay in a house where you can switch on the air conditioner and set a desired temperature before you enter your room, where doors can be securely locked with a tap on the smartphone, and you can ensure that all devices are functioning as they should even when you are away, the smartphone technology is not a fantasy anymore. You can get these smart devices installed at affordable rates. Talk to your service provider for details.
